When a design does not fit?

                                                                                         

Very often you have experienced that your client is not happy in the very first attempt. You spend long working hours to make a design for him and in the end he just walk away without reasonable explanation. This is not happening only with you but a lot more like you. So what is that which everybody does not follow or do wrongly?

The answer is not following the drill. Yes, many of us rush through the designing process and do not follow the resulting design fails. A design fails when the designer directly jumps on to the final conclusion without preparing any blueprint and not following the process.

The process which every designer needs to follow before starting for a new design is as follows. Following it orderly will result in a successful design. The process includes:-

Planning
Content Building
Designing
Development

In brief:-
Planning: -
Planning is assimilating all the information about your client’s needs and requirements. Put down your thoughts make a blueprint of the design which you have thought. A rough draft always helps. You must have all the required information about the design like the purpose and the objective.
Content Building: -
Where and how you are going to put the content. You mush have all the relevant information about the length of the content that needs to be put at a certain place. It is necessary because your images must supplement the content. The size of the content also affects the use of design. So you must know which content will fit where.
Designing: -
If you have followed your first two steps carefully and religiously then you must not have any problem. You have prepared the blueprint of the design; you know which content will be placed where, you just have to move your paintbrush keeping the client’s requirement in mind.
Development:-
You are done with your design part, now comes its development. Now to make your design work you need to convert it into codes like HTML/XHTML/CSS/PHP. Now its your choice either you do it yourself or you can outsource it to any firm which worth your attention.

The most common reason for design failure is designers start from 3rd step leaving the first two. This direct jump makes them to commit a blooper.
