How Would You Like Your Graphic Design?

How Would You Like Your Graphic Design?

There are times when things just need to be explained using a spectacular Venn diagram. I made this last night whilst sitting on a screened in porch by an outdoor fireplace when it was late. Design is a funny thing, not as funny as a Kangaroo jumping on a trampoline, but let’s be honest what is as funny as that? I’ll give you a little hint: nothing.

Anyways, I love design, but it has its limitations in the creation process. Hopefully this helps you understand what those are limitations are, and helps you choose how you would like your design work in the future.

Your thoughts?

    I’ve been explaining this to people for years. This poster delivers the message very well.

    I would LOVE to frame and hang this up in my office – do you have any prints available? Please email me if you do. Awesome job!!!!

    This is beautiful in its simplicity.
    It truly articulates what I have been trying to communicate to clients (internal and external) for years!
    And I agree, I would love to hang this poster above my desk – as a picture paints a thousand words! Especially those kind conversations pertaining to the “coated in ugly sauce”!!!!!

      unfortunately, I’m not longer able to print them at the moment, however i should be opening the store back up soon once I find another suitable printer. I’ll keep you in the know once it comes back for sale.

    We (the video team at our church) loved your concept so much we decided to make another tribute graphic to “How would you like your video?” Check it out. What do you think? http://marketingjesus.net/how-would-you-like-your-video/

    Hello Colin!

    I’ve seen your Infography a few months ago but now I decided to make my own version, translating (not literally but transmiting the main ideas) into spanish. I hope there won’t be a problem. I’ll post it in my website quoting your page and your work and then I will post it here.

    ^_^

      Hey Surien,
      I appreciate you letting me know. If you want to save yourself the time, there have been a half dozen or so who’ve gone before you in the translating to spanish process if you wanted to just google for one of their options. However, I am always interested to see what others come up with. Thanks again for letting me know and for the attribution. I appreciate your integrity very much!

      Keep being amazing,

    I am going to make a screen shot of this right now and send it to a few clients.

    Pretty sure free is a subset of cheap.

    • Colin December 15, 2012 at 4:36 pm #

      please tell me about the time you paid for something free.

    Hi Colin,

    I found this earlier this year and thought it was great. I recreated it slightly and thought that i would show it to you. Hope you like it!

    Great…. But you forgot a circle… the one where the client wants it exactly their way, which may not be cheap, always great in their mind, fast as in they want it now, but yn way ou can’t deliver it that fast especially withn their budget.

    You might have it covered in utopia, but I think it deserves its own space.
