I will always agree with article because it is and always will be at the core of my design philosophy.Trying to deliver quality typography
at a low cost does not work because clients will always try to drive prices down. It is a coninuous battle between standards and cost.

Yes yes and YES.This article gave reinforcement to my own business philosophys as a Builder of 27yrs.I refer to the 2nd to last paragraph and sentences in such as asking if clients would know the difference between $5
0 logos and well crafted, researched…I to find that I need to explain to clients (and sometimes in more detail than I can actually be bothered as it is time that could be used to just get on with the task in hand)anyhow my metorphoric $50 logos are the butchering handyman types who may carve the proverbial shit out of your sticking doors or windows when the root of the problem in my experience is 99.9999% hinge related the other.00001% is usually the paint has become to thick.What has all this builder stuff have to do with Designers you may ask ,and if you did my answer is for you to thourghly believe in the experiance and knowledge you have hard earned in the pursuit of your chosen PROFESSION and to not have your integrity questioned by ignorance.Oh and yes I have layperson issues with designs one very important one it being the super city logo .that is a classic example of a butcherd window.Another more important example of handypersons with $50 logos is the potential of the past, present,and future mayor;s of Auckland to have anything to do with the overall past present future architechtual design of this great city,and leave it in the hands of Pete Bossely and the likes of.Thankyou Tamara Nyholt for your positive article I hope my comments provide you with at least a little positive reinforcement (we all need it from time to time eh?)
