Designers need clients and vice versa. The relationship between the both is not very complicated, neither it’s a bed of roses. They are constantly going after one another for one thing or the other. The relationship which a designer and their clients have is a combo of love and hate. For one amazing project, clients woo their designers but for a not-so-astounding work they are on designers’ nerves to get things done right. The Clash of opinions rises the bar of negotiations as well; and that makes their relationship even more interesting.

• It’s only lust: Clients and designers usually have different priorities – opposites attract.
• I’ll show you: It’s always a client who comes up with a better show. Right?
