Designing for yourself... difficult or not?

[LuBnA]

I seem to be the only one that finds it easy to design for myself lol
I find it better because i know exactly what i want to make and i can see it in my head and can make it, while with a client, they have their own image of what they want a product to look like and you have a different one so its not always as easy to make them exactly what they wanted on the first go. With myself, i know what i like and don't like so its easier... getting inspired is tricky though...

Designing for me, is like hair to a woman. I'm never happy with it, always changing it, cropping bits, straightening bits, altering the colour, trying different styles and always playing with it.

Having said that, I'm never happy designing for others either. I always think something could be better, and it actually drives me up the wall.

I am forever changing my mind about my own stuff and when designing for others - but at least when I'm being paid for it there is a limit (budget) and therefore the fiddling has to stop!

I think it's easy enough if you have the processes in place. Simply follow them as you would do for a client. Just be careful not to get too caught up in tastes.
