I'm a designer, but thought this would be a good read and I wasn't disappointed. This was easy to read and really gave me some good reminders to a client's point of view and what to pay attention to so both sides are happy.
I first read his book Design Is A Job and loved his style. He is a no-nonsense guy who thoroughly understands the design process. You're My Favorite Client has the same kind of approach, but told from his experience with clients. This book is about the dos and don't's of working with designers. Follow this advice if you want the designer you hired to perform their best. I'm recommending this book to all of my clients. I should note, that this book contains some coarse language so keep that...
This book is good especially for those who have just started their career either as a designer or as a design director who has just established his/her first design studio.This book will keep you engaged as there is so much information based on the scenarios that you can relate too and also apply in your life. But the reason for giving 4 stars is because of the way of writing. It was filled with humor, jokes, sayings, quotes etc. At first, I was laughing at every bit but then it increased to a c...
I wrote a more extensive review here: https://medium.com/the-ux-book-club/r...
Concise, no-nonsense and bullshit-free guide to hiring and working with designers, written in Monteiro’s trademark™️ inimitable, acerbic tone.
Outstanding. I’d not only recommend this for anyone commissioning design or working with designers, but for designers themselves. It’s a book filled with hard-won, no-nonsense advice.
I can see how this would be very helpful on the client side, and that's great because they are clearly the target audience for this book. However being a designer it's mostly review of things you already know and have previously read in other places (like Monteiro's previous excellent book). Not to say there aren't some gems to be found in here, and fresh perspectives from the side of your clients. There are. You'll definitely take away a few things that you'll want to implement in your own proc...
This has some great, no-nonsense concepts for feedback giving and working with design teams. I enjoyed the joking tone at first, but it eventually got tiresome, and it felt somewhat repetitive or stretched out to get it long enough to call it a "book."
I enjoyed how easy it was to read and in the beginning I loved the tone of voice. At some point I felt this tone is a bit over the top. Still found useful points to the book, but I don’t know if I would actually give it to a client!
