At times I’ve had difficulty working with graphic designers. Usually problems occur when the designer starts getting some great ideas and throws deadlines out the window.
I found a great post on communicating with designers from Mike Berg, and here are three concepts that I took out of the article that I think will be very useful:
1. Find reference material and put together a mood board showing different images so the designer knows what sort of mood the graphics should be in. (see the article to know what a mood board is).
2. Set clear deadlines. If the artist starts to change scope make sure they can meet the deadline.
3. Always get the source image files from a graphics (eg. PSD files) .. do not just get the .PNG or other finished graphics files just in case you want to change or have the images changed.
You can read the article here that shares many other useful ideas for communicating with designers:
