Many designers find it difficult to talk about design and money, often assuming that their work should speak for itself. But like it or not, businesses and decision makers attach a value to creative work that can affect the entire design process, including the final creative work that gets approved. Join AIGA SF as we discuss how articulating the value of design to stakeholders elevates a design team from order takers to strategic partners. Topics will include:
- How you can articulate design as value
- Measuring the ROI of design
- How to set design fees
- How to negotiate salaries
- How to include clients in the design process
- Giving persuasive presentations
- Becoming a strategic partner
