| Thank you for your reply. It helped me grasp my feelings personally and gave me some great ideas. I'd like to give a quick response to some of your points. To your point on manipulation: I agree and I'm using the word "manipulate" a little cynically here. What I used it to mean is a frictionless way to convince my client. Regarding educating: I agree again, but I suppose a good portion of my question boils down to how to put myself in a position to educate, given that my client feels design isn't something I ought to have much of an opinion about. I fear that trying to educate without first having overcome that will lose me a lot of political capital. On finding alternatives and gathering feedback: Great suggestion. I'll definitely do that, thanks. On working within the client-defined parameters: I try to stay aware of that. As I pointed out in my post, I'm going along with their decision and changing the font without making a fuss. I still would like to find the limits of those parameters. On disassociating myself: I regret that's the way it came across because it isn't how I feel. I never considered walking away - I'll definitely finish the project. My comment with regards to putting it on my resume was more related to my skepticism about how much professional benefit I might receive from the project once I'm done with it if things aren't done right. Thanks again for your reply. It helped in more ways than one. |
