Part of the idea, finding the source of the problem rather than taking the solution at face value, can be applied anywhere. In my experience in graphic design, a client will say something like "can you make our logo bigger", which is sort of a cliche of horrible clients, but it's a cliche because it happens so often.

However, if I simply ask "why", I find out that (90% of the time), they just want the logo to be more prominent. As a graphic designer, I know a number of tricks to make elements more visible aside from making them bigger. At this point I can offer a variety of solutions that increase visibility while maintaining the balance of the original design.
