Most Graphic Designers Aren’t What Clien...

The most common misconception of being a graphic designer?
To “make things look good.”

That mindset is exactly why clients are moving on. Fast.

AI can make things look good, faster, and cheaper. And customers are quickly flocking to a "Good enough" mentality.

In this unapologetic episode of The Angry Designer, we expose the dangerous gap between what designers think clients want… and what clients actually need in today’s AI-fueled, shortcut-obsessed world.

We’re diving deep into:

• Why execution-first designers are being replaced by “good enough”
• What today’s clients really value (hint: it’s not your color palettes)
• How to shift from being a pixel pusher to a strategic powerhouse
• The first move every future-ready designer must make

If you’re still handing off logos and layouts without asking deeper questions, your days are numbered.

But if you’re ready to solve real business problems, lead with strategy, and think bigger—you won’t just survive. You’ll own the damn future.

This episode kicks off a multi-part series on becoming the future designer—smarter, sharper, and impossible to ignore.
