How can you understand your client’s sense of design style? What questions can you ask them? Are there any exercises to help you get on the same page?
In this episode, we bring back a clip from our Adobe Max interview with design legend, Paula Scher as she shares what she has learned in her years of experience.
Who is Paula Scher?

Great content
Noted and I will put on my client logo questionnaires.
what kind of form you like and why you like and what you want to be to take this mark.
Thanks The futur Team
Hmmmm, I wonder how this contrasts wth Sagi Haviv's tip on making iconic logos where the logo is not love at first sight
Best content I ever seen. Thank you Futur & Chris Do!
Think this is the best design advice I've ever heard.
WOW! LEGEND…ARY!!
She is an amazing creative! Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this thefutur, Chris and Paula! Here's my takeaway:
1. Show them Examples (Ask: Like? and Dislike? and mark with 2 different colored sticky notes)
2. Modern? or Traditional? (or somewhere in between? maybe use a sliding scale to gauge this)
3. Talk about their competitors (How do they want to be the same? or different? listen carefully)
4. Pretend you're a personal shopper and you wanna get them something new (but in their taste)
Great!!!
She is a genius ❣️💪👍
Man this is pure gold.
She’s the best.
Nice. Thank you.
Something about this REALLY rubs me the wrong way. How is what the client LIKES the most important thing?
"I need you to design us a great stop sign. The only color I personally like is green."
Pure wisdom, learned so much in these five minutes, thanks again!
Just what I needed. Lately, I fell in this state where I was feeling kind of "superior" and was trying to impose my taste on my clients (and ended actually losing them). Thanks futur team.
Whats the one thing?
Fantastic information
This is gold. Thank you for sharing!
this was really important , so much value
I just saw this video from an emailer I got! Glad I checked it out. We just started our agency so these are some important but valuable tips. We've had a few mistakes where we did a design and the client did not like it. This is a good way to avoid that. I would love to hear who else had experiences like that. I think our agency site gives an idea of the style we create www.practice-practice.co
This video should have 500k views.
she's absolutely right – on how do you buy gifts for friends / shop for them.. exactly….
Fantastic advice, and excellent interview. Thank you for this.
Big, unanswered challenges, for me:
What the heck do you do when you have two or more stakeholders, on a given project, who have widely diverging tastes?
and…
What's a good way to handle/address the stakeholder who just doesn't "get" design, aesthetics, brand, strategy, etc.?
Are there Futur videos on these matters that maybe I've missed?
And that red belt on that dress is what differentiates them from all the sheep in the room ❤️ Thanks for another legendary piece of content! #girlpower 👊
Love this — Respect your elders, because you really don't know squat.
is Chris wearing a different hat!? whatttttt
Thanks Chris! I needed this advice!
This is a nice way to find out the clients taste! But IMO you should design for THEYR customer, not yours, no? But of course your client has to like it too in the end
wait, is this a repost?
Damn, Chris looks buffed
Paula And Sagi Are my inspirations <3
Both R Legend .
You can tell a true master by how much knowledge you gain from listening to them just for a few minutes. Gold.
Amazing interview 👏👏
I would say its Blurring the lines between what a client wants, what's appropriate for the industry & what the target customers expect from them.
It's not all about the client's taste. Nah (It's not all about them) They have a product, service, a community, etc they need to get their target market/customers to buy into.
It's a delicate dance between all those aspects.
I see Paula Scher, I click!
I'll always hop at the opportunity to gain insight from Paula.
Much thanks for the content! 🙏🏽
I feel every creatives needs to understand business like a gig. What ever the client specs for creatives relating it to the impact on the business . Treat the situation like a "dating therapy" . The truth is they know what they need but there's not clear view point on how to get there . Keep peeling the onion shell (questions) till it surface out. And your excuse for doing that is " if I don't understand the deepest problem and feel it like am in your shoes . I can't maximize the value of input I'll be bringing to the table" . Thanks
She is my Legendary list on top
adobe shilling getting too frequent
Excellent piece! Best interview i have listened to in a while
