I get it. The bottom line is that clients want value added to their business and projects. Whether its to help them become established, increase market share or gain a competitive edge. Design is a strategic tool for business success. However none of this can be obtained without first understanding the 'Why' behind it. I can only do my job effectively when every element has intentional value assigned, all supporting user needs first, then commericial business needs second.
