I suspect it is trickier designing one for yourself as you are creator, judge and jury. With a client, you get feedback and direction to help the creative juices.

It is tough when designing for yourself. There are several factors for this. I believe one of the biggest is that you are (as many say) your own worst critic. You are also challenged with finding your inner self (which is difficult for most of us, especially artist), what style should your logo present, what colors and fonts are most comfortable for you and your product or service, which designs represent you? When you are working for a client all you have to go by is what they tell you and the feelings you get of the client during your meetings. This narrows your scope of vision and makes it easier to target your sites on the client.

I think most designers struggle in *hiring* themselves, reasons for that differs from designer to designer.

But how many times do you hear designers sulking that the client chose the *wrong* or *least effective* design?

The fact that we know what makes an effective design should make the process easier as opposed to having a client that has minimal (or no design literacy at all) given the authority to have the final say on which design stays and which goes.

Plus one gets too obsessed with perfection.
