Have-a-go mentality brings down fees

Surely part of the problem with trying to justify fees with some clients (Fee Survey, DW 31 July), is that they like to think they know something about the design process. Unlike solicitors, management consultants, accountants and advertising agencies where the knowledge and skill

is beyond the average punter, design is something we can all have a go at.

This, coupled with one man and a Mac supplying comparatively cheap, acceptable solutions, only adds to the problem.
