P.S. In case you have any questions, please email me. I do answer every email.
I’m not a designer but I have to hire out ’em out an awful lot, though.
I’m an idea, conceptual guy so communicating what I need an artist to do and keeping my ideas reigned in can be a struggle. (and, literally, I had a meeting a few hours ago with my graphic designer for a new project and pulled this information out when preparing for it…)
Sean is one of the most gifted teachers in the small business environment and intuitively knows how to work with ‘creatives’ who struggle with over-complicating things. He communicates in clear, simple and direct language —- for me, this allows me to get the concepts and understand what I must do inside a project.
There is never, EVER any fluff inside anything that Sean puts out – every little…matters and easy to digest.
“Design Clarity” has provided me with simple reminder to keep a keen understanding on what’s important and not lose sight on what is important from a prospect-oriented perspective.
If you are an a visual, creative thinker who tends to over-complicate the implementation of an web-driven idea, “Design Clarity” is not only going to help but empower you to get you best ideas done – faster, better, cheaper and more effectively.
Hi Sean,
I wasn’t sure I would get any great benefit from buying Design Clarity in Minutes. While I can create banners and graphics using software like Fireworks, I often struggle with designs that look good. But Design Clarity really focused on the important aspects of balanced design that was easy to understand.
What I really liked is the way you explained design concepts for non-graphics designers and it made it very clear on how to create or critique other graphic designers work.
Now I know what constitutes great looking design. I’ll be redesigning my business cards and banners with the concepts learned.
Thanks Sean for your wonderful clarity on helping me understand good and balanced design concepts. I have already recommended your product to other colleagues.
I could easily have refused the offer to get hold of Design Clarity, trusting to my own sense of what works as I have often in the past. After all, I know what looks good, don’t I?
Wrong. Once I’d got hold of the book, I realised how much of what I’ve thought was good design wasn’t. It’s that eye-opening experience, where your perspective shifts and you see things differently. It’s like that moment in coaching or psychotherapy where the client (or the coach/therapist) has the ahha! moment.
I particularly liked the Invisible Lines idea in structuring headlines. What a revelation! There are rules! I can understand and follow them! I don’t need a degree in design to put together a killer headline. My next brochure hasa been redesigned using this principle.
What is great about the package is that it is clear, concise and easy to understand. No hocus pocus. No jargon. Powerful concepts conveyed in language and ways that anyone can understand.
It’s particularly Sean’s clarity and common sense approach that is so attractive. I appreciate that he makes the mysterious seem obvious, which is a sure test of a great comunicator.
Highly recommended.
Nothing can prevent me from buying something from Sean. I knew that you were a cartoonist for along time so it is obvious that you have a very sharp intellect regarding Design and
Clarity. We people (our mind actually) know what is good and what is not
so good when we see something. But we are unable find out what is
effecting the case.
The factor of proximity (in your book) is one of the answer. This is a
great fact to understand and I think my website design
is greatly effected and influenced a lot from this
book. I have read a very few books about Design, drawing and paintings.
But the God has been very kind to me when I get the people who are experts in their field, in my first attempt of search, and Sean is expert in
design factors. I gave more than 30 instruction, to the designing firm,
based on the “Invisible line” as described in the book. I minimised the
use of colours and that was too was based on article “Colour Palette”.
I personally recommend this book to any one who think s/he is world
champion in the sprint of design. Those champions need a microsecond
improvement for the record breaking victory, this this book improves the
understanding a lot more.
Thanks for co-operation.

This could have been just another half baked overpriced “product” that I see on the internet. Some slippery fellow in a Hawaiian shirt all of a sudden an expert in a topic he hadn’t heard of the day before.
I value my time at $100 per hour. The information product needs to save at least twice that value in time needed to find the information using other resources. In other words, a $50 product must save me one hour of research. The product met my expectations. However, I would like to have seen a bibliography with the information.
‘ Design Clarity In Minutes’, provided me the information to improve the quality of the graphics that I do or hire someone else to do for me.
The other big benefits of this product were:
*Material cut to the chase. Provided the information I needed.
*It was also an inexpensive product to lend credibility to other products.
I purchased Design Clarity some time ago, I read it once and understood there was a lot I did not know.
I have read it many times now in relation to different projects I have been completing, each time I learn something new.
Having a clear picture in the beginning saves me a bundle of time. The old saying “If I was given half an hour to cut down a tree with an axe, I would spend 20 minutes sharpening my axe” applies here.
The clarity I now have is starting to show up in what I do and the results I get.
