I’ve been guilty of this and mistakes have been known to pile up. The client comes back and lists a few “stupid” mistakes that I probably would have noticed had I checked my work.

This is a nice article! I think everybody want to have that break at the end of a project – but as i’m sure a lot of people will agree with me, its difficult to find the time – even more difficult to find a client that is happy with an extra 2 days on the project. But i am an advocate of this non the less! Thanks for posting!

I do this with both my writing and music. Certainly pays dividends.

i’ve more recently started to let my designs sit for at least a day before reviewing them again and sending them off. not only has this helped me catch any little mistakes or rough edges that i may have originally missed, but coming back to the designs later on with a fresher perspective has definitely helped me to quickly identify any elements i’m not 100% on (but may have let by the night/day before) and then to make the necessary adjustments. as a result, my designs have been better and i also have more confidence when presenting them to clients.

thanks for the article!

The Two-Day Rule could be 3-day or 4-day Rule.
I also practise it.
It is more than necessary, it is a MUST.
Thanks.

hahahaha! …it would be nice to have the luxury of 2 days, but things on my desk have to be at the printers the same day. lol

As a photographer, my clients come to me because I have a reputation for making people look beautiful. Sometimes that can mean pretty extensive retouching, which I tend to overdo. I have made it a habit to let my “finished work” sit for a least a day, at which time I almost always come back and dial it back to a more realistic image.
