    First Client being difficult

    As above, just give her what she wants. You know you have done a good job. Give the client want they want but offer other concepts as suggestions. As paul suggests put the better concepts in your portfolio. Alternatively work them up further to where you would like them. I would also say for...

    IT Flyer Feedback

    Hi Ric, Overall compostion works. Think your spacing is ok too good use of colour The 'Your vision | Our Expertise' looks like it could benefit from a slightly weightier font. Maybe a medium? I like to choose a typeface that has a lot of variations in weight and style. Is the opening...

    Logo Advice

    Hi Stumpy, Personally I really don't think this works. The green pulse that represents the 'N' is distracting, as a mark it is clashing the space within the type. I also think having it cramped into a circle cutting the edges off the text really makes it feel claustrophobic. I identify with...
