Hi All
Thanks for the help.
Surprisingly I am still doing this A5 double sided flyer for this client since I posted this thread.
I want to finish this now, get paid and move on to do some other work.
But this new client keeps making me do changes, gives me new things to add like logos and list of numbers, which takes more of my time and I have to move things around.
I dont think she knows what she really wants.
In her brief she hadn't given me anything. All I got was the company's website link, the logo and purpose for the flyer.
And said it was up to me to decide on what content the company needs in the flyer.
(This really annoys me as I am no god and I would have liked the client to give me some proper input and content information. As you end up wasting time because if the client doesn't know what they want then how the heck are you going to know?)
To understand what she really wants I had given her a list of questions in my word document and she only replied to one or two. Like just ignored the other questions of mine. I understand she is busy but by not responding properly and not giving me enough input it doesn't help either of us!
For this flyer I have created an illustrated character, a logo for the company's anniversary, an illustration of the map and things to go with it like a speech bubble, tree, sign for the list of numbers etc.
Basically both the sides are illustrative which is why it took me many hours.
I have charged her only 150 pounds for double sided for the flyer. I roughly did it for 11 hours but I must say it has taken me a lot more hours! Now I wish I had charged her much more!
What do you guys think?
Is this normal for clients to not give you a clear brief from the start and
instead say that they want you to tell them or up to you to decide?
Do you think I charged too little or high or just right?
Thanks
