    Deadlines -- setting client expectations

    Hi all, I've taken on a full-time role as a Visual Designer. It's only my second week and I have six presentations to work on. One has 40 slides and involves creating a new look and feel within brand -- new assets, infographics, charts, covers, etc. PLUS copywriting. The other presentations vary...

    The Illustration Thread

    Ok, just changed the heart and lips to start with. I think you're right... it's better red. What do you think?

    Ok thanks Wardy! I really appreciate your honesty. I'll give it some more thought. :-)

    The Illustration Thread

    Hi all... I was thinking of posting the below in my social media channels but am now seconding guessing myself. It would be great to get some honest feedback. I was going to write the following with it... I love designing in black and white. It’s mysterious, elegant and has the power to evoke...

    The Illustration Thread

    This is a personal project I’ve been working on. It’s an image of my mother who I lost to cancer a few months ago. Shortly before she passed, she would sit by the lake gazing out at the islands beyond. I often wonder what she was thinking. And when I do, it makes me very emotional. So, really...

    Clients from Hell

    Yes, that makes perfect sense. I really need to create a website for myself. To be honest, I've been a bit lazy when it comes to managing my own business. I put all my energy into making them successful and neglected to look for new clients or build a reputation for myself. I guess 2020 is the...

    Clients from Hell

    Ok, that's so helpful! Thank you so much for all your feedback and advice on this. It gives me a clear way forward. All I can do now is send them an email and see what happens. If they get offended by my proposed changes, so be it. I guess I'll just have to put myself out there, look for new...

    Clients from Hell

    And... what if they say it's not good enough, only pay you 50% but still use it?

    Clients from Hell

    Yes, as you say, the lines have become blurred. They were my first official ongoing client and I was excited to actually be making a living as not only a graphic designer, but a copywriter as I write almost all their copy and blog articles (although I don't get any credit as I'm a ghostwriter)...

    Clients from Hell

    Hi Scotty, Thanks for the response. You're right. :-( Unfortunately, I did get emotional about it which isn't very professional--a few tears. It wasn't about the money but more about how much I've done for them over the past year. I've worked such long hours for nothing to help them, and also...

    SHOWCASE: Sketches, Doodles & Illustrations

    Here are a couple of my illustrations using ink and watercolour. I say they're illustrations but I've not had any training in this area so don't have a lot of confidence. I do have an insta page where I keep my work but I've yet to promote them properly.
