Hello all!
A bit of background - I'm just out of uni and I've done around 10+ freelance graphic design jobs until now. My most loyal client has given me another job recently but I'm stuck... She doesn't really have any ideas herself so I have to kind of think of everything from scratch for her.
My job is to make a t-shirt design and a poster for a company who deals in firefighting equipment. She wants the t-shirt to be 'female', for the females of the company. She said I don't necessarily have to include the equipment in the design, but definitely have to have the company name. She did have some sort of idea first to create something which was based on the Charlie's Angels silhouette logo, with the ladies holding firefighting equipment, but then someone gave her a criticism that this might be too 'old'. Now she wants the design to be modern, female, and beautiful, and at least to relate to the firefighting equipment, or play on the company's name. She wants it to be something that people say "Wow!" and want to take it home with them (it will be offered as a gift). I've done a couple of rough sketches but I'm really unsure about them.
I'm saying all this because I'm really stuck. Everything she gives me is just so vague. I would just love to know what you would do in this situation? I want to know how to move forward, as I'm not that experienced. This seems like my hardest job yet!
Thanks for reading!
