What i've learned, 'Jukebox'.


From these short bursts of live briefs I am learning how
difficult it is to know how to ask the right questions.
I'm also learning how important it is to ask them quickly.
When you aren't sure what the client wants you need to

find out as soon as possible, especially when you're not 
getting paid- it is distracting me from my graded work.


update:
- that was possible the worst experience with a client I 
have ever had.  It can't be solely their fault so I need to
accept some of the responsibility that it was partially
my fault that it didn't run so smoothly.  I didn't understand
what they were about.  Or what they wanted at all.
I tried to get information out of them but it was futile.
They had an image of what they wanted in their head and 
were not budging.

Who am I? Self Promotion

We were asked to design a business card (of which i've 
already done hundreds of different variations- of course), 
along with a piece of promotional material that best 
describes us as designers.

My aim is to create something that is ultimately
going to shock everyone.  It needs to obviously 
communicate me as a designer, however, this can
be clarified visually rather than me spelling it 
out for the viewer.

So, the beginnings of:


 

My first job was to try and identify exactly what
should be on my business card and promotional 
item.  As above, I justified my name being most
important within the visual heirarchy of both 
because the design should say exactly what kind 
of designer I am and solutions I produce.
My name and website are close within the heirarchy.
