It's Been a While

With this client I actually have a lack of information to work with. That's good in a creative sense because I basically do whatever I want. It makes the process take longer and makes it more challenging though. I'd prefer if they gave me a few of the basics like the specific copy they want on the flyer. I'm the designer, so it's not my place to determine the copy or to guess which promoters need to be mentioned for an event. For instance, in the case of the bottom flyer, I specifically asked what copy they wanted to include on there since it's a general ad and not a flyer for a specific event. I got no feedback until after my original design was submitted. That's when they told me they wanted that "glitterati & glam" copy on there. Things like this aren't a big deal to me, but I typically get the assignment a day or two before the deadline and things like that can throw the project behind schedule. With that being said, it's worth mentioning that I do design as a side job so I only get about 4 hours in front of my (home) computer on any given weekday to work on these jobs.

I know I've rambled on a bit in this reply, so I'll finish by saying that I'm happy to have the creative freedom that I have with this client and if given the choice between the circumstances I mentioned above or having plenty of time to work on a project and all of the necessary info as a tradeoff for creative freedom, I'd choose the creative freedom, lack of info, & tight deadlines in a heartbeat!
