Course Description

Overview

In this Skillshare class I take you behind the scenes of three real client projects from initial email to final delivery! Unlike my past classes where I focus in on a specific tool or skill set, this class is focused on the process of working with a client to complete a project, though fear not, I do talk about the tools I’m using along the way. I’ll go through both a range of projects: 

  • Redesigning a book cover
  • Illustrating and designing a postcard
  • and Re-skinning a web app 

and tools 

  • Illustrator
  • Photoshop
  • iPad + Procreate  

It’s one thing to learn the technical skills to complete the work for a project, but it’s quite another to learn how to manage the whole project. Take this as your chance to intern or shadow a designer (me!), right from your computer. Some of the things we’ll touch on are:

  • Negotiating quotes 
  • Providing contracts
  • Apologizing to clients
  • Skeletons/rough designs
  • Handling revisions and presenting iterations
  • Making decisions about fonts, color, and layout based on function instead of aesthetic
  • Balancing decision making with letting your client lead the way
  • Being flexible for different types of clients
  • File management
  • Asset Delivery
  • Time tracking
  • and more!

See you in class! Oh, and feel free to stop by my locker (... er Instagram) to chat afterwards if you have time :)
