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: 
<ul><li>Redesigning a book cover</li>
<li>Illustrating and designing a postcard</li>
<li>and Re-skinning a web app </li>
</ul>and tools 
<ul><li>Illustrator</li>
<li>Photoshop</li>
<li>iPad + Procreate  </li>
</ul>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:
<ul><li>Negotiating quotes </li>
<li>Providing contracts</li>
<li>Apologizing to clients</li>
<li>Skeletons/rough designs</li>
<li>Handling revisions and presenting iterations</li>
<li>Making decisions about fonts, color, and layout based on function instead of aesthetic</li>
<li>Balancing decision making with letting your client lead the way</li>
<li>Being flexible for different types of clients</li>
<li>File management</li>
<li>Asset Delivery</li>
<li>Time tracking</li>
<li>and more!</li>
</ul>See you in class! Oh, and feel free to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bydylanm/" target="blank">stop by my locker (... er Instagram</a>) to chat afterwards if you have time :)
