As a web designer, the dream client is one that has their brand beautifully laid out by someone as talented as you. Keep it up!
Can you please please make a video on how to use specific tools on illustrator like the pen tool and the pencil tool? I am an aspiring designer and I struggle really hard with these tools, especially the pen tool and I cannot find anywhere where they explain in a beginner-friendly manner. I would realllllly appreciate it, I am sure a lot of others will too. Love your work so much, true inspiration x
I just want to say, as a graphic design student who wants to start taking clients and build my portfolio, THIS IS SO HELPFUL. I’ve always wanted to take clients and had no idea where to start 😵💫 I’m glad I stumbled upon this series and I can’t wait to take this info and put it into action!!
Yay glad I could help! Stay tuned for more 🤍

Thank you for the great work! Love to watch other designers work flows. I love that you research colors, typography sets and photography styles before designing a logo. That’s genius! I usually go in reversed way and sometimes it’s frustrates me and affects my decision making.
Yesss it's definitely a game changer! I used to do the same thing and it gives me WAY less decision paralysis 😂 Totally! I think everything should be considered holistically, parts are still bound to change of course but it definitely makes it a lot easier to design. Thanks for watching!

Question about mockups: when I export mockups, and try to add them to branding presentation for behance or for clients, they are so large that they become really weird in a 1400px wide presentation, so is there some guide that I can use to understand the sizing and resizing of mockups?
As a design student, I'm really confused about what files should I export and in what format like ai file or pngs? after completing the entire branding from logo variations to brand stationeries, merchandise n packaging etc... and as we use different fonts of different sizes and other design elements across all the like business cards, merch, clothing, packaging so what should I do so that my client could easily understand what size of fonts should be used for particular stuff example- for business cards, on packaging , tshirt etc
Absolutely! I totally understand where you're coming from. It can be difficult to figure out exactly what files to deliver to the client. Generally, you want to give them everything they need so they never have to bug you for files in the future.
The frustrating part is that every designer does this differently, there is no one set of file types to export, and every client will require different files. It also depends on the types of logos you have created for your client... (a wordmark vs a logo with a mascot might have different orientations).. so the process even changes then. It is a completely custom process for every project, all of my client logo folders are different.
Generally, I will organize each folder with the top layer being all of the orientations > then filetypes (AI, JPEG, PNG, PDF, SVG) and if there's a lot of different colours > I'll break down the colours. If it's a vector file, I only export one size. If it's a raster file, I'll export the same file - small, medium, and large size, with the size in the title of the logo.
Your job is not to worry about explaining the different sizes to the clients, you should explain what the file types are and the typical scenarios they would use them, but typically clients will not ask you what resolution file they should use - if they're working with a printer the printer will typically ask for vector files. If they're working with a designer, the designer will ask for vector files. If they're doing something themselves, they will probably try each file size until they find one that looks clear. 😂
May i ask how many hours you spend a month on pre-call work that do not lead to landing a client?
How do you go about any maintenance a brand might need? Like for example, updating and maintaining their website or creating additional collateral after the offboarding process?
We create a new contract and I create a new folder for each new project!
Omg.. She's damn pretty, this is for you❤!!
Where do you edit your video? Its amazing!!
I use Davinci - the free version! I used to use Premiere but it's so easy to use so I made the swap~
I’d like to get better at research and also making contracts
Great, thanks for the comment! New video on that coming soon 🫶✨
quick question.. not related to this video.. I visited your website while watching this video.. and I love how it is beautifully designed. I also see that you have gradients on your website. My question to make a long story short is.. 😅How did you implement beautiful gradients on your website?
Squarespace! They recently released an update that allows you to change the background to gradients of all sorts. Love it 🫶
@@gloriacondy cool cool.. I'm currently on the old Squarespace 7.0 and working on making the switch to the 7.1 version. I love gradients and I definitely will want to add that to the website to make it look a little snazzy 😅♥️💯 thanks for the reply.. really appreciate you
👍✨
I like your mug
Yay!! Me too!!
hello gloria you're very sweet and lovely for putting this out there but may i request a full stream walkthrough of a client project there really isn't just a full unedited stream type of video for making a brand design for a client
That’s a great idea! I’ll see what I can do 😊
