    What kind of questions do you like to ask your clients when starting off a branding project or any project?

    I have been studying graphic design for the last 6 months and your videos are my favorite so far!🤩I love your flow and the way you design. Very tangible and relatable! I’m looking forward to watching more of your content xo

    I love watching other designers design. That's a good trick of image tracing the fonts before the client approves. I usually look for a free demo version. How do you remember which font you picked for that particular logo?

    rather than just "going for it" and immediately diving into illustrator for logo design, i prefer to do a lot of research into what the company's tone will be and make a lot of sketches in my sketchbook. when i dive right into digital programs such as illustrator, its easy to just pick the first thing that you make on the screen and call it a day. everyone has a different way of doing things, but i would HIGHLY recommend staying away from the digital realm when brainstorming, and just take that time to grab a pencil+paper and start sketching a lot of your ideas out (just some advice for anyone who is starting graphic design!)

    • @barbarazamorano60
      @barbarazamorano60 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This!!! as a professional graphic designer myself it surprised me when she said "just go for it"... I'm used to doing a lot of research beforehand, choosing concepts and tones, the company vision/mission, their target, I even study their competitors (their logos, their color preferences, their fonts, etc. in order to create something that's notoriously different so that it is unique to the brand that I'm working for)... I believe that as graphic designers we're not supposed to design for the aesthetics, instead I think that we're supposed to design with the intent of communicating concepts through images (images as in: illustrations/fonts/color choices, etc.). I 100% agree with you that staying away from the digital realm when brainstorming is better 🙌🏽or else you end up with a logo that looks just like a bunch of other cute aesthetic logos that you can find on pinterest

    Hi Megan. I LOVE your videos! Quick question? When you purchase the font file. Do you take this into consideration in your final cost or do you just consider it a purchase tool for your own library?

    When downloading a font, can you purchase a font say like from dafont, its okay to create that logo and send a client that logo?

    • @MeganWeeks
      @MeganWeeks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you can use it for a logo if you buy the correct font license. I typically send font files to client too.

      I either bring it into photoshop as a psd and edit the element there or airdrop it as a png and image trace in illustrator.
