Ok, this isnt going to be everyones cup of tea but I have a VERY fussy client (my mother)
She doesnt really know what she wants but she knows what she doesnt like when she sees it.
A few years ago she used to run her own business then she got offered a full time position at a local company who have now made her redundant because they preferred hiring her as a private individual to do consultancy when they need it than as a full time employee (probably cheaper that way)
So she's relaunching her business and needs a shiny new website to go with it, so we need a logo, brand image and site design.
As she's so fussy and will reject designs without really being able to say why, my only option is to ask for designers who are up for it to come up with one ore more designs and a quote for each design (for design only and for design + build)
You must be able to provide the original graphics and source stock photos (with relevant copyright for the chosen applicant - not necessary at the 'pitch stage'). Please consider in your quote the costs of design tweaks - would like the price we choose to be the price we pay ;) (within reason - as I said, she's fussy)
Unlike my other projects, price is a factor here - though if theres a design she really likes thats outside her budget I'll probably foot the bill myself ;)
The logo has to be simple and look good in colour and black and white and at a variety of sizes
This is what she's said already
My current idea is to have the company name in distinctive type or
colour
and that becomes the logo. Some others I've seen have the name in large
type
and the 'consultancy' in small type underneath. Maybe an artisitc
squiggle
or something but I can't think of anything particularly relevant to the
business that hasn't already been used.
I don't need anything fancy or too big. I want something I can have on
my PC
and insert it on anything I produce like letterheads & reports.
I think something modern, professional with a feminine touch would be ideal for a general design overview.
Anyone who is interested in putting together some designs and quotes, please contact me and I will give more details about the company and requirements.
This is an ideal opportunity for those without a portfolio - the job goes to the person who comes up with the best design, regardless of experience and portfolio.
