Help! I'm A Graphic Designer!

Project Time
WHO IS IT FOR
Ooh, what are you going to create? A sick
website for a local business? An album cover
for your favorite band? An entire magazine
about dogs? Whatever it is, I’m sure it will
rock. Let’s get going, we’ve got ideas to
come up with and projects to make!
SCHOOL PROJECT
So, you’re a graphic design student who
just received their project brief from your
professor. Super exciting! Make sure
you take notes on all of your project
requirements, make a list of what you need
to get done, circle the deadline on your
calendar, and get going on researching!
CLIENT WORK
Whether it’s your first-ever freelance client
or your 24th, here are some key things to
include in your contract. Learn from my
mistakes and make sure to include these
so you don’t have a five-month-long
unresolved client project (what...no...I’m
not speaking from experience…)
