Proposed Logo/Website Design




Here is a project I was working on which, unfortunately didn't quite get off the ground. I proposed this logo and website, but the client wanted to stick with his old setup. If you are a designer, you know how difficult it can be to sell a client on a new creative direction. I've found that, "Selling" your ideas can be the hardest part of freelance design especially when the client is unsure about what he/she wants. Looking back, I should have probably given the client more options(more comps!), but I got ahead of myself. Lack of communication? Maybe. Indecisive client? That could also be the case. I learned that no matter how excited you are about a project, touch base with the client often to make sure you aren't doing more work than necessary.

Even though it wasn't approved, I still am proud of the concept. Which I guess is why im posting it for everyone to see.

Intro

I've created this blog to open a portal into my creative mind. I will be posting things that inspire me, new projects and anything else that strikes me. Hope everyone enjoys and don't forget to take a gander at my design website zhoffner.com.
