It’s my first time designing for any one
Email sent:.
Hi [Client]! If you wouldn’t mind answering a few questions I need to know so I can communicate your brand better and have a better sight as to how you want the design 🙂
What does [Company Name] reflect (what’s the brands identity, why you chose [image company name evokes] etc.)
Who’s your ideal client for shop and e-liquid (target audience/who you ant to reach)
Who do you see as your e-liquids direct competitors
Please will you throw together a mood board of labels and images you like to give me a better feel for whats in your head
when you have the time
Cheers! Designer hat on Chloe

Thanks

I don’t think he understands the design process, and it’s unpaid — but I don’t want to design the whole e-liquid graphic range for nothing — it’s a lot of work.
How do I bring this up? how do I price? I’m a beginner/novice!
Any help appreciated.
Answer
-
Make a phone call. Do not use an e-mail for this interview.
You can’t even know if he is answering this questions or he is just mentioning some previous ideas he has.
-
If it is unpaid… do not do it. You are not only damaging yourself but the whole industry.
The “Oh, I’m new” is not a reason at all. Either you have practiced a lot and have become good at designing or don’t do it.
