</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTJf6yElWkG9pPjAGzjAJSB4_wAaGq2sK9i84jvl1V53vmNd1QgUkL_-x89KbQdQIlsXkou86UaKLAkANBeYw_Bki2eVgZWPcYBM17U0oh-H0A5KBCm8kW3PhivHhCLUQ0dgF3u964cFf/s1600/stand-by.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkTJf6yElWkG9pPjAGzjAJSB4_wAaGq2sK9i84jvl1V53vmNd1QgUkL_-x89KbQdQIlsXkou86UaKLAkANBeYw_Bki2eVgZWPcYBM17U0oh-H0A5KBCm8kW3PhivHhCLUQ0dgF3u964cFf/s320/stand-by.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">A lot of creatives are increasingly frustrated by clients who have little or no experience with the industry. Hence sites like <a href="http://clientsfromhell.net/">clientsfromhell.net</a>. I wanted to write a few responses to common client statements that may help clear up some issues. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">1. Thanks for this awesome new brand and logo you helped us create. We'll pay you when we start using it. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If you bought a new car, you wouldn't say to the dealership, "I'm going away for 3 months so I'll start paying for the car when I start driving it". It's important to think of design in terms of tangibles like this. It will help you understand that <b>time is money</b>. A great example of the work that goes into making a brand is <a href="http://imjustcreative.com/logo-process-aws-consultancy-logo-design/2011/04/01/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">2. If you do it for free, it will lead to great exposure and paid jobs down the line. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Recently I had a very large record label contact me after I placed an ad on Craig's List. My rates were clearly listed in the ad, yet they still proposed I do it for free. They then explained that they had gotten someone to do it for free previously who had ruined the job, so now they wanted a professional to do it....for free. You get what you pay for. I've also NEVER FOUND THE ABOVE STATEMENT TO BE TRUE. No job I've ever done for free has led to any paid work. I've gotten a couple of gems for my portfolio but I could have obtained them by doing personal projects. I'm more than happy to do pro-bono work for legitimate charities, but if you have a business, you have no excuses. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">3. Your rates are too high. I'll get my nephew/cousin/son to do it in <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html" target="_blank">Photoshop</a>.</div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It's like a murderer waiving his right to a defense attorney and representing himself. There is so much that goes into a logo, not to mention an entire corporate identity, from conception to printing various materials, that little Mikey isn't going to know. Again, <a href="http://imjustcreative.com/logo-process-aws-consultancy-logo-design/2011/04/01/" target="_blank">click here for an example of a logo process</a>. If you own a small cafe and decide you would like a clean, professional brand and logo, you should be looking at it as an investment into your business. Great design suggests trust and longevity and will result in more sales. I wouldn't go to your store and say, "Why would I buy this muffin when I could just make it myself"? Because if I make it myself it won't be as tasty, as pretty and as easy. You're an expert at making muffins so why would I think I could do the same thing at home with little or no experience?</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">4. I don't like it, so I'm not paying.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">For this one, I tend to use the example of landscape gardening. They come to your home, spend a few weeks designing and renovating your yard. At the end, you walk out, say you don't like it, then refuse to pay. Despite the fact that everything they've done to your yard has been at your bequest and you've constantly communicated. They have worked hours researching, planning, buying, planting and trimming. Yet, you refuse to pay. This simply would not happen, unless I suppose the client was an exceptionally horrible person willing to be sued by a landscaping company. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">5. I'm not signing a contract just to get a logo. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Contracts can be a bit scary but almost no one does business without one. Every time you upgrade something on your computer/phone/game system you must 'agree to the terms and conditions'. Telecom companies sell mobile phones on contracts. A lot of electronics stores make you sign a contract if you are purchasing something where you pay it out over time. You sign a contract to get a bank account or a driver's license. Hiring a graphic designer is a business to business situation. Contracts are inevitable. Don't be scared and ask lots of questions. I myself have a plain language legal contract that takes a lot of the fear out. Nevertheless, this is where people tend to halt proceedings. The contract is to protect us both. It also binds me to doing the work for you under the agreed-upon terms. If you try to hire a freelancer, firm or enlist someone from a website to do your design work who doesn't have a contract of some sort, you should be a little nervous about hiring them. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">6. I don't need a logo. I made this myself in Word.</div><br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Then your logo likely ends up in places like this: <a href="http://yourlogomakesmebarf.com/">http://yourlogomakesmebarf.com/.</a></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Sometimes, a person with no design experience can knock up a great design that actually helps their business. However, they almost never create that logo, or use it, correctly. A bad logo or bad application of one can harm your business. I once refused to go into a cafe because it had the world's ugliest logo. One of my friends made me go in with her and I ended up being a regular. I thought, based on the logo, that the quality of the food inside must be terrible. It turned out the food was great and the owners and I became friends. Nevertheless, this is a good example of how a logo can create a bad image for your business. A great logo suggests you care about what you're doing and about the products or services you are putting out to the public. A good first impression is vital.<br />
<br />
7. I'll just go to one of those $99 logo sites.<br />
<br />
Once again, you get what you pay for. What they don't tell you at these sites is that your logo is not your own. Many other people could be using the same logo, under a different name. They also use clip-art (common images that are free to use but are of low quality) to create your 'logo'. You might get something you're happy with but that could cause problems down the line. Especially if your logo ends up being a stolen design, one that could lead to big financial heartache in the future. Be careful about using sights like<a href="http://www.freelancer.com/" target="_blank"> Freelancer.com</a> as well, for the above reasons and more. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I hope this will help you understand why hiring a proper graphic designer is important. Your business is likely your dream, so why short change it? </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">You can get a basic logo package for around $1000 from reasonably experienced freelance designers. Logos cost from around $1000 to $500,000+ for big brands (Pepsi's re-branding cost around $1 million while ANZ splashed out paying $15 million for theirs). A lot of designers will negotiate with you. However, be cautious when haggling for a cheaper rate. Remember to think about it in terms of your own business. You wouldn't want someone to offer you an insultingly low price for your product or service either. Design or advertising firms almost always cost more, but they also have a lot more resources. The most important thing to remember is, it's not one size fits all. Shop around and find the best fit. Good luck! </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">We all spend countless hours these days on the internet. Whether it’s for business or pleasure, almost every human being in the Western world now logs on to something, somewhere. The Internet has taken our world into a new age. Not only an age of social media and endless information, of LOLCats and double rainbows. This is the time of the new curators. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of my favorite things about the natural growth of social networking is how human beings continue to develop and grow their presence and ideas across various websites. I noticed the other day that my Uncle in Texas, who doesn’t really use Facebook the way we young folks do, had started posting nothing but music videos from Youtube on his page. He would do a series on German Folk Artists, then move on to Country Music of the 1960’s and 1970’s and at the moment, he’s into good old Rock n’Roll of the 80’s and 90’s. What I realized was this: my Uncle was curating an online exhibition of music. With just some copy and pasting, he had created entire collections of songs complete with commentary or memories associated with them. Once the idea sprung inside my head, I began to realize that there were many more online curators in my networks. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">A friend of mine who is heavily involved with community radio, and a great presenter, started a “Song of the Day” collective on his personal Facebook page. It opened me up to an entire new world of music and artists I would have never discovered otherwise. His research, dedication and pure taste in the tracks he posts are a real treat. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tons of people have Twitter streams or Digg accounts where they curate links on an huge range of topics. Tumblr is a photo communal. Blogger, and other blog sites, showcase not only people’s online journals and musings, but house digital mini-museums full of great material sourced from all over the web. Myspace boasts various obsessive and eclectic collectors of all ages and backgrounds. Flickr is a constant source of wonder to me, and there are many online collections to peruse. In fact, there are people who use Flickr simply to curate groups of beloved finds. Etsy is a brilliant website where creatives sell handmade goods in their own personal shops and those items are added to collections by staff and users. They even have a link on the side of the page to their Treasury (curated lists). </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">A journalist I know harbors a somewhat secret obsession with Zooanthropomorphism, a fantasy condition where creatures have human bodies and animal heads. This photo album is stunning and haunting. She’s sourced images from a large range of creatives to build her online exhibition, which constantly grows and changes. I’m always surprised at the appeal it has across the varied list of friends who view it. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">I suppose in a way, no matter what we do online, we’re curating our own lives. Facebook is an online cabinet of curiosities, containing bits and pieces of your life including all your friends, family, info, photos, mementos, etc. Add all your other networks to that, and it’s one hell of an exhibition. Make it a good one! </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div align="right"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">I was asked to design a portfolio for the <a href="http://www.savourtasmania.com.au/">2009 Savour Tasmania event,</a> in which famous chefs from Australia and around the world gathered to share cooking with professionals and laymen alike. </span></div><br />
<div align="right"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"></span></div><br />
<div align="right"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">The book was easy to design with a set of colours/fonts/logo already laid out by another designer. Not to mention there were some of the best photos I've ever seen to use in various ways within the portfolio. The use of these items was my idea and I wanted it to have a magazine look. </span></div><br />
<div align="right"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;"></span></div><br />
<div align="right"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 85%;">I was limited in my design for the contents page, a favourite page of mine in any publication, so that was a bit disappointing. However, most of the book I was able to finish without much design commentary from others. I'm still in the process of trying to get it printed correctly but here are some shots of the book in proof form.</span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;"></span></div><div align="right"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 85%;">I'll post better images soon created from the design file rather than photographed. </span></div><br />

Apart from the document not having a silver foil cover due to budgeting issues, it's perfect! </i></span></span><br />
