As part of our professional practice we were given a workshop on going freelance in the industry and all the things we would have to take into consideration when dealing with clients. Here are some of the notes I took.
- In relation to the brief you need to understand all that the client is requesting for you to have any chance of producing a successful outcome.
- If anything is unclear or you feel the brief doesn't cover it, don't hesitate to ask for more information and make sure during your meeting with the client that you make accurate notes.
- Always base the sum of money you wish to charge them for the brief so far, because it is common for the client to add other elements to the project without any intention of paying for them.
- It helps to break down costs so both you and the client are familiar with how much for each stage you are either getting paid for or in relation to the client paying for. Plus it shows that you are professional, organization can go along way when it comes to getting/keeping clients.
- Consider a deposit with new clients before you start designing to aviod anyone ripping you off.
