What kind of questions do you like to ask your clients when starting off a branding project or any project?

Wowwww. I normally did the same thing of screenshotting to see if they like it before buying but didn't even know I could trace the image for more flexibility! Thanks for sharing.

I love watching other designers design. That's a good trick of image tracing the fonts before the client approves. I usually look for a free demo version. How do you remember which font you picked for that particular logo?

Thank you for the great video! I love your designs :) What kind of tools do I need to learn to become a graphic designer? Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Procreate? Is this enough to run a own business?

@MeganWeeks 3 жыл бұрын

Thank youuuu! I would say that Adobe creative suite is really great to have and those 3 are perfect to start with. I actually only started with photoshop about 6 years ago and then learned illustrator later but it is now my favorite

Hi Megan. I LOVE your videos! Quick question? When you purchase the font file. Do you take this into consideration in your final cost or do you just consider it a purchase tool for your own library?

hi thank you for watching! this video was filmed a long time ago for me in my business now I have the clients buy the font license so it is under their name!

When downloading a font, can you purchase a font say like from dafont, its okay to create that logo and send a client that logo?

@MeganWeeks 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can use it for a logo if you buy the correct font license. I typically send font files to client too.

What do you do to bring the procreate design into illustrator? Do you then have to image trace it?

@MeganWeeks 3 жыл бұрын

I either bring it into photoshop as a psd and edit the element there or airdrop it as a png and image trace in illustrator.

@krystle8090 2 жыл бұрын

rather than just "going for it" and immediately diving into illustrator for logo design, i prefer to do a lot of research into what the company's tone will be and make a lot of sketches in my sketchbook. when i dive right into digital programs such as illustrator, its easy to just pick the first thing that you make on the screen and call it a day. everyone has a different way of doing things, but i would HIGHLY recommend staying away from the digital realm when brainstorming, and just take that time to grab a pencil+paper and start sketching a lot of your ideas out (just some advice for anyone who is starting graphic design!)

@barbarazamorano60 2 жыл бұрын

This!!! as a professional graphic designer myself it surprised me when she said "just go for it"... I'm used to doing a lot of research beforehand, choosing concepts and tones, the company vision/mission, their target, I even study their competitors (their logos, their color preferences, their fonts, etc. in order to create something that's notoriously different so that it is unique to the brand that I'm working for)... I believe that as graphic designers we're not supposed to design for the aesthetics, instead I think that we're supposed to design with the intent of communicating concepts through images (images as in: illustrations/fonts/color choices, etc.). I 100% agree with you that staying away from the digital realm when brainstorming is better 🙌🏽or else you end up with a logo that looks just like a bunch of other cute aesthetic logos that you can find on pinterest
