Inspirational & MDM525 Defining Clients Needs Assignment
First I must say a few words of “Gratitude”. I’m soooooooo very Grateful to be doing my MDMFA Grad’s Degree Program. I know I must sound very corny. So I accept being the corny girl but yet very creative. Defining Clients Needs is a part of this cool journey that’s my journey aka as Prosper’s Journey.
I have to be honest though because I’ve dealt with clients in the creative field for a while. I’m no stranger to the inner-and-outer workings of providing creative services to famous clients as well as giving free advice and direction to family, friends and associates.
With that being said, I really loved this class. I’m always open to learning something new in my craft and strenging my skills. That’s why I’m doing this degree. The three take-aways that resonated with me the most were:
One Margo Chase of The Chase Design Group. I appreciated seeing Margo’s design process when she re-branded Chinese Laundry. She was very thorough in her research; thoughtful in her design process and providing multiple resources.
Two Ina Saltz with her enthusiasm of typography and providing the science. I must say, I never contemplated typography at such a level before I seen her Lynda.com Tutorials. I can say I won’t go as deep as she does in the design process but I do have strong appreciation and will thoughtfully apply aesthetically what I learned in creatively and intellectually that makes sense to each individual project that I’m working on. I know it’s important as a layman and a professional.
Three Sean Adams is another favorite of mine. In fact, I wish I can meet him in real life; pick his brain and either work with him or shadow him on a few projects. There’s nothing like kinetically doing real work in real time. I know multi-dimensionally, I would get a lot out of it as well as provide talent and creative vision.
Four I also appreciated Nigel French’s presentation on creating and developing logos. His design process is very expansive and detailed. He creates a lot of options way before he presents his final top three ideas to his clients.
