Hopefully by now you’ve established your business, pitched your services, and found yourself a client/topic. You should also have created something/some things for your client. Keep in mind that when you are working for yourself, making good use of your time and being accountable to a client is important, so you are receiving marks for how productive you are and how well you seem to be using class time to accomplish your goals.

You should be creating products that would be useful to your client. You need to think about where your client would like to advertise/establish a presence, and what things would help them do that. You might also consider what their customers would want to buy or how they’d like to support the client.

This week I will reveal the information about your final project portfolio. It will require you to have all of the things above done completely and properly. You will also have to demonstrate all of the concepts that we’ve covered so far in your work, including:

• C.R.A.P. concepts
• Creative Commons/Copyright
• Colour choices
• Typography choices
• Illustrator logo design
• Seeking out feedback
• Revising your work and creating different versions
• Communicating with a client
• Creating products that are useful to your client

These are the things that you should be paying attention to as we move forward. If you’ve missed any of these steps, want feedback on your work, or just need to create more products, this is the time to do so!
