I'm an illustrator too and know how much something like that can suck, but don't let it get you down!

If you've been in the business for a while it's bound to happen once or twice where a client is not happy. And many times they hire an illustrator thinking that person can conform to any style or situation which always irks me. I want an art director or designer to use me for my special talents and touches and if I were hiring you I would have been very happy with the piece you turned in. It looks to me like a good fit for the job and I'd be happy if I was the client with your final piece, but who knows what they were thinking. Don't get down on yourself Martha. The fact that you care so much about the work you do is a wonderful thing. You'll go on to make many many clients happy. You can only learn from these types of experiences about the questions to ask and sometimes I even ask a client what pieces of mine they like in particular that they feel make me perfect for the job. That usually steers me in the right direction, but sometimes you can never please a client either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258309083431293376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29781686.post-22501387647683425342007-09-09T11:04:00.000-07:002007-09-09T11:04:00.000-07:00Hi Martha! first time in your blog...

Sometimes things go smooth especially when they have a rough sketch but more often than not the job is doomed from the start because of those preconceived ideas. When in doubt I pick up the phone and call. In your case I'm sure things were different. I missed your party last month. Are you guys having a holiday party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
