Post #7- Anthony Chan

Who was your client? Our Client was Aaron's parents since they owned a donut business and needed some sort of online presence.

How did you get your job? Aaron's parents needed an online presence and so we decided to help them create a little blog to help them along the way. We hoped that the website would help them get more customers and prosper.

Did you deal with the client directly? No, Aaron's parents were much to busy and the donut business requires them to be monitoring their business on an almost 24-hour basis.

Was there some sort of compensation? Yes, we were given CSL hours by her parents and a sweet amount of donuts for our work.

What was your role? I was one of the graphic designers responsible for making the Weebly orientated blog.

Did you act professionally? I never had a chance to contact his parents directly and so everything was done through a command chain process.

Did your client act professionally? Yes, they would inform Aaron of what they expected and he would dish out the work to be done and then we would all collaborate in completing said work.

Describe the work you did. Describe your creative process. We would begin with a simple concept of a certain idea and then work on a corresponding background then filling in the foreground with relevant information and pictorials.

How often did you communicate with your client? We had an almost daily communication since Aaron lives with the said client and he could update us on what needed to be done and also relay information back to his parents and seek their approval.

Did you have regular meetings to look over proofs or progress of work? No, we were left to our own discretion but we would peruse each others work to check for discrepancies.

Were you able to meet the deadline? Yes, we had considerable amount of time to complete our work and an adequate amount of work ethic.

What was the feedback from your client? Since they have no internet experience, our mostly unprofessional work was a godsent blessing to them.

Did your client require changes? No, they were quite happy with the effort and the time we put into creating their Weebly.

What was your favorite part working with the client? That Aaron seemed to be incharge so we never had to actually come up with anything ourselves and only had to listen to the ideas that he had and correspond that onto the computer.

What was your least favorite part working with the client? That we got free donuts because of how grateful they were for our help.

Would you do anything differently? No, We did fairly well and the process was easy to follow.
What did you learn from this experience? That many people like free help and would rather choose something for free even if it was a little poor in design than to pay for a legitimate service.
