Post #8 - Alan Leung
Who was your client?
Our client was my Dad, Arthur Leung.
How did you get your job?
I asked him for the job and since he is the manager, he is fine with letting us experiment with the company. He used to have my sister when she was in high school to work with him so he was fine and wanted to see what I could do.
Did you deal with the client directly?
Yes, I sometimes talk to him about it at home. He usually wants to know how to project is going and says teases that I'll do a bad job.
Was there some sort of compensation?
No, just experience.
What was your role?
I was the person who brought information to our group in what my dad wanted us to do. I also did the corporate identities.
Did you act professionally?
Not really since he's my dad, but the rest of the team did.
Did your client act professionally?
Not really, other than when he was assigning me the work.
Describe the work you did.
I did the corporate identity. It showed how their company card, letter, envelope, etc would look like.
Describe your creative process.
I took their logo and incorporated into the items. Then I put a contrast between the background and the actual items to highlight contrast in the picture.
How often did you communicate with your client?
Often, since I see him at home all the time. However, we talked about the project a few times only.
Did you have regular meetings to look over proofs or progress of work?
We just critic each others work while working on it.
Were you able to meet the deadline?
We finished before the deadline so yes.
What was the feedback from your client?
Not bad, but could be better. He said it was not bad for me, but we're on our way to make it look professional.
Did your client require changes?
He suggested what we could of done differently but did not require changes.
What was your favorite part working with the client?
He wasn't that extreme, provided feedback, and was honest.
What was your least favorite part working with the client?
Him picking on my work.
Would you do anything differently?
Emphasize less on the logo and try to incorporate the logo without using the logo.
What did you learn from this experience?
That there can always be different ways to do the corporate identity and I can imply the company without using the logo.

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.

Who was your client?
Aaron’s parents Joanne and Leng Ly were our clients.
How did you get your job?
Aaron asked his parents and they agreed to give us jobs to perform.
Did you deal with the client directly?
Unlike our first client project, we did not directly communicate with our client. This time, Aaron was the one who communicated with his parents and directly told us what to do for the website.
Was there some sort of compensation?
The compensation was 3 hours of community service.
What was your role?
My role was to design the Start- Up page for the website.
Did you act professionally?
We worked professionally on the website but had a bit of fun on it since his parents said we could put anything on as long as it wasn’t illegal or would insult anyone.
Did your client act professionally?
They were serious and professional in making sure we had their specific instructions but were lenient on the other “fun” areas we did.
Describe the work you did.
My job was to create the start-up page; the page that people look at when they first open the website. I made a short introduction to appeal the customers in and then posts some donut puns.
Describe your creative process.
I made the start-up page a poem like introduction as I took inspiration from the Willy Wonka Nerds candy. They have a poem on the back of their product which I took inspiration from. Also, I did the punny pictures to create an environment of happiness.
How often did you communicate with your client?
Not often, only Aaron really communicated with them.
Did you have regular meetings to look over proofs or progress of work?
No, but we did overlook each other works to correct and offer better solutions to the each other in order to make the website better.
Were you able to meet the deadline?
Yes, we were able to meet the deadline.
What was the feedback from your client?
They said they found the website funny and they liked how clear the images were.
Did your client require changes?
No, they found the website suitable and are currently using it as their official website as they really liked it.
What was your favorite part working with the client?
The communication that we had provided us with more freedom. This let us have more creative ideas and it provided us me an experience of working with limited information.
What was your least favorite part working with the client?
My least favorite part was the lack of information the client provided us. They really did not have much specific things they wanted us to do but I still enjoyed making the website.
Would you do anything differently?
Yes, I would probably ask for more information to implent as the website is a bit lacking in information. Furthermore, it can probably have an entire change in background.
What did you learn from this experience?
I learned that with less communication, I could do more with the website. I had more freedom to do what I wanted and thus, lead me to do more things I wanted on the website. This, to me, is actually a very effective way to work and I found I prefer this method over the constant meetings that we had with Anthony’s parents.
