Here There Be Dragons! Dealing with Nightmare Clients & Challenges As A Freelance Designer
In the great fantastic world of design, professionals are like knights, claiming prizes and rewards while fighting fierce dragons and vanquishing evil foes.
At least, we think ourselves kin to the great knights of old. In many ways, we may be correct.
While we may not be Knights of the Round Table or regularly hold Court with King Arthur, we deal with many challenges as they would. The difference is our enemies are time and budget, and our dragons are challenges we face. The challenges are not only with producing an excellent product, but producing any product within the time allotted.
Most specifically though, many of our battles are fought with clients who hold little or no knowledge of what they want, or how to communicate it.
Many times we deal with clients who are ignorant of the way web or print works, and say so outright, negating the need for designers to find out the hard way.
However, there is always that small element that believes they know everything about design and web. These are the clients we fear to deal with, and the ones we avoid if we can.
Unfortunately we sometimes find ourselves caught in a web of deception and miscommunication, and it makes any project or assignment nearly impossible to either navigate or accomplish. There are five things we can use to keep from the webs and shed light upon any possible problems we might encounter with a client.

But Where Have All the Clients Gone? How To Get More New Freelance Design & Development Work
If you’re a freelance designer or developer in 2012, you’ll recognise that smell in the air. You know, the one that smells a lot like fear. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro, the issue of clients, sales and good old moola rolling in is probably one that dictates a lot of your daily activities. You might have given up the comfortable day job with its little perks and reassuring monotony, to strike out on your own, be your own boss, set your own hours and endless cups of tea/coffee (insert favourite beverage here) etc. You may well have envisioned an easier, less stressful (and shorter) working day, one that involved lounging around in your tacky comfortable clothes, your favourite music blasting from the speakers and a smug look on your face. Except you didn’t quite bet on the fact that the clients aren’t exactly knocking down your door, did you?
The old adage of “Built it, and they will come” certainly doesn’t apply to any freelancer I know. It’s a natural state of play these days. For every great idea/concept/service/product out there on the web today (and indeed, in many industries) it is always swiftly followed by a barrage of knock-offs, rip-offs, copycats, grasscutters and undercutters. There is always someone out there willing to do it cheaper and faster (so they say) than you. If you did your research before setting out as a freelancer, you would have no doubt come across the many ‘freelance’ sites out there where you can *shudder* bid for a design project or contract, and the job is often handed out to the one who will do it for the cheapest. If you’re hoping to make it as a freelancer these days, you’ve certainly got a lot to compete with especially as outsourcing becomes ever more popular. The talent pool has invariably widened as more and more people turn to the web for their income.

Amazing & Clever Examples of Alternative Movie Poster Design
Everyone loves movies. As designers, we tend to love the movie posters that come along with those movies as well. What I tend to love more than the actual movie posters, are ALTERNATE Movie posters! These are creative artworks made by pretty much anyone who wants to – that depict a different poster of the movie based on the story of the movie or a piece of the movie that they felt sums up the movie. These things get really clever, and beautiful – so I hope they inspire you to do something similar, or inspire you to do something different with the design you are working on. Hope you enjoy!
