Thank God for great friends. This freelance job came into being for me because a friend of mine talked me up to someone she met at work and that someone actually went online to check out my portfolio. I hope to soon develop a strong working relationship with Rachael and her great web design company, Dream Catchers Web Design. The below design is for one of Rachael's clients who teaches music lessons. The deal was for a simple "turn this sketch into something digital" project.
Here's their original sketch with the progression of my rendered designs. The vector designs were created in illustrator CS6. Not much special stuff in there, but I think it's a pretty good rendering from the solid directions Rachael passed along from her client and from the sketch.
But I can't leave well enough alone. Below is a super rough sketch I haven't shown to the client yet. We made a deal for a simple (cheap) rendering of their sketch, but while I was watching TV one evening I sketched out an idea or two - the most successful of which is below. I was thinking if the client was looking for something that might work better as a logo, then something like the below may make her happier in the long run. Lots of kinks to work out in the sketch, but the basic idea is there. Would love to talk her into something a tad more simple - the multiple requirements for the design (include the microphone, the bass guitar and the music) make for a fun design challenge, but if it's shrunk down, as logos often are, she may not be as in love with it.
Update on this job - the client decided that they didn't want to go this route, so these ideas never quite made it into the computer.
