Client communication

 What you chatting?

So obviously there's a necessity in talking with your client otherwise you won't know anything about what your making or you might not even get anything made! There's a semblance of requirement about it though because it makes sure that you can keep up with what the client wants to get out of your production and how important it is that some elements are used when doing so.

So throughout the posts I have done so far (and possibly some future ones too.) I have brought up the idea of client communication and how I have used it to make sure that they get the most out of their budgets and commission possible so below are a few screenshots of the communication where I talk about a few details on the app itself as well as a screenshot of the moodboard that I used in order to intro the initial concept idea and what was contained within the meeting itself.

   

Initial Pitch meeting (Screenshot and bullet-points)

• Meeting starts
• Discussion about the moodboard and the meanings behind each shot and how they relate to the commission and brief
• Begin explanation of Idea 1
• End explanation of Idea 1
• Begin explanation of Idea 2
• End explanation of Idea 2
• Feedback based on explanations- Too general and up in the air, nothing concrete or solid for proof of concept (for example terminology 'I'm going to do X that leads into Y"), Bit of a mess and haphazard with a lot of noise going on around them. Need to bring it down and get something solid in place for a single concept that reaches mark.
• Discussion afterwards in budgeting (roughly) for both concepts at roughly the same price and how achievable and looking is it for the client
• Quick summary of everything discussed and what they want to see.
• Meeting end.

Hopefully this gives you some context behind the references to the client info that I have mentioned in posts and maybe given a bit of an image as to how important this idea of communication is with the client.

Have a great day!
