Winning Clients Over
Why are some creatives worth more than others?
Design jobs are hard for some clients to process. An engineer shows plans. An artisan shows a product. You are selling... your-really-good-at-thinking-of-ideas brain?
Believe it or not, your ideas are worth money.
Creative entrepreneurs have a hard battle to fight before they can win the job. You can produce amazing work and you have to learn to show and tell your clients how you can do this for them.
Show clients you are the expert.
Stop feeling intimidated to prove yourself, and learn how to win over the big clients. In this lecture, Chris Do will give you the tools learned in his 20+ years of experience to do just that.

Who is this for?
05
This course is for any designer looking to understand type to improve their layout and design skills.
I learned more about typography in this course than during my BA in graphic design. This gives me confidence that I can make effective layouts and better design of any kind. I also felt I was part of a community, who learned together. Once a week for seven weeks, Chris critiqued our submitted layouts and this motivated us to put knowledge into practice and submit our work. This course is the best investment I've made in myself in becoming a better graphic designer. And I've invested in a lot of courses and books.
