[@renegade2031]

Hey Abi, Since I stumbled on to your channel, I've gained alot from your videos. Just started a few months ago as a freelance designer. I started (and I admit) underselling my skills, but by watching your videos, I'm getting better at pricing myself accordingly.. I got this client who asked me to do 2 newspaper ads and a program for their lorry fair, and was promised free reigns on the design, which ended up been "the old way" at the end. But you have to listen to the client, and I did what they wanted. At the end Both me and the client were happy about the result. (ind the end that what count right?) Anyways, love your videos, you give me alot og insight stuff to think about and implement to myslef.. Thank a Billion

[@abiconnick]

Wow this is so great to hear! Hope your design journey continues to go well! Yes with client work sometimes you just have to do what they want as they are the ones paying. Really appreciate all the support and kind words, thank you 😊

Hi Abi, I have a question. If the client just wants a mascot for something like a softball team; would you recommend creating a whole branding proposal or just something quick for them?

Heyy Abi! Thnxs for the info, I was struggling and looking all over the net to make a proposal as I have recently taken my first freelance branding...I just have two doubts here 1. My project includes branding but also offering them a fully working landing page and providing social media templates..so does this all come under 1 category i.e branding? If not how to organize it 🤔 2. As I'm still a student n from India the price of the brand proposal is very high...can u give like a tiny discount 🥺👉👈

[@abiconnick]

Hey! This is great to hear, hope it's all going well! So you would organise like: branding, web design, design extras (social media) and explain the process of all 3. I only do discounts to the store once a year to ensure it's not over done! The sale will be in November, so you're more than welcome to wait until then! I wish you all the best!
