Ask questions, Ask more questions, and then Ask some more questions
- Who said your logo had to be your name?
- Who said the business card or letterhead had to be standard sizes?
- Who said the letterhead had to be single sided?
The most important part of any design project is the initial negotiation/conversation with the client. Making assumptions instead of asking questions can lead your design response down a road unnecessarily. There's nothing more wonderful than discovering - after questioning - that you client is giving you some creative freedom to design something extraordinary.

Business Names & Letterhead Design
As a freelance Graphic Designer it's important to provide a professional service to your clients. This means that you should know your area of business inside out and stay up-to-date with changes that effect your line of work.
Providing clients with business advice is sometimes necessary to prevent problems later on in the design process. For example start-ups aren't always aware of the legal obligations with with regard to stationary and occasionally even the company name. Developing long-term relationships with clients is important to your business, so giving clients great advice in the beginning is a fantastic way to cement the relationship early on.
