Feedback-warning for designers (not the first time, I tried to be brief, it's impossible to describe everything).

The client is very complicated, completely not understanding what a technical task (TT) is, how to write it and why it is needed, although according to his activities he should know this at a professional level. The TT is unclear, incomplete, written in the form of a draft, as if for himself, like - do it, then we will figure it out and change it in the process.

The texts are "dirty," inconsistent, you have to extract and form them yourself, and that's if you understand what is written by hand or drawn in a complex scheme-puzzle.

All materials and edits are provided with delays and in the form of "garbage" (I apologize, this is the most accurate thing I can write) on the principle that the designer will find it himself, guess, apply his telepathic abilities, decipher and figure it out.

Deadlines - the meaning of this word is also not understood. He emphasized several times that the deadlines are !20 days, but in fact, after the main deadline, there were still no materials for a third of the catalog and many gaps in what was done. After almost 50 days (with the agreed 20), the client was still changing texts and providing new photos...

In response to my comments regarding the incomplete TT or edits, I was told that he "doesn't have time for this," that I should "put in more effort," and that I am doing "bad design" and he had a queue of designers for this work... how convenient... He completely does not understand that by writing a TT and providing proper materials for work, he saves time not only for me but also for himself.

The project description also does not match the scope of work. I cannot recommend collaborating, it's some unpleasant long-term quest, not work.

Thank you for the work. Clear and understandable project brief, instant communication, and payment. The client knows exactly what they want and conveys it very accessibly and easily! I recommend collaborating!

Interesting project, maximum effective collaboration. Constructive communication, adjustments on the substance and with explanations. Honest payment immediately after the transfer of the source files. Thank you for the project. I will be happy to collaborate!

As part of the project, a pattern for embossing on the notebook cover needed to be developed. The client provided references and a clear technical specification. However, after the first submission, Oleg changed the theme of the technical specification: instead of abstract geometric shapes, I worked with botany, retro, and polygonal graphics. A total of 8 patterns were developed for the project, and 4 of them will be used. I think this is a great result! Thank you for the project!

I was pleased to do this job. Oleg set a very clear task that was easy to complete, adhered to all agreements, responded quickly, and also quickly accepted the work. I recommend for cooperation, I myself will not refuse cooperation in the future. Thank you very much.

I was careless in working with this customer: I highly do not recommend cooperation, a rare boredom, it is unclear what he wants, very bad feedback, an incredible number of edits. In addition, the customer offered to participate in the continuation of the project, I agreed and when whole sheets of edits were sent to one page of the catalog, refused to cooperate, and Oleg did not pay for the project. One example of the edits below is:
reversal p. 20 - 21
1. image on p. 20 please center within the space under the photo on the template, so that the fields to the left of the edge of the directory page to the edge of the diary and the right of the diary to the text were the same.
I understand that the dimensions of the catalog page on the layout are post-cut dimensions (207x207mm), am I wrong? If the layout has post-cut dimensions, the field on p. 21 between the image of the diary and the edge of the page is good, if the layout is pre-cut dimensions, it is necessary to increase the field by 3 mm.
2. on p.20 I ask after the word "bookends" to put a comma.Str. of Str.22 to 23
Please go to page 3.22 discentrate the image of the Diary B6, so that distances from the edge of the page to the Diary image and from the Diary image to the text are the same.Per you need to slightly lower the image of the B6 diary to visually separate it from the upper image.Please look at your judgment.and 4.You may need to focus the image on the page.23 on the horizon.Please check distances from the image to the text and the end of the page.In addition, it is possible that the image will look better if the image of the storage is compared to the right edge of the development of the diary.It is on your judgment.Str. of Str.24 to 25
5 on the page.24 in the description of the planing the word "forzaci" to be replaced by the word "forzaci".6 on the page.24 images of a weekly B5 increase by 105-110%.7 on the page.25 images of the A5 diary on the line to rise up, and the image of its cover to move down.8 on the page.25 reduce the image of the A6 diary to 75-80% of the size of the A5 diary on the same page (by the width of the layout).
9. Move diary description text A6 down (Size ....) to align it on a horizontal line with the corresponding description of the weekly B5 on p.24. Perhaps it would be better if the name "Diary A6 undated" to write in 2 lines - this is at your discretion.
10. Please center all images horizontally between the text and the edge of the catalog page.

I will write comments on turning the pages with notebooks in the following message.
