Recently I was assigned a big project, creating raffle tickets for a prayer breakfast.  First the client wanted the measurement of the ticket to be 5.5×2.75.  I sent a proof and she approved it but days later she told be that the measurement was suppose to be 4.5×4.5 dimension.  What i don’t get is that I have sent her a proof.  She confirmed it and i already send it over to the print shop. Now because of her mistakes I would have to call the print shop to stop the job, correct the design and send it back.  It was just a total mess.  Plus there was a huge language barrier and i couldnt fully understand her.

Throughout this assignment, I got frustrated trying to figure out what the client was looking for. I believe there was a huge miscommunication between the lack of information provided and trying to figure out how the finishing product should look like. As a designer,  it is my job to take information/ and design it in a way that it communicates a message to a certain type of audience but I am not able to do so if I do not fully understand the client.
