Hi Oscar, I use mind-mapping to help me focus on keywords around a specific niche / topic. They help lead my mind in directions I may not have gone otherwise.

Hello.

Great work David, always read about your articles, those are very good. Let me ask you. What is the reason you use the midmapping to conceptualize your logo designs. I’m a Graphic Designer from Colombia and I would like to know how to maximise my work in the process like Designer.

No worries at all, Luke. Similarities are bound to occur with simple logos.

Hi David,
Thanks for sharing your working methods, it’s very instructive for me, working as a web designer but inevitable asked to ‘come up with a logo’. As pointed out by Yury above, it seems with simplicity comes the problem of potential repetition; I was asked by a client to come with a logo for japanwordservices.com as a result of our mutual ideas and discussion ended up with a very similar result to #2.
Before I read this post, I swear!

Thanks David,

I’m thinking I need to start doing that. I know if I were seeking a designer, testimonials would be very encouraging.

Matt,

I do indeed ask for testimonials, always at the end of the project, once I’m fairly sure I can do no more to help. The question is straightforward, “Would you mind offering a few thoughts for my client testimonials page?”

I hope that helps.

David,

Do you ask your clients for testimonials? If so, when and how do you do it?

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your design process along with the actual finished product. I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts, and when you get to see the process behind the work that you create it provides a good deal of inspiration :)
