BMann Design Brand Website Homepage Design - In Progress

Hello Dribblers,

Hope everyone is doing great and I wanted to say thank you to all that have either followed me or liked one of my branding projects.

Today in the United States, we are still fighting about racism as we always do every 20 years or so. I am sure this has affected all freelancers combined with COVID it’s a real struggle, so hang in there!

The branded project I am showing today is the progress of my site BMANNDESIGN.com, its getting there from a homepage perspective, please let me know how you like it or any comments on improving what has been completed so far. I know there are some areas that need work but from a design perspective let me know as I really enjoy reading your comments and responding.

Branding teaching moment and word of the day:
Recently I decided to go fulltime freelance and I will have to say it is much different than earning a guaranteed paycheck each week. I feel the struggles as many people are different in that they want something for nothing or they test your patience time and time again.

I was approached by an existing client that I just recently started working with and yes I had a contract agreement with this person but they thought that I would design all the artwork for their building including a branding guide and 2 logos for 250. I said wait a minute…hold up!

I talk to the client, he was young, he did not understand, so I sent one last message. I told him that he needed to read the contract that it clearly states services rendered and 10,000 square feet was not included LOL!

I am waiting to hear back from him but personally this guy must be on another planet as I was being kind by designing two logos for 250 usually, I charge 650-800 and now we are at a crossroad. Sometimes you just have to step away and in my case, I tried, if it does not work out, then you cannot let your pride step in the way, you have to just move on or pass on the job all together is another option I am considering.

My word of the day:

Do not let things bother you, we do not have the time in the day to worry about things we cannot control, this is why our world is in a mess. So today and tomorrow and the next day after that, be nice and respectable regardless of the situation your are in and think but do not overreact!

Alright, I hope everyone is doing great and please follow me and I will follow you!

I always have creative designs and also over 25 year’s experience designing some of the top brands you see today, now I am a fulltime freelancer so those Nike days are over but I am strong than ever so be prepared to see some amazing designs and knowledge that will make you a more knowledgeable brand designer so you can reach you maximum potential – Till next time!
