I am working on a web site for a client who also needs a logo. The logo was not part of the original bid, but rather than build a site around a brand that sucks eggs I took it upon myself (read FREE) to put together a simple branding solution. Since it was a freebie I did something that I don’t normally do, that is start with some clip art. As an illustrator I find it very difficult to use somebody else’s work as a solution to my own. Even if this means saving money. But this time around I did not have the time so I jumped to istockphoto and found a piece of illustrator art that I could use as a jumping off point and then fill in the blanks. Over all it worked great. The client loves it, and now I am free to move into the work I am actually being paid to do.
