[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8505657, member: 15700"] That's a fascinating read, especially in the context of the conversation she and I had earlier today (I guess technically yesterday lol) regarding the title logo she is doing for me. I've had artists do logos for me in the past (like my profile pic for one). In nearly every case, the art/image is the focus and the words/lettering almost seems an afterthought. For Darlene, the lettering is the focus. Which makes sense, considering she's an expert at that. I've quickly found out that her attention to detail is second to none. She's asked me design questions that no other artist has asked me, and some questions I never thought of, but when she asked, I was like, "Oh yeah! That makes total sense to consider that!" I have no doubt in my mind she is a consummate professional at the top of her field just based on what I read from articles like that, and from just a few brief conversations. She's one of those I feel totally comfortable giving complete creative freedom to, and I would completely defer to on the design. Sometimes you as the client need to step back and trust in your artist, because they are thinking of how your art will look in different scenarios (contrast, print, size alterations, etc) that you might not have thought about. She's clearly one of those people. She's someone you listen to, and give her ideas the thought they deserve. And it makes total sense why she took such offense at the faded logo LaNasa presented to her, knowing what I know about her now. LaNasa is the type of person who has no problems skating by on cheap knockoffs, and Darlene is an exceptional creator who takes pride in her work. Even outside of everything else, that is oil and water right there. Do you remember a few years ago when that painted face of Jesus was painted over in an attempt to restore it? That's what this reminds me of. LaNasa providing the after picture and asking Darlene if she would attach her name to it because she did the original.
