Timestamps: Book Cover

The document is a class on Skillshare about a freelance graphic designer's process for completing real client projects. It walks through three case studies - designing a book cover, postcard, and refining a web app. For each project, it shows the designer communicating with clients, creating initial drafts and refinements, implementing feedback, and delivering final designs along with invoices and payment. The goal is to provide a transparent view of the full creative process and best practices for client relationships and project management.
