I also prepare images and perspectives. What I wanted to ask was: Generally the client doesn’t know what they want and when you come up with new ideas rather than the usual concepts, they don’t understand it.

A member in another forum in the lounge asked a question about resume’s and CV’s- where might she find a template to create these.
