How do you start your project with a client?

.

I usually start mine communicating with clients by having an online conference. That usually starts with their ideas, thoughts, likes, dislikes, what the business or companies all about. Then I started to ask some questions and opening up some ideas and suggestions. 
.
By then, I got the chance to create a branding guide or something like a moodboard to help them visualize what I mentioned before. It started with color palettes, typography, patterns, photos and such. There are lots of helpful guide or sample that you can choose from. For colors, you can look up into Pantone, color. adobe, palette and likes. For font pairing, I highly recommend FontPair, it helps you pair Google fonts together.

Sharing ideas to your clients help them get to know more about their brand and help them find the missing pieces of the puzzle.
