Client: I want you to come up with a catchy cover picture for a blog post. The image needs to be 600x800 large. Can you get this done by today?
Me: Sure, what kind of cover picture were you thinking of? Are there any specific images or text you want, or feelings that need to be conveyed?
Client: The topic is “Big Business Decision Making.” Maybe include the word “SEO” and… a man concentrating as an image?
I send three examples.
Client: I don’t like any of these. They don’t say anything about real estate .
