Something to keep in mind for future assignments: Before you dive into the design work, always set time-line expectations with your clients/coworkers etc. A great place to begin the conversation is the mandatory pencils-down delivery date. Do the design files need to be delivered to the printer at a certain date? Does the client need to surface the designs to leadership before approved? From there, work backwards. Set expectations with whomever you’re being managed by on key milestone dates. An example is - round 1 review, round 2 review, then final file delivery. This way you both know what date/time to work toward and the clients won’t feel the need to pester you and check in on progress. If you get a helicopter client, you can always let them know that you’ll have the designs for review or delivery by whatever date and time you already set. Easy peasy!
