Timeline for I'm a beginner: my client won't answer simple questions I've asked to aid design, what to do?

Do not use backticks for anything other than code.

Okay. :) I think those designers made you, as the client, work far too much to do their job for them. :) It really just takes a conversation.

Having been the clueless client buying design work, it's always been an iterative process of either having the designer show me something and pointing out what I like and dislike about it, or having the designer show me a couple options, choosing one, and iterating. If Chloe doesn't feel she has enough info to create something to show, hopefully she can work toward gathering enough info by showing design artifacts that already exist and asking simple questions. | |

While a decent answer, I kind of feel this would be unnecessarily bombarding any client with too many choices. That's a very slippery slope for client-based creative work. | |
