I do like the Cradle of Filth type treatment, so effective in its context.
@Jem in agreement about Vaughan Oliver... I particularly like his design work for the Cocteau Twins and Pixies, such a perfect pairing of sound and artistic vision.
GAP have changed their logo...

@MonteBoyd it's all in the "y" :)
@Jem looks more like the proofreader's mark to indicate a section of text is set too high. So perhaps grab myproofreadersmarktoindicateasectionoftextissettoohigh.com as well. Just to be on the safe side.

@Jem - Thanks Jem
@Gidget - Cheers - and yep, we are going back and writing summary's of the projects - far and away our least favourite part of the whole process - but invaluable all the same.

I only realised recently that one of the most important questions you have to ask yourself on every job is Are they paying me to give them what they want or are they paying me to tell them what they need?
And once you can answer that question (and it can be different for every job, even with the same client) the job tends to go a lot easier.

Tricky. I think the idea is to present it in what I call the Paul Rand flourish:
1 Current state of affairs
2 Problems client wanted you to solve
3 Detail solutions to the problems using your enormous design experience and training
4 Present the design solution, showing how design solves problems
5 Pause a bit
6 request payment
7 threaten physical violence
8 Nicolas Cage impression
9 leave (using grappling hook)

Get a folio printed at Blurb or somewhere like that. Costs about 100 bucks but it's taxable and if it's not worth $100 to get a folio printed then you don't really want the job.
