A very important aspect of any Product Design folder is a sheet that clearly identifies the client. This is normally the person who has commissioned you with designing and making a product. It will probably be the person you are design for, such as a customer.

 

On the Client Profile sheet you need to include some details about your customer. An example is seen below  and includes suggested subtitles to a variety of short sections.

 

The client is a professional guitar player who needs a special, individual, hand made guitar.
