Yoshi is talking to a new client about a project. Which question is BEST to ask first?

"Will you need a raster version?"

The best question to ask first is: "Will the project be for print or for online?"

This question helps clarify the overall medium of the project, which can significantly influence design decisions, requirements, and file formats needed later on in the discussion. Once you know the intended use, you can then dive deeper into specific technical details like display type, file versions, or source file compression.
