I dunno. Some of the altcoins are entertaining. I think the thing that makes new ones stand out is some kind of improvement or innovation. But so many of them are little more than Litecoin with a new picture on it. If you're seriously into the idea, you'll need C++ skills, a copy of QT creator. There's a project on Github called foocoin, which is designed as a starting point for people interested in starting their own coins. Though, looking at the repo, I think it might have been deleted. There should be others, but it will require some Google-fu.
If the motivation here is actually making any money, though, might I recommend trading existing altcoins instead of creating one? Trading is a much more efficient use of computing power than mining, and it's potentially a lot more profitable than creating your own coin.
If the motivation is branding, I would strongly advise against trying to sell this idea to your client. Even if you do manage to get it traded, if the thing crashes, it'll make your client look like an idiot. Then there's long term support issues. You'll need to be working on this constantly. What happens if you need to fork your blockchain?
