The first step in my design process is to create a project brief. Creating a project brief makes sure we both understand what the project will involve and what outcomes are expected.
Briefs can vary in complexity depending on the scope of the project, below are some points that may need to be incorporated into the brief.
- Schedule / Deadlines
- Target Market
- Objectives
- Corporate Overview
- What will the design end up on? (type of media and sizing)
- Budget and Costings
Stage 2 – Idea Creating and Mock-ups
Using what we have discussed in the design brief I will then create a selection of different ideas or mock-ups that are then sent to you to evaluate and decide upon a design direction or idea that works.
Stage 3 – Full Render
Using the mock-up / design direction that we developed in stage 2 I then use the adobe design suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver) to fully render the design and send it through for your evaluation.
Stage 4 – Final Details and Approval
In stage four we look at finalizing the design so it is ready for use. This can involve making any final changes to the design and then getting the approval signed off.
Stage 5 – Delivery
With the design all complete, it’s now time to put it to use!
I can now make the finished design available for download, have it printed and delivered or in the case of a website make it go live.
