Design is one of the most important steps in the creation of your final product. As an astute graphic artist, we follow this series of steps before beginning the actual design work to ensure delivery of the exact outcome you are expecting.

Step 1: Briefing in person, over the phone or by email.

The critical starting point for a well thought out design process is a briefing. We ask for a brief overview of what (she needs. Then we gather details about your expectations, your company's mission, vision, and goals, as well as your products or services. It's worth noting that designers need to go beyond the surface level of what the company or individual does and dive into the benefit for their customers so that this component can be translated in the resulting design.

Important side note: every element of a design sends a message to viewers, from colors and typography to the tagline and symbols.

Step 2: Our design team will create several options for you to pick the most suitable option for your specific need. You will then be given the chance make any design changes needed. We will work with you to make sure every detail is exactly how you want it.

Important side note: Please make sure that once you have made your decision on the design, that you carefully check the names, phone numbers, spelling, colors and sizes to make sure all information is correct.

Step 3: We present the second draft for your approval. Now you are ready to relax while we work hard to deliver the final product! The designer passes the design on to production including any special instructions from the client.
