My design approach

I love working with great people to help their businesses thrive. I work closely with all my clients to create high-quality work that meets the objectives and develops long-lasting relationships. Here is my process:

graphic design brief

Empathise

Getting to know you and your business is key for me, it allows me to understand where you are currently with your business, what challenges you face, why you do what you do and then work out where you need to go and how we get there. We will work together to identify and agree project objectives, deliverables, deadlines and budget etc.

Research & Sketching

I will then review all the information from the brief and begin looking at styles, competitors and trends etc which could influence the ideas. I will select and develop the strongest ideas and present them to the you explaining my thought process and evaluating against the brief.

Creative chaos

This is where the creative sparks start to fly, minds are open, and the excitement builds. New concepts are created ones you will like and ones you don’t like, but don’t worry this stage is all about embracing new ideas. Throughout this stage, I will send over work in progress in order to get your thoughts and feedback as your input is key in creating a process that is beneficial for your desired outcome.

Review and feedback

This is a critical part of the process. Throughout the whole of the creative process, I will send through concept idea as I work in order to get feedback and make the whole project as smooth as fun as possible. Just so you know positive and negative feedback is welcomed, I won’t be offended.

Pushing the boundaries

This is where we develop the final concept, together we evaluate the concepts against the brief. Any amendments are made the the chosen visuals and submitted for sign off. This is where the design concept really comes to life.

Take off!

This is the most rewarding part. Once you are happy, which is the most important part, I will supply all final artwork files. But our partnership doesn’t need to stop there, I like to build long-term relationships with all my clients, as it helps to build continuity throughout your design and marketing output but also once we have launched your project, we can both monitor the growth and impact – and find other ways to work together.
