Each project is different whether it is designing a new logo, brochure or website. In order to clarify the different steps a project goes through, we hope the following explanation of each stage is easy to understand to help you through our design process.

Our first meeting

The first step in any design process is talking about what you are looking to do and define what you are trying to achieve. You may already have your own ideas which helps narrow down the design process and reduces cost. After our initial chat, we will produce in writing a response to your needs. The brief is very important because it helps us to build a framework that we can respond to in a visual way.

Timings and costings

Another crucial step is agreeing with you fees and timings for your project. This means estimating how much time will be needed, what the key deadlines are and what will be needed to complete the project. Production costs, for example, photography, writing, printing and other expenses will also be factored into the final quote estimate. On some projects we may also require a deposit.

Creation of ideas and discussion

First concepts of design ideas are drawn up to be presented. This is considered a very important part of this process and so discussion and feedback are essential. This process may go through several rounds of refinement to approval stage.

Approval and delivery

Once the design has been approved, whether it is a website or printed literature, care and attention to detail is paramount in the completion and finish of the project.
