THE DESIGN PROCESS - how to work with me:

NB: This is for a design/ illustration job, but the process is still very similar for my other services too.

 

  1. KIA ORA / HELLO! Client approaches designer - or I might approach you if I think you could use my services.


  2. CREATING A BRIEF I will meet with you on a call or in person to talk through some questions to inform a creative brief (if you don’t already have one).
    We will talk through your needs, any constraints, timeline and budget, as well as your particular aesthetic needs and whether i’m working with existing material/ design assets and colours or if we’re starting from scratch.


  3. QUOTE FOR THE WORK - I will send you through a draft quote for my time on the job, based on what we talked about.


  4. QUOTE ACCEPTED - This will include an agreement between us for the delivery of the work, and what we’ll do to avoid scope-creep. I will ask for 50% of the funds up front so I can purchase materials and anything else needed to get the job done.


  5. WORK STARTS! RESEARCH - I will meet with you to go over the brief and gather / add all of the information I can about your project. I’ll then go away and work on the concept drafts, and check in with you that it’s all correct and on the right track for what you’re wanting. I might ask you to send me things too. This will be added to the brief where applicable, as a living document.


  6. CONCEPT OPTIONS - DEVELOPMENT & REFINEMENT - I will create 1-5 concept options for your feedback. Working from them I will work to develop and refine the one you like the most. We will check in 1-3 times to make sure it’s on point.


  7. SIGN OFF - Any amendments beyond this will incur an extra cost.


  8. FINALISING - FORMATTING & DELIVERY - I will send you through the final work, all packaged up nicely. I will also send you through my final invoice of the remaining 50% .
