Our Graphic Design Agency Process
Our experience after 15 years as a graphic design agency in the Marietta / Kennesaw / Acworth area is that most clients had a conscious or sub-conscious, pre-determined set of design preferences from which they judged the design as good or bad. These preferences acted like a filter from which everything was decided. So as our core distinctive service, we decided it would be helpful to have a process that extracts these preferences in an effort to “get everyone on the same page” in advance of the direction setting for the design. It is said that a “picture is worth a thousand words.” Exploring graphic design examples together accomplishes what words cannot. See step two for this essential step that defines the motto of our graphic design agency.
EXAMINE …the Benefits to Your Consumers
Before the creativity starts, we listen intently to your story to draw out those consumer benefits that set you apart in your market niche. If envisioning the end result of your marketing communications is enough to put the means in motion, get started now.
EXPLORE …the Design and Copy Examples
Our branded approach of leveraging relevant design and copy writing examples on the front-end of each project gives our clients the needed references to adequately envision and articulate their desired end-result to our team. That is what we mean when we say our graphic design agency "gives you the director’s chair."
ESTABLISH …the Core Conceptual
From our time exploring many visual samples, we will bring creative graphic design to the strategic thinking in order to develop the core look and feel (and written message if needed) that will serve as the base for all the marketing communication pieces to be designed.
EXECUTE …the Designs and Layouts
With the envisioned conceptual tightly worked out and approved, our agency creative team will develop the graphic design / layout of the actual marketing communication items: logo design, brochure, website design, ad, mailer, billboard, sales binder, etc.
EXPEDITE …the Printing and/or Web Files
At this stage, we load any web files to a server and/or send any print-related files to the assigned print vendor. Our graphic design agency works with top printers.
EXHIBIT …the Communications
Whether it is your printed materials going out via direct mail, or whether it is your website content being strategically crafted for search engine success, we can assist you (or help find the right vendor for the process).
