The Design Process
Finding the designer that fits your company is crucial to a successful design campaign. So you've reviewed our online portfolio, and you love our style? The next step is that we "meet," by phone or in-person, to discuss your objectives and your business. Our first session is complementary. Now is the time to decide if you feel comfortable working with Dayzign Graphics.
Getting to Know You
We want to know as much about you and your business as possible. Our forte is in understanding your goals and translating them into your company image. It helps to not only hear what you have to say, but also to see examples of designs that you like and dislike, to get a better idea of your taste. It's a great idea to bring these images with you to your first meeting.
The Proposal
Following our initial discussion, Dayzign will provide you with an estimate for your project. Should you accept the proposal, the design process begins with the receipt of your materials and your 50% deposit. Dayzign will let you know what is needed in the way of materials to begin the job. At this point, a thorough client interview will provide Dayzign with further insight into your company, its products or services, and its market.
"Dayzign begins with a client interview, we listen,
and then we dream ..."
Moving into Design
Within an established timeline, Dayzign will next provide you with your first round of designs. This is when your project comes to life. We work carefully to sculpt the image that is right for you. A design must not only be attractive and user-friendly, it must also accurately represent your image to your market, and STAND OUT among the competition.
Publishing
After your design has been narrowed down through the designated number of design rounds, Dayzign will provide you with printing or internet publishing quotes. We coordinate all publishing for your project. This ensures the correct outcome of your product. This is your time to enjoy the fruit of your vision and labor.
Regarding the Budget:
"The more informed you are as a client about what things cost, the more effective you can be in guiding a project. If you identify and articulate your objectives, see that the design team has access to what it needs from you, have a detailed budget and schedule to measure progress with ... there is no reason that you won't be able to enjoy the design process as much as the end product."
