How We Work

Every project we take on presents its own unique challenges and guidelines. After we discuss your project goals, we can propose how to allocate the budget, time, and resources needed for us to produce optimum results. Every project consists of four phases:

1. BUDGET PROPOSAL
• All information relevant to your project is assembled and detailed to establish the budget schedule guidelines.

2. ANALYSIS & STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT
• Research is conducted to identify existing image equities and marketplace. Design strategy, objectives and criteria are developed and agreed upon.

3. DESIGN EXPLORATORY
• A range of initial design approaches will be explored.
• A design survey is conducted. Designs that best meet established objectives are isolated and possibly extended further for reevaluation.

4. IMPLEMENTATION & PRODUCTION
• Approved designs are translated into art and digital mechanicals for final production and legal clearances.
• All artwork and computer files are distributed to the appropriate personnel.
