Getting The Most From Working With A Graphic Designer
31st December 2016
When you want to get some new print material designed, there are a few ways you can go about it. You can order items from websites that use print templates, you can run something up yourself on a basic office application or a free app or you can have something unique professionally designed for your specific business need.
Needless to say, having a well-designed print item is the best way to get your material noticed and to effectively communicate your business' unique selling point. You may think that using a professional graphic designer is too expensive or that your job is too small but that's certainly not the case with Graph Print! We have our own in-house graphic designers and they would be delighted to work with you to make your ideas a reality, however big or small your job is.
To truly get the most from working with a professional graphic designer, it is important to write a clear design brief. Think about the following questions before you write it.
What is the elevator pitch for your business?
What feelings do you want your brand/message to evoke?
What aesthetic are you looking for?
What brands do you like/dislike and why?
What is your brand position?
Who are your competitors?
What is the objective of the campaign?
What is your budget and timeline?
