Working
method
Design can and should initiate innovations and accompany transformation processes.
In order to find attractive, individual and long-lasting solutions, I have
developed a working method which guarantees customers a tailor-made design
that comes at a fair price with transparent costings.
Briefing/Strategy
At the very beginning, together with you, I define the problem which needs
to be solved. I then observe your competitors and analyse the target group.
Concept
Together we decide on an overall structure and look-and-feel with the aim
to determine the main creative idea and to define the content as well as the
media which support this idea in the most effective and cost-efficient way.
Hereby laying the foundation for creating a well balanced end product.
Design
During the implementation of the concept, base elements such as:
• logo
• colour
• font
• picture style
• illustration
• diagram
• format
• paper
are created. After this I work on first layouts, which I present digitally
in the form of PDF-files.
Production
Following customer‘s approval technical implementation follows – in most cases
completely inhouse. All data are subject to extensive quality control measures
prior to delivery. The same applies if I consulted any colleagues I co-operate
with.
Concerning the production of print media my contacts to high-quality printers
with fair pricing policies are of great benefit. In case you already work
closely with a particular printer, I am more than happy to send the print
files directly to your printer in PDF format. To deliver on time is my main
priority.
I am certainly happy to give advice on choosing the best internet service
provider when it comes to hosting your website. Again should you already have
one, all I require are the login details of your FTP account in order to arrange
the upload of the end files as soon as possible.
Re-briefing
Critical review and improvement are important aspects of my work. It is important
for me to provide my consulting and design services beyond the point of project
completion. I would be grateful for any feedback on the effect the change
or new design has on the target group as this helps to suggest and implement
improvements to assure long-term commercial success of your business.
