Graphic Design Process

 

At Virtually Focused Solutions (VFS), we recognize that every design project should be judged in isolation.  Each project is different from the next, not only in presentation, but also in process and outcome, and because of this, we will develop a solution that is suited to your specific needs and goals. 

 

Following are the steps involved in creating a professional and unique graphic project, designed specifically for you and focused on your business needs.

 

1. Initial Contact

2. Discussion Meeting

3. Design Layout

4. Creative Development

5. Completion of Design

Initial Contact

Call us at 919-770-7474, or send us an email to set up an initial phone meeting.  Our initial conversation will be an introduction to each other.  We would be happy to answer any preliminary questions that you may have, and give you a brief description of how we work.

 

If you are interested in having us work with you, we can set up a meeting to discuss your graphic needs, or use our Graphic Contact Form to fill out and submit back to begin the development of your graphic project.

Discussion Meeting

During the ordering process we collect critical information about your business to understand your organization. This includes your creative ideas, color and font preference

 

We will spend a great deal of time listening to you and learning about your business and area of expertise.  We will want to know what inspires you, your motivation and what sets you apart from others.  We will discuss your target audience, what information you will want to include, and the basic goals for your project.

 

Some things to consider:

 

  • Describe your company / Who you are?
  • Your target audience?
  • 3-5 keywords you want this design to project?
  • Your company colors and style?

 

The terms and conditions of the project will be listed and if you have not paid the deposit, then prior to any work starting on this project, a deposit of 35% will be due.

Design Layout

Once the basics such as color, font, style have been determined for your project, we will submit to you two layout concepts for your review and selection.  Upon your selection of the layout, we will fine-tune and revise based on your comments.  Upon final approval of the design layout, 25% payment of the project will be required.

Creative Development

Based on the two design layouts you select we will work on revisions of your chosen design to your specifications.

 

Your design at final approval will be formatted as follows:

 

  • AI and EPS- Adobe Vector File for scaling and printing
  • GIF and JPG optimized 72 dpi web ready file
  • GIF and JPG, optimized 72 dpi web ready file
  • TIF 300 dpi sizeable file
  • PDF Portable document Format

 

Completion of Design

Upon receipt of the final 40% payment, the design will be submitted.

 

We feel it is very important to work with you and include you in every step of the way in designing your project.  So lets get focused on today, simply fill out our graphic design form to get started...
