Process

01 Research & Investigation

Every project begins with an in-depth consultation with the client, helping us to establish expectations, share initial ideas and determine the key deliverables. We use a range of resources including our extensive design archive to carry out research based on these discussions, which we present in the form of moodboards, sketches and inspiring precedents.

02 Concept Design

Following research and feedback we go on to develop concept brands/wireframes, all unique and all responding to the brief. The concepts include examples of how each idea could be developed across different print and digital platforms.

03 Development

Upon the delivery and sign off of a concept, we develop this further. We look at how the brand can adapt to digital and print usage, as well as colour, application and evolution. For digital projects such as websites we develop key functions and structure, focusing on user experience and responsive design.

04 Execution | Implementation

We will help get you get your project live and make sure everything is set up to deliver maximum impact. This can include launch strategy, marketing support and guidelines around brand implementation. For websites we provide training and support to ensure you are able to successfully maintain an attractive, effective and fully functioning digital presence.

05 Evaluation

After every project we evaluate the work we have delivered to establish areas for future development and improvement. This informs our own development as an agency, helping us deliver ever improving service and standards.
