Our Process for Print-Focused Design Projects
Headquartered in Washington, DC, our graphic design services team has embraced the bustling life of the nation’s capital city by constantly refining our creative processes to meet tight timelines and approval workflows commonly found in nonprofits and corporations alike.
Our dedicated B2B approach ensures clarity, consistency, and efficiency for clients who rely on high-impact creative designs without time-consuming roadblocks.
Step 1: Marketing Strategy & Brand Alignment
We review your brand assets, goals, and timelines. If needed, we help refine your messaging and layout strategy before design begins.
Our team values planning ahead, and planning together, before design work or production begins. This way, our team and yours are on the same page from start to finish.
Step 2: Design Development & QA
We present concepts and refinements to your marketing or branding team, building designs around your project goals and target audience preferences.
Here, we focus on how to maximize the performance and usability of the final product by asking more in-depth questions and considering use cases.
Step 3: Finalization, Delivery, & Support
Once our graphic designers have finished the QA phase and your team has given final approval, all final project files are delivered in a print-ready format.
In some cases, we can work directly with your printer vendor, or help you source company options that offer high-quality printing solutions.
