What project goals should I share with my graphic designer?
Explain the main objective of your project. Tell them what you want people to do when they see the design. For example, do you want them to click a button or buy something? This helps the designer know what to focus on.
How should I describe my brand to the designer?
Share your brand’s values and personality. Is it playful or serious? You can tell them the colors you like and any designs you find inspiring. This helps the designer know how to make your brand look just right.
What deadlines should I set for the project?
Decide on a date you need the work finished by. Make sure to include time for changes if needed. It’s good to agree on a timeline that works for both you and the designer.
How many design options should I ask for?
Think about asking for two or three options to choose from. Having choices can help you find what you like best. It’s easier to decide when you can see different ideas.
What files should I request from the designer?
Ask for files like JPEGs and PNGs for easy use. You might also need high-quality files like PDFs or PSDs. This ensures you can use the design in different places like websites or prints.
Why is it important to agree on revisions with the designer?
Decide how many times you can change the design. Sometimes you will want something different after seeing the first draft. Knowing how many revisions helps avoid surprises.
What should I include in the design brief?
Write down everything the designer needs to know. This includes the size, colors, and text for the design. A clear brief helps the designer make exactly what you want.
How can I keep track of the project’s progress?
Set up regular check-ins with the designer to see how things are going. This helps you catch any issues early. You can ask for updates through emails or video calls.
What is the best way to provide feedback to the designer?
Be clear and kind when telling the designer what you think. Mention things you love and areas to improve. This helps the designer understand your vision better.
How should I prepare for a project handover?
