What information should I give to the presentation designer about my project?
Tell the designer about your project goals and what message you want the presentation to deliver. Share the brand colors, fonts, and any style guide you have. Provide examples of presentations you like, to help the designer understand your taste.
How can I make sure the designer knows what I want?
Start with a clear and detailed brief that includes all the important details of your project. Hold a kickoff meeting to discuss your expectations and make sure the designer understands your vision. Regularly check in with the designer and give feedback to keep them on the right track.
What should be included in our project timeline?
Build a timeline that includes time for the designer to create drafts, for your feedback, and for final revisions. Make sure deadlines for each part of the project are clear and realistic. Factor in some extra time, just in case revisions take longer than planned.
How should I review the designer's work?
Look at the designer's work to ensure it matches your initial expectations and project brief. Check for consistency with branding, the flow of information, and the impact of visuals. Provide constructive feedback, focusing on specific areas that need changes.
What should we agree on before the designer starts?
Agree on the project scope, timeline, deliverables, and any milestones in advance. Make sure both parties understand what is expected, including what parts of the work can be revised and how often. Agreeing on these terms helps prevent misunderstandings later.
How can I help the designer to be creative?
Give the designer the freedom to explore different ideas and express their creativity. Encourage open communication and be open to suggestions they might have. Trust their expertise and experience to bring your project's vision to life in a unique way.
What kind of deliverables should I expect from the designer?
Expect to receive a presentation file in your desired format, such as PowerPoint or PDF. You may also get image files or supporting graphics separately. Make sure when you agree on deliverables, you specify the file type and version compatibility you need.
How can I support the designer in understanding my audience?
Provide detailed information about your target audience, including their interests and preferences. Share any user personas or audience research you have. The better the designer understands your audience, the more effective your presentation will be.
How is progress communicated during the project?
Choose a regular meeting schedule to discuss progress, like weekly or bi-weekly meetings. Use a project management tool to track tasks and milestones, so both you and the designer know what's been done and what's next. Good communication keeps everyone updated and on the same page.
