FAQs

Outline the project requirements by providing a detailed project brief that includes your objectives, target audience, design style preferences, specific deliverables, deadlines, and any brand guidelines or assets they should use. This clarity will help the designer understand your expectations and ensure alignment with your vision.
Key deliverables you should confirm include the final design formats, such as vector files, PNG or JPEG images, any mockups, design iterations or drafts, and any source files. Additionally, confirm the delivery timeline for each phase of the project to ensure timely submissions.
To facilitate smooth onboarding, provide the designer with access to necessary resources like brand assets, style guides, and any collaboration tools you'll be using. Set up an introductory meeting to discuss the project details, answer any questions they may have, and establish clear communication channels for ongoing updates and feedback.
