Project Process
The Steps to Take
Every project I take on has a slightly different process but I tend to sick to some pretty common rules I follow with each one.
Color/Themes
With every project, there are the fundamental basics you begin with. Based on what information the client gives me, I come up with the basics of what I wish to create for them. Often they will give me a theme, brand details, or a color scheme to work with, which is a great start.
Sketches
After finding a concise theme and color scheme, I begins sketching out ideas to build the design off of. I usually make 3-10 sketches and sometimes merge ideas for the beginning of the final design
From Sketch to Illustrator
After I have a good plan for what I wish to create I will bring the sketches into Illustrator and begin the first draft of the design.
Reviews and Finalizing
After sending in the draft, I take feedback and finalize the design to match the clients every need. My goal is to be able to create exactly what my client needs and is looking for, so I tend to do as many revisions as necessary to achieve that goal.
