Before a designer can begin their work, they typically require certain key information and insights from the client. This information helps designers understand the project requirements, align their creative vision with the client's goals, and deliver a design solution that meets expectations. Here are some crucial details a designer may need:

1. Project Brief: A comprehensive project brief provides an overview of the design project. It includes details such as the scope, objectives, and deliverables. The brief should outline the purpose of the design, target audience, desired outcomes, and any specific preferences or requirements.

2. Company/Organization Background: Designers need a clear understanding of the client's business or organization. Information about the company's history, values, mission, and vision helps designers align the design with the overall brand identity and convey the desired message.

3. Target Audience: Insight into the target audience is vital for effective design. Designers need to know who the design will be communicating with, their demographics, preferences, and needs. This understanding helps tailor the design to resonate with the intended audience.

4. Design Goals and Objectives: Clear articulation of the design goals and objectives helps designers focus their efforts and make informed design decisions. Clients should communicate the desired impact, key messages, and emotions they want the design to evoke.

5. Brand Guidelines: If the project involves an existing brand, designers require brand guidelines, including logo files, typography, color palette, and any specific brand elements. These guidelines ensure consistency and cohesiveness with the established brand identity.

6. Visual References: Clients can provide visual references such as examples of designs they like or admire. These references give designers insight into the client's aesthetic preferences, style, and expectations. While it's essential to respect copyright and not replicate designs, visual references serve as valuable inspiration.

7. Technical Specifications: Depending on the project requirements, designers may need technical specifications such as dimensions, file formats, and any constraints for the design, especially for print or digital media. Clear communication about these specifications ensures the design is optimized for its intended use.

8. Timeline and Budget: Understanding the project timeline and budget allows designers to plan their workflow accordingly. It helps establish realistic expectations and deliver the design within the given constraints.

Open and transparent communication between the client and designer is crucial for a successful outcome. Providing these essential details at the outset allows the designer to have a clear understanding of the project, align their creative approach, and deliver a design solution that meets or exceeds expectations.

I love helping people. Whether a corporate CEO or a small business owner, they all have a mission to ensure the success of their endeavours, which positively touches the quality of their personal life when they accomplish great things. I've helped many people reach their goals through my work and find happiness in a thriving organization that provides abundance in everything they do. Everyone deserves a chance at great success – I want to be a part of that journey in accomplishment for others.

And I love art and design.

I've been an artist, designer and photographer most of my life, even in childhood. Art and design came to me naturally, and I found myself already working professionally in television and advertising at age 16 while finishing high school. By the time I graduated, I had already worked for several years at an agency where I continued my career while others went to university or college. After a ten-year term as Creative Director at an ad agency, it was time to broaden my horizons and offerings by providing a boutique-style suite of creative services for corporations and businesses of all sizes in various industries. Most recently, I've found success in banking, financial, and high tech aerospace and military sectors.

Clients should choose me, osku Studios, not only because I have a passion and love for what I do but because I am a consummate professional with more than 25 years of industry experience and success. I believe that all people, CEOs and small business owners alike, all deserve an equal chance at success and happiness. I can help them reach those goals and accomplishments through my wide range of top-notch professional skills and the powerful imagination to create uniquely creative results while maintaining a tight brand presence in everything they give me to work on.

Except for shooting video on location, I work strictly online and remotely to save time, save the environment by reducing my carbon footprint, and for the sheer convenience of rapid communications and getting on with productive tasks to help complete client projects in a timely and efficient manner.

I am keenly aware of social health concerns and insist on following government-mandated protocols for everyone's safety. Unless explicitly requested by a client, my work and services don't require in-person presence, except where video shooting is done on location and where masks may be necessary. Working remotely and online removes the risk of infection and ensures everyone's safety.
