Laura Hollingworth Creative

Before starting any creative project it's always good to obtain a clear brief from the client. This can be done via email, phone or in person. I would ask a variety of questions relating to the project such as timescales, preferred styles, colour schemes and budgets.

I'll need to know as much as possible about the client requirements are before starting any work. I'm happy to call to talk over the project or receive a design or print brief via email. Usually I do like to speak with the client in the earlier stages, just so I know everything is covered before begining the project

I am able to cater for a wide variety of print projects from brochures, posters, labels, sticker, all sizes of leaflets, invitations - pretty much everything.

If required, I can send out a 'Design Brief Questionnaire' which can be filled in and emailed back to me. Sometimes this can prove to be useful as it can help the client think about aspects of their project that they may not have considered, and which could have some bearing on the outcome of the end result.

I am able to sketch out my initial ideas / layouts / concepts as visuals if needed, as this is a quick method of presenting work and gaining client approval prior to spending time working up designs digitally.

Once the initial sketches have been approved, for the second stage - I will then spend time working the designs digitally, in more detail - using various fonts , colours and images. I will supply various design options if required. If a design is chosen at this point, then any final adjustments/amendments will be made and I will supply the artwork either 'print ready' or 'web ready' as either vector linework, jpegs or as high res Photoshop documents.

I too, am able to arrange the printing of any work that I produce for my clients also, this includes booklets, poster, leaflets, invites to business cards and letterheads - I can print the full range of formats and in quantities large and small, anything from 5 items up to 25,000 and at very competitive prices.

As much information as possible, any visual references, colours, design examples, client likes and dislikes along with any previous designs if the brief involves updating an existing project.

A clear indication of how the design work will be used and where. i.e. a logo for a business card, that will also be used on a vehicle / shop front signage.

Being original and providing quality work and concepts that make clients happy. A happy client equals a happy designer!

To have more creative freedom with the work that I produce.

As I have a wealth of creative experiece coupled with the ability to create original design work that is impactful and memorable.
