LjG Graphics

Many designers go straight for what the customer needs rather than what the customer brings. For me, I find out a lot more information about a new businesses by having a fantastic communication system with the client and more importantly getting to know them as an individual, this way the client learns about me and my business and I learn about the client and their business.

My process is simple.
1. Get to know my client and what their business brings.
2. Ask some questions about the brand.
3. Hand draw a logo or website front page on a blank piece of paper.
4. Computerise the hand draw version.
5. Communicate back to my client to ensure they're happy with the creation.
6. Export files in the clients' desired format.
7. Completed - Happy customer, Happy me!

The information that a client sends when requesting work is very important to the design process as I can always refer back to it when working on the project. The more information the client can share about the project, the better the finished product will be.

Useful info could be any of the following:
1. Business Name.
2. Why the work is needed.
3. Exactly what work is needed.
4. Anything that the product should contain. E.g. business name, phone number, website domain name, etc.
5. When the work should be completed by.
6. What is the clients budget for the entire project.

The one thing that I enjoy most about being a graphic designer is when myself and the client reach the end of the design process and we are both happy with the finished article, if you like. The fact that my work is helping another business and that business is going to share my work to help them brand and market their company fills me with pride and excitement.

I've always wanted to start my own business. I was never really sure what business I wanted to create but I definitely knew it was down the graphic design path. I studied at college for 2 years in two subjects, Info. Tech (ICT) and Digital Media. So clearly, I have always been interested in who the graphics industry works and operates and the fact that I am my own boss and I set my own goals is something that definitely pushed my to start my own company.

Its simple. I offer professional work for affordable prices. I have a massive interest in graphic design and I know what works in a project, and what doesn't. When communicating with clients, I believe the best way to get the product exactly how they need it is to listen and go over the design brief as many time as necessary.

If you do decide to join me on your design journey I'd like to thank you for choosing LjG Graphics as your new designer and I can't wait to start working on this project together.
