Describe your creative process.
Communication is key.
The brief should be well defined and considered from the beginning. The more upfront information we can gather the better the end result - there are no stupid questions! We provide a briefing form with pointers to help the process. Once the form is filled out and supplied back we recommend a call or meeting to discuss and agree the key points.
From analysing the brief some visual or market research can be required before progressing to scamps of low res visuals of concepts.
2/3 options will often be presented for consideration. Final tweaks and amends to the chosen route are applied and files supplied in the requested format.
