What can 427 Design be for you?
How We Do It
Every client is different. Every project is different.
And we approach every creative project differently.
At 427 Design, we have a well-tested, client-approved creative process that walks you through each phase of any project you embark upon with us. Our team will be right there with you every step of the way to answer your questions,
make suggestions and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the results. To learn more about how we would handle your creative needs, e-mail us, or give us a call.
Consultation
C’mon in. Squeeze the chicken. Have a seat. Tell us about yourself. Tell us about your business. What are your goals? And what can we do, creatively, to help you get there?
This is the part where you usually do a lot of the talking and we do a lot of the listening. But don’t worry — if you’re not sure what to say, we have a list of questions that we provide to all of our prospective and new clients to get the ball rolling.
We try to cover all of the bases in the initial meeting, so that we all walk away feeling as if we have the knowledge to move to the next step.
Research
After the initial consultation, the 427 team springs into action. We look at your current identity, branding, marketing or website — if you have them. If you don’t, well then that’s likely why you’ve contacted us in the first place. We also look at your competitors and we explore your marketplace and your industry.
We do our best to understand who you are and the world you live in, so that we can help you to stand out in it.
Concept Development
Armed with the information gathered from the consultation and research phases, the fun begins. We put pen to paper, mouse to pad. By now the ideas are running rampant and the team is working on the development on several concepts.
These concepts first undergo an internal vetting process, and the “selects” are then passed along to you for your first review and feedback.
Collaboration
The collaboration phase of the project begins when your team reviews our concepts and the dialogue begins. You tell us what you like, and what you don’t. We take your feedback, discuss ways to improve the concepts and then we go back to the drawing board (literally in some cases). Sometimes this phase takes a few rounds, but we work with you until its right.
Until it’s exactly what you want and just what you or your business needs.
Production
Once the concepts are polished and approved, we will work with you on the final production of your creative. If it’s a print project, for example, we will help you to select papers and print vendors to best suit your needs. Or if the project is more of a digital nature, we’ll assist you with all of the testing, preparing and launching involved in those mediums as well.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Even after every pixel has been created and every dot of ink printed, we want to make sure that you are completely satisfied with the time you spent with us. We strive to create the most original, creative and exciting solutions to your problems and we want to you love the final product as much as we do.
We love nothing more than to help contribute to our clients’ successes. We’d love to work with you — contact us and become a part of our creative process. It’s fun, we promise.
