The Design Process:

All Clients are Responsible for:

1.) Proofreading
2.) All copy supplied via disk/email
3.) Artwork/Images

The ideal designer and client relationship resides in confidence and trust of ability and execution. What makes a working relationship so effective is planning and maintaining a production schedule throughout a project and doing periodic checks to make sure all project goals are being accomplished.

Each project is managed and organized in a sequential series of events. It is anticipated that the process for working with each Client will be as follows and when needed:

1. Concept Development Stage: Hunter Foss Design will work with the Client to develop the creative concept that will initiate or further define the Client’s Brand. This Design Stage will result in the creation of up to three solid design treatments. The components of the design are presented for initial client reaction and discussion.

2. The Layout Stage: will begin with the agreed direction, as discussed in Stage 1 and final approved copy.

Photography/illustrations and graphics will be produced. A layout (1st client Page Proof ) will be produced as a printed comprehensive or a pdf file to get a look and feel for the copy and art in place for the component. Comments, edits, and alterations are expected at this stage to fine-tune the design stage into reality.

With text comments and layout comments incorporated, a refined final pdf (2nd client Page Proof) will be presented for approval, prior to the print production process. Minor tweaks to the copy and nudges to the design, etc., are expected at this stage.

3. The Production Stage: takes the computer files to a disk-ready stage. All specs will be coordinated well in advance, i.e., budget, quantity, size, shipping, etc.

Copywriting: All copy is to be supplied by the client in electronic format.

Artwork: Custom illustrations and/or royalty-free stock photography will be coordinated throughout the design. Final decisions will be based on need and budget. Costs will be discussed at the Initial Design presentation for planning purposes.
