Creative Process

General Process

See this information in a downloadable handout.

Most graphic design requests will follow this process. (Manufactured Items and PDF Forms have slightly different processes.)

Step 1: Request

Step 2: Review

  • We review your text in Word and suggest changes if needed. 
  • You approve the final version.

Step 3: Draft

  • We design a draft and send a website link to Adobe Review.
  • You mark small changes or give your approval.

Step 4: Approval

  • You give final approval. 
  • We finalize the project, ensuring it’s accessible and ready for distribution.

Step 5: Delivery

  • We deliver the final project to you. 
  • If needed, we send it to a vendor for production.

Timeline

We need 2-4 weeks’ notice for most creative tasks. This timeline is only possible when we have capacity and resources.

We need 4-8 weeks’ notice for manufactured items because vendors have their own timelines. Please allow us to start conversations with vendors.

The design process for all requests starts after we receive final text. Work will not begin without final text.
