UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT

Is it a print project-or would it be better suited to the web?

What is the goal of the project?

SCHEDULING & PROPOSALS

Based on the results of the first two parts, scheduling needs be done.

If subcontractors are necessary for copywriting, photography, etc. they would contacted and their bids taken into account for the budget.

Once bids are in, proposal is written up based on the amount of time necessary for the project to be completed, as well as the subcontractors bids that will be pertinent to the project.

If the proposal is accepted, the project is started!

CREATIVITY ENSUES!

Now that research and scheduling have taken place, the design execution would begin.

Generally, two or three options are created to reach the project goals. One of these options is selected and necessary revisions take place to fine tune the final result and meet the client expectations.
