Step 1 – Establish the creative brief

The first and the most important step of graphic design process is to understand and build the creative brief. Whether you are working in-house or for the external client, first of all establish the creative brief to proceed further.

An ideal creative brief should provide answers to a few questions such as:

• What is the purpose of the design?
• What is the expectation from the graphic designer?
• What are the project requirements?
• What kind of content needs to be developed?
• Who is the target audience?
• What is the project timeline?
• What is the project budget?

Step – 2 Conduct research for design inspiration

After having all the necessary information regarding the project and the client, carry out the research for design inspiration. Carry out the research to understand the client’s previous designs, competitor designs, response of customers and potential customers to various designs, etc. Use the research findings to build your original design.

Step 3 – Create the initial design draft

Now that you have the creative brief and the research information, you have almost all the necessary details with you to proceed with design draft. Now, start drafting the initial design as per the client requirement and the information generated through your research. During this process develop multiple design drafts and seek feedback from the colleagues as well as the client to finalize which design draft to develop further as final design.

Step 4 – Complete the selected design

Once the design is finalized, develop and refine the design using design tools. Apply your technical skills and knowledge at this stage and complete the design. Revisit the creative brief and research findings to ensure that you have not missed any point. If you find that you have missed something, then complete that point and ensure you have the final design that includes all the points from the client brief.

Step 4 – Seek client feedback

One you have refined and developed the design, send it to the client for feedback. After receiving the client feedback, start reworking on the design.

Step 5 – Send final version to the client

Once you apply the client feedback and do the necessary changes to your design, share the final work with your client.
