Design Process

The graphic design process – how Dreamworks Media work!

The design process can be straightforward, or it can be varied and complex. However, many creative agencies haven't thought the process through properly - or are still relying on outdated practices because 'that's the way it has always been done'.

Unfortunately 'that's the way it has always been done' is the reason that many clients, particularly in the corporate sector, have become disillusioned with graphic designers. We have seen good and bad processes throughout the years and have chosen the ones that we feel work best.

We don't have account handlers. When we design your job, we take on the whole project ourselves. When you deal with Dreamworks Media, you deal with someone who covers all bases – they will have been a graphic designer for several years, with project management, web development, print production experience and with an understanding of developing client briefs and getting the job done on time and on budget.

Moreover, we have learned that engaging with the client at an early stage is crucial, so that there are no unexpected surprises later on. Every client is different and so is every job. If the client wants to work in a certain way, we can adapt and a workable set of solutions developed. As ever, a top class finished product – that fits the brief – is the crucial goal.

More than just graphic design

For our clients peace of mind, we manage the whole creative process, from initial design concepts and artwork direction; to proofing the project; all the way through to the finished product and management of the production process and delivery. Our graphic designers have extensive accessible web design and print design knowledge. If you need copywriting, editing or photography services, we can also arrange and manage those.
