WELCOME TO OPEN MIND STUDIOS We are a small graphic design firm specializing in identity, print collateral and event promotion. It’s simple, really. We’re here to make your job easier. We know how it can be. You can spend most of your day just putting out fires and never quite getting to the important stuff. When you come to us, we get you to slow down, step back, and see the whole picture. This makes it easier for you to communicate your needs more accurately which helps us provide you with successful design solutions. We feel it is important to build strong personal relationships with our clients. We strive over time to instill a level of trust so once you assign us a project, you can cross it off your list. We'll handle it. You'll be involved, of course, but you can rest assured the job will likely end up better than you had imagined. On time. On budget. ABOUT OUR NAME There aren't many better metaphors for creativity than an Open Mind. And for us it's not just a name. It means something. It means we know our clients have something valuable to add to the process. It means we shouldn't get complacent with obvious solutions and reminds us to keep looking for new ways of approaching problems. And mostly, it means that we all have something to offer this world and no one has a monopoly on the truth. OUR DESIGN PROCESS Our design process is centered around providing our clients with the best possible services and solutions for their business. The outline below presents our general design process and workflow. This is a starting point. Ultimately, we adapt our processes to meet each client's individual needs. Briefing | Client Meeting | Consultation We first hold a meeting to discuss project objectives, deadlines, budget and expectations. The client may be asked to provide a creative brief as a guide by which to begin design. Client provides all text, logos, photos and any other items to be included in project. The designer's time can be spent most efficiently when all materials are provided at the beginning of a project rather than trickling in over time. Concept | Design Development The designer will review the creative brief and provided materials to ensure understanding of project scope and expectations. He or she then works on preliminary concepts, designs and sketches and selects the most appropriate solutions for further development. Initial Presentation of Solutions The designer presents the client with design solutions and elaborates on creative decisions. If needed, Client and designer discuss solutions and review brief to ensure the project goals are being met. Design Revisions | Follow-up Presentations | Approval The designer will modify designs to client specifications and supply a new proof (generally via PDF). The client reviews and marks up subsequent proofs with additional changes. Revised proofs will be provided until final approval is reached. Clients give final approval by signing a hard copy or emailing final approval based on a PDF proof. Production The designer works with outside vendors (e.g., commercial printers, billboard) to determine production costs and specifications on items such as paper, quantities, etc. After final approval, the designer forwards final artwork to the appropriate vendor. Review printer’s proofs and perform a press check if applicable.
