The Creative Design Process

The best way to approach draft designs is with vision:

  • What do you like?
  • What don't you like?
  • Does it have potential?
  • Do you mostly like it, but something isn't quite right?

Sometimes you just have to leave a design for a couple of days and come back to it with fresh eyes.

Other times, you may want to get feedback from trusted family, friends or associates to get a second opinion.

Once again, it doesn't hurt to gather visual examples of what you are striving for. This will help the designer-client communication process.

Are you familiar with the design process?

Here's some tips to let you know what you can expect from the designers at FUN 4 Business.

Our Draft Designs

Firstly, we present you with 3 draft designs. The keyword here is DRAFT. The draft designs are a great way to quickly give you some visual ideas from which we can get your feedback. But without spending too much time on designs that don't fit with you or your business.

What exactly does draft mean? It means that many things about the draft design can be changed, revised, edited, etc., until the draft design looks fantastic. Some things that can be changed are:

  • colour(s)
  • placement
  • order
  • text
  • size
  • and more!

Colour Perception Challenges

A constant challenge that web designers face is colour perception.

No two people perceive a colour the same. To complicate matters, different platforms (pc/mac), monitors, contrast settings, dark/light settings, etc., will affect how colours look on different computers.

To make matters worse, I've read that women perceive colours differently than men based on actual physical eye differences. To add to this, there is a high percentage of men who are colour blind.

We need your help!

The best way to explain to your web designer colour is to provide a digital example of what you mean. By supplying your colour example in jpg format (or another graphic format), you will get the closest colour to what you mean.

An alternative would be to provide a physical example of the colour you are trying to describe. Unfortunately, printed or real colours have to be matched by hand into the computer. This will delay the design process. But even this is better than "it looks too ___ to me. Can you make it more ..."
