who can you trust?

When it comes to design there are many practitioners and no regulations! Would the world be a better place if we had a design inspectorate or creative police to ensure Comic Sans remained safely behind bars? Exactly what credentials do you need to call yourself a designer anyway? None apparently. So in our view the only meaningful credentials are proven expertise through experience. So asking your designer Have you done this before? Who for? and How well did it go? is a good idea.

choose carefully

Finding the right design team may require some effort but is well worth pursuing. To get the most out of your creative ask yourself - can you appreciate and respect the expertise you are purchasing and are you open to the creative input this designer will bring to your business? These can be tricky questions to answer but often reveal whether you have confidence in your choice. Ideally your appointment of a design team should lead to a working relationship that a) defines the problem, b) produces a solution and c) monitors the results of each project you are working on. Remember you can’t manage what you cannot measure!

value for money

When it comes to cost there will always be cheaper alternatives out there. Beware though as value for money is not measured by initial outlay but on the return you get from your investment. How effective was that eshot at attracting new enquiries? Did that direct mail campaign yield higher than average results? Who found the new catalogue easier to order from? etc. If you are wondering about investing in design for your business why not get in touch - we would be delighted to chat through any projects you may be thinking about.
