  Design

Once the project was confirmed and brought on board, there was initially a brainstorming session – gaining ideas (no matter how diverse) from all the members of the company present.
From these ideas initial pre-mac scamps thought about and produced on paper.
The more feasible ideas were then designed into formal concepts using an Apple Mac computer and presented to the customer on presentation board.
There were then concept changes requested by the customer and then after various changes a written or signed final approval from them.
The timescale of the total project was reviewed and various parts of the project were planned to meet critical path timescales.

Artwork

Commissioned illustration was undertaken and the gaining of imagery from the customer.
High resolution image scanning took place with some image manipulation in Photoshop.
Production and tracing of some of the artwork in Freehand and Illustrator and at times some further stylising in Photoshop.
The elements were then laid out in Quarkxpress on the Mac and prepared in CMYK ready for print as artwork.
The artwork in this case was 'imposed' ready for the printer to go straight to film and plate.

Print and Finishing


The artwork was sent to the printer. A cromalin colour proof, taken from the printers films, was sent back for final checking.
Any major amendments were made in the artwork and re-sent to the printer, though minor amendments were generally made by the printer.
The print stock was finally confirmed, and the project was printed, folded and finished.
The finished job was sent out and distributed to Estate Agents and their selected customers.
