Design, templates, and production for over 25 years delivering clean, functional design underpinned by a robust template yielding consistent results in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Docs, or for the web. Wherever it lives, a custom template is the foundation of an organization’s visual brand cross-platform: it allows non-designer end users to emulate the look and feel created by the designer.
In the current economic climate, where positions have been cut but workload continues to expand, delegating a mission-critical project of any size to staff with already limited bandwidth may not be feasible. The ability to outsource projects to a trusted, reliable partner allows for the capacity to deliver accuracy and consistency in reflecting the company’s visual brand. Having a custom-built template in place, and the documentation for using it, make for efficient handoffs and a better result. A template goes a long way toward reducing the pain points of that handoff and makes for a closer match to the desired result.
- When designing for any application or platform, it’s helpful for a designer to understand and account for the possibilities and the limitations of the target deliverable — and to have an idea of the ease with which the end user will be able to implement the design
- In the building of a template, the goal is both to maintain the integrity of the design and to provide end users with tools to quickly and easily bring both new and legacy content into that design
- A production designer can provide not just the expertise in best applying the visual system to all collateral created for the organization, but the unbroken blocks of time needed to create a consistent result when rolling out legacy documents and libraries
With a design and identity background, our aim is to see every deliverable reinforce the client’s brand. Pairing that background with years spent in financial services, branding and strategy, advertising, libraries, schools, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals has provided for an ongoing survey of design, templates, and production.
