The Three Rules of Planning

1.Write a Proposal & Timeline/Cost Out the Work (excel spreadsheet with invoices and costs – list of services and hourly rates) – Set Terms & Conditions – set targets and proposed completion dates/ set confidentiality agreements

2.Communication – Keep in touch – Consultation with client - Team Meetings – Flow Charts of Progress – Keep Records/Database – Present and offer templates and ideas for feedback

3.Research & Investigate – ideas/mood-boards, ethics, copy right – check out the concept has it been used before? What are the sustainability consequences? Will you be eco friendly with your design? Follow the design cycle.

In order for me to achieve these 3 points I would need to discuss with the client on what they want me to do, then after writing my proposal and timline I will then discuss my costs and terms and conditions with the client. In order for me to keep contact with my client I would asked them what means of communication they would prefer and then get there contact deatails, I will most likely do the same with the members of my design team, this way I can update the client as well as know what the rest of my design team have been up to. I would then research inspirations for my work by creating mood boards for each theme that the project is about, I will also look up for eco friendly ideas to go towards my final product, also by doing reasearch I can check if my ideas have already been done or not and avoid copyright infringment, but for this current project I will be communicating with my tutor by showing his my designs for logos/posters and he will be then showing them to the client, and then my tutor will return with feedback for me and then I will improve on it.
