Streamline graphic design workflow for maximum efficiency and quality output. Project intake process: 1. Creative brief: objectives, target audience, deliverables, timeline, budget. 2. Asset collection: logos, brand guidelines, copy, reference materials. 3. Stakeholder identification: decision makers, reviewers, approval chain. Design phases: 1. Research and inspiration (10% of timeline): mood boards, competitor analysis. 2. Concept development (30%): 3-5 initial directions, rough sketches. 3. Design execution (40%): detailed design work, refinements. 4. Revision cycles (20%): stakeholder feedback, final adjustments. File organization: 1. Folder structure: /01_Briefs, /02_Assets, /03_Concepts, /04_Finals. 2. Version control: v01, v02, v03 naming convention. 3. Archive system: completed projects with delivery files. Review process: 1. Internal reviews before client presentation. 2. Structured feedback forms with specific revision requests. Tools: Monday.com for project tracking, Figma for collaborative design, Dropbox for file sharing. Quality control: spelling/grammar check, brand guideline compliance, technical specifications verification.
