Nail your Process Back in the day, we used to be a bit goosey-loosey with our approach to projects. Under the guise of ‘being fluid’ or wanting to be individualistic in our approach to project delivery, we’d make up our process as we went along. ‘Process’ aka, writing down a set of tasks and following them seemed super rigid. That is until the sh*t hit the fan with unhappy clients, out-of-scope work and a frustrated agency team. What if we all came together and finally agreed on how projects should run? And then we committed to following the process. No exceptions, no buts, and no making it up anymore. That was a pivotal moment. From that point on, we shifted up a gear as an agency. No more free work, we had happy clients and way better creative outputs (because we stopped having to think about our process each time and focussed more on the work). Stop making it up as go, and start nailing your creative process every time. #profits #process #projectmanagement #creativeprocess #freelancedesigner #designprocess #designer #projectmanagementapp #graphicdesigner #designstudio #designtips #outlign #design #brand #brandingdesign #agency #branddesign #brandingagency #branding #webdesign #graphicdesigner #logodesigner #designstudio #agencylife #moderndesign #designlogo #webdesigner

3 process Myths Let's bust three myths about agency process right now. Number one: Process is too rigid for creative projects. So you hear this a lot from designers and other creatives. They will tell you that you can't put too much structure around what they do because creativity is messy and unpredictable. The truth is that's exactly why you need good process. At the end of the day, design is a business and so you need a good process to make sure you're working within the boundaries of the project. Be it time, number of revisions allowed in the scope, or other client requirements - a good process leaves enough room for predictable creative output. So everybody wins. Number two: Process is too repetitive. The misconception here is that if you do the same workflow over and over, you're gonna get the same formulaic outcome. But following a good process is a lot like honing any other craft. The more you follow your process, the more opportunities you see for improvement. And since you've already got a good structure in place, you can roll those learnings back into your templates and then the next time around you'll do even better work. Number three, process is too hard to implement. Look, we've struggled with this in our own agency. Implementing and sticking to the process definitely takes time. You have to sit down, map out your workflow, document everything, and then train the team. Good habits can be hard to form. But the truth is like any good habit, once you've done the hard yards to implement it, you'll wonder why you waited so long. And the real kicker is when you realise how many dollars in project profit you've left on the table from not having good process. So embrace the pain and thanks us later. #processmyths #clientapprovals #profits #process #projectmanagement #creativeprocess #freelancedesigner #designprocess #designer #projectmanagementapp #graphicdesigner #designstudio #designtips #outlign #design #brand #brandingdesign #agency #branddesign #brandingagency #branding #webdesign #graphicdesigner #agencylife #artdirector #creativedirector
