Requirements

To begin a design project, I always start by reviewing a quick design brief for documentation. This brief helps me to understand the purpose of the design piece. However, some briefs may be incomplete, so I always take the opportunity to request a complete list of requirements at this point. This is important because it allows me to visualize the project timeline and deadlines. In marketing teams, for example, some deadlines may not be reasonably aligned with IT sprints, so it’s important to be aware of this when planning the project.

Inquiries

I need to confirm my design capabilities for any given project. Am I qualified for the job? If the answer is yes, then I proceed. However, if there are any design issues or requirements that need to be considered, please communicate them to me. In cases where I need to revise an older piece, I will have to open each raw file and examine how each element was built using the correct platform, as well as identify any additional assets required, all within a reasonable timeframe.

Project Mngmt.

Personally, I am a big on gantt charts. Jira is the standard for software teams, but my preference is Wrike since the price on them have dropped to undergo more projects. I usually try to make a full week sprint for every task, unless the start of any design piece are edits. I stay away from daily tasks that require feedback the same day.

Brainstorm

When I need to come up with ideas, I find that using a mind map is very helpful. It allows me to quickly jot down ideas and organize my thoughts. Once I have a good list of ideas, I turn them into guidelines to help me create rough drafts more easily. After completing the rough drafts, I revise and refine them to produce the final draft. This process helps me stay organized and produce high-quality work.

Sketches

My usual design process involves creating several quick and rough drafts or engaging in brainstorming sessions, with up to three iterations. Afterward, I select the best design and keep two other options available in case the audience desires to see an alternative. I upload them for proofreading and maintain consistency by making up to three iterations.

Final Design

I design and share in InVision for feedback. After revisions, I organize and export assets.

Handoff

I need to make sure that I am capable enough to handle any given design project. If I am qualified, please go ahead. However, if there are any issues related to design requirements, please communicate them to me. If it’s an older piece that requires revisions, I would need to open each raw file and determine how each piece was created using which platforms and what additional assets are required in a timely manner.

QA

I open a Google Doc and create a table that compares code design and visual design. Then, I edit the CSS code and add my QA notes so that developers can easily make the necessary changes if they choose to. However, this is only applicable for smaller businesses as larger ones typically have their own QA specialists.
