Silent 7 Studio

Our process

Create, plan and define your marketing options…

Our Process starts with a focus on your marketing objectives…and concludes by marrying these objectives with compelling content and alluring design.

Client Responsibilities:

To expedite your project and assure a smooth process we will need your help compiling the critical components of your new media.

1. A signed contract with first payment. Acknowledgement that you have read, understand and will comply with this document.

2. Approved technical copy – this gives us insight into your business…we will expand upon your submitted text and enhance it for marketing, sales and search engines. You must have marketing consulting in your contract for this service; otherwise you must submit final approved copy EXACTLY as how it should be displayed in your media.

3. Approved Images or ideas for an image search or photo shoot decided upon and fulfilled until approved images are submitted. Images for print will need to be proper resolution.

For web projects we will need an approved outline before we can start. We will work with you to create easy to use categories that lead a prospect in the desired course of action.

4. Approvals/Revisions made timely via our online system. Tracking and managing revisions and suggestions can delay any project. Our online system tracks time, assures delivery, distributes your request to our team and stores a database record. Without using this process…emails, phone and fax requests can cause project chaos…so please use our system or call us if you have a complex change that may require special attention. WE will walk you through your first revision, just to make sure you are comfortable submitting your request.

5. A “vector” (EPS) file of your logo, if applicable. If you cannot get a vector file, which allows the file to be properly sized for any format, we can make it for you for an additional fee. Using logos that are not properly formatted will result in poor display quality.

The Silent 7 Studio Step by Step Process:

Step 1 – Discovery

A Project Start Form is filled out that allows us valuable insight into your organization. After reviewing this information we will call you to schedule a meeting or conference call to discuss a creative/marketing direction for each of your contracted projects. Themes, marketing ideas, etc. are refined and approved.

Step 2 – Content & “Wordsmithing”

Client provides technical copy and outline of all relative categories, which is then optimized and edited if necessary by the Silent 7 Studio team and tweaked until client approves the document(s) and provides the final version in electronic WORD format, labeled by all relevant categories. (If full copywriting services are required we can provide this to you by separate agreement.)

Images are provided, chosen in a meeting together, or developed as agreed. (Scanning additional) To accelerate the design process for web site and some print projects Silent 7 Studio will accept partial text, with an initial approved home page/cover message and outline of all categories.

Step 4 – Comp & Story Board Design

Based on Discovery and provided approved content our team will design and develop a visual concept(s) and post them to our CLIENT LOUNGE for your on-line or in-house review. If needed, we will design additional “comps” (3 max).

Sub pages, multi-page documents & presentations will be comp’d using a template storyboard for approval. Logos will consist of several comps of related ideas. Once a general design theme is approved we move onto specific revisions.

Step 5– Revisions

The revision process is simple, precise and includes two rounds (Sessions) of unlimited revisions to posted comps to “tweak” your design to your complete satisfaction! Each submittal, no matter how many revisions are requested, count as one of your two sessions, so use as many alterations as necessary and make sure you have all necessary approvals and opinions before submitting.

After a revised concept (web only) is approved there is an additional round for text/technical changes only. Note: Graphic changes made for web or print media after design approval can be extremely time consuming and will incur additional charges. Revisions must use our online system, unless otherwise agreed to.

Step 6 – Fulfillment

Web and interactive products are coded and tested while print projects are pre-pressed and a final proof is made. Revisions made after a proof will incur additional expenses. After approval the products are uploaded or sent to press. Payment is made.
