The Noisemaker Process.
Step 2 | Creative Thinking Exploration
After signing the contracts and filling out the onboarding questionnaire to ensure alignment, we can start the moodboarding and creative thinking exploration process. Timelines vary, but we typically deliver a presentation of two to three moodboards or visual directions for your brand within two weeks.
This is just the beginning of our creative discussion and collaboration. There is no right or wrong answer with a single visual direction, but we will work together to figure out what you are drawn to and why. After that, the design process can begin.
Step 1 | Consultation
We will schedule a virtual call to discuss your design and brand needs, timeline, and how they align with the Noisemaker mission. Before the call, you will receive an onboarding questionnaire about your business, organization, or cause, your overall goals, and what inspires you.
This will help us understand the core mission of your brand or initiative and guide us in establishing design directions. We will then confirm your pricing package or retainer contract selection before moving forward.
Step 3 | Design Rounds
This is the really fun part, y'all! Your brand or project starts to come to life in two rounds of creative / design.
Depending on your package, you'll see logo or illustration sketches, color palette options, and Noisemaker's specialty: iconic patterning. Any additional rounds of revision are dependent on your package selection.
Step 4 | Final Design Handoff
Once the designs are finalized, Noisemakers will provide all assets with multiple versions and accessibility levels. You will likely receive a file that you can access via WeTransfer. In addition, Noisemakers will provide a brand guidelines PDF that summarizes the look and feel of your refreshed brand. For one year post-handoff, Noisemakers will offer occasional consultation on the dos and don'ts of using the assets.
However, if you do not establish an ongoing relationship through your contract option or hourly as an additional service, Noisemakers will not create any new assets.
Step 5 | Future Brand Planning
This step is optional, depending on the chosen contract type and whether your project requires follow-up work like a product photography shoot, website building, etc. If your brand, Noisemakers, is set to have an ongoing relationship, you will be provided with the protocol, expectations, and online forms for additional design requests.
