The design production process refers to the step-by-step workflow that designers follow to create and produce various design projects, whether it’s graphic design, web design, product design, or any other creative endeavor. The process can vary depending on the specific project and the designer’s preferences, but here is a general outline of the design production process:
- Project Brief and Research: Understand the client’s requirements and objectives for the project. Conduct research to gather information about the target audience, competitors, and industry trends.
- Concept Development: Brainstorm ideas and concepts based on the research and project brief. Create rough sketches or drafts to explore different design directions.
- Wireframing (for Digital Designs): For web or app design projects, create wireframes to outline the layout and structure of the interface. This step focuses on the placement of elements and user flow.
- Design Prototyping (for Digital Designs): Develop interactive prototypes to demonstrate the user experience and functionality of the design before moving into the final design phase.
- Visual Design: Create the final visual design using digital tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or other design software. This step includes refining the color scheme, typography, imagery, and overall aesthetics.
You will learn the following:
- Design graphics for multimedia
- Design interactive media
- Design creative elements with digital photographic images
- Deliver interactive media content.
- Design and develop two-dimensional animation elements.
