G-Mo Design has been practicing the art of graphic design since 1995. Logos, print campaigns, web sites, and etc. have been developed for businesses across the country. Equipped with the resources to handle all marketing and communication projects, the standard of acheivement is success.
G-Mo Design has developed a practice through training and experience in all areas of visual communications. Our process is a blueprint that guides us in creative strategy from the first handshake to the final product.
Preparation and organization are the crucial initial steps in developing a successful project in a proficient manner. To begin, it is necessary to communicate ideas with our clients. We want to know the goals, targeted audience, content, style, and function of the prospective project in order to apply efficient marketing strategies. Communication between us and the client is very important in satisfying the demands of each project.
Concepts from the initial research take shape early on. Creative process generally begins with limitless nothingness -- a blank sheet of paper or computer screen. Under the guidelines of the project's demands, ideas form from churning creative energy. A mental construction begins with shapes and forms orchestrated to create a visual image representing the message, characteristics, and objectives of the job. This problem solving stage generates the various directions. These ideas are typically presented to the client as thumbnails and compositions.
Based on preliminary discussions, agreements, and concepts the project is now ready to enter the production phase. Upon further review, the more successful conceptions are created on the computer allowing the client to visualize the evolving characteristics, traits, and personality. Such elements as color, layout, typography, graphics, illustrations, photography, and etc. are explored to best represent the project. Throughout the design phase, our client’s feedback and approval is necessary and appreciated.
The final production phase begins once a definitive direction is approved. The layout and mechanics of the project are considered and tested for execution. For professional print and web projects many variables are determined and addressed. Print projects involve layout, resolution, ink, paper, and printer mechanicals. Web projects involve custom programming solutions (such as html, css, java script, cgi-perl, Flash action script, and etc.), expertise in resolution, file formatting, forms, database management, and etc. While print design requires the production service of a commercial printer, web-design depends on the integration of computer programming and the layout of images and text to appear in a web browser for user interactivity. Expertise in production allows for an outstanding client experience and successful end product.
