To The Moon And Back

As a designer, I try to move away from printing projects because one, I don’t have a printer to see what the color looks like, and two, I’m just not comfortable working on huge banners or tarpaulins. But when a client asks for one, then do my best to deliver. The first thing that I ask is where they are planning to print it. Knowing which printing company is a huge deal because then I can get to their website and download one of their templates if they have any. Once I have the template, all I need to do is draw the designs that I have in mind using the specs provided. After that, it’s just a matter of approval and minor changes then the final work will be sent to the printing company. It’s now up to them to match the colors so it will look as nice. Plus I don’t have to worry about unnecessary details / steps (unless they pay me extra to handle it) like account setup, credit cards, deliveries, type of paper, etc.
