Many businesses have been helping out by donation money or donation their time. Australian Ramp Design has given up the royal easter show to come to Wagga and help with setting up the ramps for the motorbike riders. Quick Print printed 700 posters for us to put all around the Riverina and what a great job they did. I have been lucky enough to work with some great people and I am very honoured to be apart of this event. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the event as I have already committed to helping my sister with her business in Griffith at the Unique Markets, you may have seen me advertise her business Bella Lane Designz.

The event will be the biggest Wagga has ever seen! If you are unable to attend the event the event with be filmed on the day and hopefully we will be able to purchase it on DVD.

The poster has been a huge hit, I had the Daily Advertiser ring me and asked if they could put it in their paper as well as the Riverina News. The poster has been put in every town around the Riverina plus will be printed on shirts for the crew on the day. I was so excited when Duggie told me he showed the poster to Justice Crew and some of the Sydney motorbike riders and they all loved it and gave me great feedback. It has been a great little ride and I know all the hard work has paid off

Here are some file formats Graphic Designers work with:

PDF: 

(Portable Document Format) A PDF is a file format developed by Adobe Systems that can be universally downloaded and viewed by any computer that has the Adobe Acrobat plug-in. PDF’s are favoured by Graphic Designers.

EPS:

(Encapsulated PostScript File) EPS is a vector format of your logo or artwork. It can be resized without losing image quality. Due to it’s high quality, it is commonly used with print elements such as business cards or brochures.

TIFF:

(Tagged Image File Format) A TIFF is widely supported and works in almost any program. It produces a higher quality image than a JPG or PNG, but is not a vector format like EPS. It is widely used among publishing industries and photographers. It is best used in common things like invoices, page layouts or letterheads.

JPEG:

(Joint Photographic Experts Group) JPEG is a raster file best used for web-based designs because their compressed sizes load quickly. JPG images lose some quality but are great to use for emails, banner designs or anything web-based.

PNG:

(Portable Network Graphics) PNG is a web-based file that does not lose quality when compressed. PNG files were created to improve on the quality of GIF files and are best used for web.

PSD & AI:

(Photoshop) & (Illustrator) PSD & AI files are uncompressed, working files that are created when using Adobe programs. Photoshop is a raster-based program and is mainly used for web-based designs while Illustrator is a vector-based program that is mainly used for logo’s.

Next time you work with a Designer you will now understand what file formats are what.

If you do have a logo and you’re unsure if you need to rebrand yourself, ask yourself these questions:

- Does my logo accurately represent my company?

- Could I stand to gain more business from a professionally-designed logo?

- Am I attracting the right demographic with my identity?

- Has my philosophy/message changed and my logo now seems outdated?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, it’s time to re-brand.

Think of your logo as the face of your business, having a well-designed logo that represents your company is essential to having a successful business. We as humans connect with brand identities and logos are how most consumers remember companies.

Having a professional logo that is updated and modern can help with:

- Attracting  New Customers

- Stand Out from your Competition

- Keep Loyal Customers

- Earn Trust with Professionalism

So if you think you need a logo or you need to update your logo, first step is to contact your local Graphic Designer!

Collecting information from the client is the most important step, you really need to understand your client very thoroughly before you get started. Some designers will ask a client to fill out a questionnaire to help them better understand what they would like.

Research:

After collecting the design brief and understanding it, next is getting to know your client’s business, this is a crucial step in making a logo successful. Research includes reading on the industry itself, sometimes on it’s history and on it’s competitors.

Visual Research:

This is research into the actual logo style. This is where we seek out a look, a style, an approach or attitude, usually to attain a period or style that we are unfamiliar with, or to refresh ourselves with what is new or successful. A designer will usually look at logo’s from similar businesses and critique them, this is where they might get inspiration from.

Sketching & Mind Mapping:

This is the stage where all information is put into play, the designer will sketch out some logo ideas onto paper. When a logo is sketched onto paper it will be unique and will add a dimension to the experience and the whole identity.

Reflection:

Taking breaks is as important as the research and design brief. It is so easy to get stuck in a creative cul-de-sac and get tired of a project and this is why designers take breaks. By taking breaks the designers ideas mature and develop in the back of their head. Most designers also use this stage to get feedback from others.

Presentation:

This is where the designer presents their work to the client. Most designers will present the client with 3 or 4 of the best logos, others will show a range of logo’s to see the client taste. During this stage minor changes may be made (eg colour, positioning, etc)

Celebration:

In a survey conducted to 75 top designers, when the job is finally finished and approved, 31% of designers celebrate by drinking beer, 12% head for chocolate, 22% head off to bed to catch up on sleep and the other 35% can’t celebrate because they must start on the next logo design.

When giving a brief, every designer interprets in their own way and if an assignment is given to 100 different designers, it would return 100 different logos, few of which would resemble each other.

Price estimates can be frustrating for both clients and graphic designers. Here are a few tips on how to get an estimate that is accurate and fair:

1. Be Specific:

The price will depend on what you want. For example if you were looking at getting a booklet designed. How many pages? What size book? Need copyright? Need photo’s? How many booklets do you need? It all depends on what you want and need.

It is the same for a copy writing project. For a client to ask ‘How much do you charge to write a brochure?’ is like asking a contractor, ‘How much do you charge for building a house?’. A graphic designer would need more information before answering that question.

The more specific you are about what you want, whether it be a website, brochure or a catalog, the more accurate the estimate will be.

2. Work It Out:

If you do not have all the answers, be willing to sit down with the graphic designer and work out details of the work you require, a good graphic designer will be willing to help you work out the details and make recommendations.

The graphic designer will understand what you want and what you can afford, they can help you work out a solution that achieves your goals within your budget. Just because a graphic designer sends you a quote doesn’t mean it will be the final bill, you may receive a higher bill at the end.

A client had used an online website to get their logo designed at a much cheaper price than the local graphic designer would have charged. The client was happy with their logo until they discovered they did not receive the logo in a vector format and was only supplied with a jpeg & png files. This made it hard for the client as they needed to put their logo on big trucks and billboards but were unable to as the logo was supplied to them as a low resolution file. The client was unable to get in contact with the original designer and ended up going to their local graphic designer and having the logo retraced and supplied in all formats that were required. The client ended up paying more for the logo then they would have if they went to their local graphic designer to begin with.

3. Be Realistic:

You have a budget of $300 and would like a booklet that advertisers all your products that are in your store plus tells the story of how your business started. Not only do you need the design work done but you need the booklets printed plus your photo’s edited as you had got your friends, friends nephew to take the photo’s who has no experience in photography (don’t laugh this happens more then you think). Let’s be real $300 for a booklet that has 48 pages plus and photo’s that need to be edited?

4. Come Prepared:

The graphic designer will need to know as much information as you can give them, this will help with the correct price of the project. You may not have all the answers to these questions, that’s fine. No professional graphic designer will expect you to know the details of graphic design. But make sure you come prepared with what you do know, your business, your product, your goals, your budget. Have an outline of what you want, maybe bring in some brochures or examples of work you like. Have a good idea of what your message is for your clients who will be given these designs, this means know your customers or potential customers and their needs.

So if you are looking at hiring a graphic designer, make sure you come to the table with as much information as possible. Understand the designer needs your input, it’s your business and the better the designer understands your business, your goals and your needs the more accurate the design quote will be.

Business Cards I have designed can be seen either on my website or facebook page.

When it comes to designs with a lot of text I think typesetting is very important and is a must. Next time you are looking for a Graphic Designer make sure they know what typesetting is, just because their designs look cool and funky is the right message getting across? A Graphic Designer can design you an ad campaign and people may look and say wow that looks great but if the audience is not getting the message what’s the point of the campaign? Has it helped you and your business…. research is most important.

I learnt typesetting when I attended Shillington College in Melbourne while studying Graphic Design, some people hate typesetting but for some reason I LOVE IT, I love when a client comes to me and wants me to design a book or magazine or anything with a lot of text.

I have a bad habit of looking through magazines and picking out everything wrong with the text, so bad my mum has even picked up on what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to text…. she has never been taught but she knows good typesetting when she see’s it

For the Tresor Paris website I will be keeping people up to date with who’s wearing Tresor Paris and how others are wearing it, plus letting people know who’s advertising Tresor and where it can be seen plus lots more.
