The Design Brief
- Writing a design brief is essential when
dealing with any new client. - It defines what the client is looking to achieve.
- It speeds up the design process and is a point of reference for all concerned.
- Less time and money achieving the desired end result.

3 - Task, Target Market, Objectives
What is your target market?
Demographics — Age, gender, income, employment, geography, lifestyle of customers the client is looking to reach.
Objectives – What does the client want to achieve?
Where possible, make the objectives specific and the results measurable.
4 - Deadlines, delivery and hand over to the client
Schedule and deadline – The designer needs to have a realistic, detailed schedule of how the client wants the project to advance, in many cases the design is required for a product launch or exhibition on a specific date. Knowing projected dates will ensure smooth delivery, booking print space at a print company and avoiding rushed errors as deadlines approach.

To create digital growth you have to be able to create digital assets. But a lack of creativity, resource and skill to build them, holds back many a company, as they’re forced to struggle on with outdated sites and assets, unable to take advantage of new opportunities around them. TCE Design has a team of App developers that can realise your concepts in both Apple and Google platforms.
The mobile consumer is now multi-channel, and the digital experience needs to work wherever the customer needs it, and on whatever device they choose. It’s built responsively to work on whatever device you use, very important as Google is now penalising website rankings for those sites that are slow to load and not mobile complaint.
TCE Design has long established links with a number of printers, with high volume purchasing annually we can negotiate the best possible prices along with exceptional service and print quality.
