Creating your design concept
Your client signed the proposal! But the lease requires the project to be open in 90 days! You got this. You head to your office filled with energy...
Here are 7 steps to get you running (in the right direction) towards a concept that will exceed expectations
One week till you present your design concept
DEFINE THE PROGRAM.
Client’s dream?
Their brand identity? Its concept?
Space physical challenges?
Customer demographic?
Building code considerations?
Define concept presentation deliverables?
A program is your guard rails. Push against it with ideas, it’ll keep you on course & from falling into disaster.
Now walk away.
4. GET DISTRACTED.
Take a deep breath.
Time for a mental break - go for a walk.
Work on another project.
Socialize your thoughts. Design is a team effort.
Break over.
7. PRESENT.
Go be yourself, be enthusiastic, have fun, be confident. Based on the work you have done, it’s clear you have thought about your client’s success.
