At Hatch, our team of seven designers optimises the spirit of collaboration and versatility. Our team thrives on a shared understanding and participation in all aspects of the design process. From animation to branding, illustration to retouching, each member contributes to every stage, blending our insights to create truly cohesive and innovative designs. Let's take you behind the scenes to see how our collective creative process unfolds.
The Start: Collective Ideation
Our creative journey begins with a group ideation session, where every voice is heard. In this collaborative environment, ideas flow freely; each designer brings their own unique perspective to the table, allowing us to explore a wide range of creative avenues. This approach ensures that our concepts are not only diverse, but also richly layered with insights from every member of our team.
Blending Skills: Unified Design Development
As ideas take shape, the team works in unison to develop and refine these concepts. This phase sees a seamless integration of skills, with each designer contributing in a fluid, dynamic manner. Ensuring that we are constantly collaborating and bouncing ideas off of each other allows for a truly creative solution to be found for any design problem.
Client-Centric Approach: Collaborative Revisions
Client feedback is a critical part of our process. We engage our clients as partners, ensuring their vision is interwoven throughout our design journey. Here, the versatility of our team shines again. With a collective understanding of various design facets, we can swiftly and effectively implement feedback, making revisions that resonate with the client’s vision and needs.
Refinement: Collective Polishing
As designs near completion, every team member contributes to the polishing phase. This is where our collective approach truly shines. An idea sparked by one designer is refined by another, and then polished by a third. The result is a design that has been shaped and perfected from a number of perspectives, ensuring a high level of refinement and attention to detail.
Review and Delivery: Ensuring Collective Excellence
Every project undergoes a rigorous collective review before it reaches the client. This is where our collaborative spirit is most evident. Each team member reviews the work, providing insights and suggestions. This multi-faceted review process ensures that the final product isn't just the vision of one designer, but the collective excellence of the entire team.
Reflective Growth: Learning as a Collective
Post-project, we reflect on our process and design as a collective team discussing what went well, and what could have been refined for a smoother design process. Did we respond correctly to client feedback? Was there a design concept that had potential, but wasn’t developed fully? These are just a few of the questions that we ask ourselves as a team, and each time we reflect on our process, we refine it, subsequently becoming a much stronger design team.
At Hatch, our creative process is a testament to the power of collaborative creativity. With a team that embraces multiple roles and skills, we transcend traditional design boundaries, resulting in a more dynamic, versatile, and innovative approach to graphic design. Join us on this collaborative journey, and witness how our unified creative vision can bring your brand's story to life in the most extraordinary way.
