How Design Projects Work

You share your business goals, design service required, existing brand assets, audience overview, required deliverables, preferred style direction, timeline, usage requirements, and any content or materials you already have.

StudioHive reviews your requirement, checks scope clarity, and confirms what additional information is needed before the brief is structured.

That a design enquiry has been received and the scope is clear enough to proceed to brief stage.

A clear requirement at the outset shapes the entire project — scope, deliverables, timeline, and cost can only be confirmed once the requirement is understood.

You confirm the full creative scope: deliverables, revision rounds, source file requirements, usage rights, timelines, third-party asset arrangements, print or production requirements, and any content, copy, or assets you will supply.

StudioHive structures a clear creative brief from the confirmed information — covering all agreed deliverables, design direction parameters, and project terms.

Agreed scope, deliverables, usage rights, file formats, revision rounds, timelines, third-party requirements, and project terms before any design work begins.

A signed-off brief prevents scope creep, misaligned expectations, and disputes about what's included — protecting both studio and client.

You confirm visual preferences, brand references, imagery direction, tone, and any existing assets that inform the design direction.

StudioHive defines the creative direction from the brief — including visual style, design approach, colour direction, type choices, and initial layout thinking.

The creative direction and design approach before full design production begins.

Confirming direction before full production avoids significant rework if the visual approach is not aligned with your expectation.

You receive design concepts and review against the agreed brief, your business requirements, and the confirmed creative direction.

StudioHive produces design concepts across the agreed deliverables — applying the creative direction, brand system, and brief requirements.

Design concepts are presented against the confirmed brief for review and feedback.

Concept stage establishes the core visual direction before refinement — your feedback here shapes the final design.

You provide structured feedback within the agreed revision rounds — referencing the brief rather than introducing new requirements outside scope.

StudioHive applies revisions within the agreed revision scope — refining the design to meet confirmed requirements.

Revisions are applied within the agreed revision rounds as confirmed in the brief.

Structured revisions within agreed rounds ensure quality refinement without scope creep or uncontrolled changes.

You confirm final approval on the design before assets are prepared for export.

StudioHive prepares final assets in the agreed export formats, file types, sizes, colour profiles, and handover structure — including any usage guidance, asset sets, or templates confirmed in scope.

Final assets are prepared to the agreed specifications and handover structure.

Correct file preparation ensures your assets are ready for their intended use — print, digital, web, or production.

You receive the final design assets as confirmed in the agreed scope and handover structure.

StudioHive delivers the final files, confirms handover, and provides any usage guidance as agreed.

Final asset delivery as per the agreed scope, formats, and handover documentation.

A structured handover ensures you have everything you need — in the right formats, correctly named, and clearly documented.
