In our video demonstration, we walk you through our design process, showing you how we can transform your ideas into a stunning visual representation that closely mirrors the final installation.
Step 1: Gathering the Essentials
All we need to get started is a photo of your site and a brief description of what you envision. This could include details like the placement of the sign, the preferred size, colors, and any specific features you want to highlight. With these inputs, our design team can begin crafting a mockup that aligns with your vision.
Step 2: Sketching and Manipulation
In the video, we demonstrate how we use powerful design tools like Adobe Illustrator to start the process. We begin by importing the photo you provide and creating a basic sketch over it. This involves tracing key elements of the site—such as the corners, windows, and other structural features—to ensure that the sign fits perfectly within the space.
By using various editing tools, we manipulate the sketch to match your specifications. For example, we can adjust the proportions, add colors, and tweak other design elements to make sure everything aligns with your expectations.
Step 3: Refining the Design
Once the initial sketch is complete, we move on to refining the design. This includes filling in the colors, adjusting the opacity to blend the design seamlessly with the background, and making sure that all details are accurate and aesthetically pleasing. In the video, you’ll see how we use different tools to remove unnecessary strokes, refine the outlines, and achieve a polished look.
We also pay close attention to the proportions, ensuring that the sign’s dimensions are correct. Whether it’s a small storefront sign or a large roadside display, we make sure that the final design is perfectly scaled to its surroundings.
Step 4: Adding Final Touches
With the design refined, we move on to adding the final touches. This could involve adjusting the lighting effects, enhancing the contrast, or even experimenting with different backgrounds to see how the sign will look under various conditions. In the video, we demonstrate how we make these adjustments to bring out the best in your design.
Finally, we duplicate the design, allowing us to create different versions or make additional tweaks if needed. This flexibility ensures that we can cater to any last-minute changes or preferences you might have.
Step 5: Presenting the Final Mockup
The last step in the process is to present the final mockup to you. By this point, the design closely resembles what the actual sign will look like once installed. You’ll be able to see how it fits within your site, how it interacts with the surroundings, and how it will capture the attention of your customers.
Our goal is to give you a clear and accurate preview of the final product, so you can feel confident in your decision before moving forward with production.
