Hi guys,
Have my assessment coming up in the next few weeks and still concerned by our design processes. We are a small media company, with one graphic designer whos main job is layout design for promotional material, menus, magazines etc.
The way the system works is the account manager will book in a job, liaising with the client and communicating with the designer. The Account mgr or client will usually review/approve the design periodically before a final sign off via email of finished product pre production. Changes to artwork are stored as clearly identified updated versions in the job file.
Now I've tryed to get the designer to fill in a design planning sheet to plan the various design stages and deadlines etc, but it's not happening., he will do it half heartedly or not at all. I dont want to force it on him as if he doesnt use it correctly its just going to be paperwork for the sake of ISO and not useful to our company.
My question is how else can I satisfy the clause for design planning, particularly design stages and their subsequent review? I think the testing / proofing and approval procedures we have in place are robust enough.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
