Design Process

STEP 1: DESIGN REQUEST FORM SUBMISSION

  • Person requesting design services should click on the button above, fill out the design request form, and hit SUBMIT.
  • The filled-out form is automatically added to a new task within Asana (a task management system used by the marketing dept.). It will appear in the Brand & Comms Work Requests board, and placed into the ARRIVAL column.

STEP 2: TASK ASSIGNED TO A DESIGNER 

  • Priority level and additional task followers are added to the card, and the card is assigned to a designer by the Director of Design.
  • Task will be assigned the same day of form submission.

STEP 3: DESIGN BEGINS 

  • Design may not begin immediately, depending on where it falls in the queue. When the designer does begin, they will mark/flag the task as IN PROGRESS.

STEP 4: DESIGN REVIEW 

  • When the first draft is completed, the designer moves the card into the IN REVIEW column and tags the card followers with a message.
  • Depending on urgency, this may also be accompanied by a message on Slack.
  • **If you are not a member of Asana, the designer will work with you directly via email/Slack.

STEP 5: EDITS/REVISIONS 

  • The requester reviews the draft and provides feedback in the Asana comments section, being sure to TAG THE DESIGNER who is working on the project.
  • If there are changes that need to be made, the requester should then move the card back into the TO DO [DESIGNER NAME] column.
  • When revisions are made, designer will move the task back into the IN REVIEW column and TAG THE REQUESTER.
  • Repeat as needed.
  • Please use the Asana interface for back and forth, not Slack exclusively. There is a Slack Extension that will help you with this.

STEP 6: COMPLETION & ARCHIVAL 

  • When the task is approved, the requester should MARK IT AS COMPLETE. It will automatically move it to the RECENTLY COMPLETED column, which holds the last month’s worth of work.
  • From there, the Director of Design will move it into the Design Archives within Asana where it the entire card will remain available for viewing and referencing.
