It may be tempting to bypass some of the graphic design process when starting a new project, especially an advertising design project. Many people think it would be easier to start using the software program than to go through the process correctly. However, getting opinions as you go through each process can help avoid problems later on in the project by clarifying things along the way.

When undertaking a project like this you need to be very clear about what the client wants and how they want their product or service to be showcased. They may need an artist who designs logos or business cards, etc. It is important to ask the client questions, such as who is their target audience and do they have examples of the designs they like, as well as what fonts and colors should be used. Of course, you will want to know the deadline and you should ask if there is a specific budget. If they do not offer a budget amount and ask you for a quote, then tell them that you will need to review the project and will get back with them with a price. This will eliminate the possibility of a misunderstanding later.

In the world of advertising the competition is fierce, so your work needs to stand head and shoulders above the rest. For example, when you are working on an advertising design project you will, of course, want to know what the client has in mind, yet you want your work to be creative and unique, as a statement of your skills. This may also lead to more work for you if people like the finished project.
