Every brand is in search of their own unique flavour that defines them and leaves a memorable taste in their customer’s mouth. Well, that perfected recipe is not always as easy as it seems. In fact, the process involves a perfect mix of creative ingredients to make for a delectable and captivating end result that not only looks good, but works for your business.
But what exactly is the flop-proof recipe for successful design?
We decided to fill you in on the scoop and make it a little easier for business owners, and even potential clients of Full Cream, to understand. We’ve concocted a list of ingredients and methods we follow to give every brand a unique persona!
Ingredients:
1 X Brief (bare in mind that this is only a guideline and can evolve at any time)
1 X Sense of Humour (trust us, this is an essential part of the process)
1 Cup of Inspiration (the driving force behind creativity)
1 Cup of Conceptual Thinking (because let’s face it, you need to stand out from the crowd)
1 Tablespoon of Quirk (what’s “normal” anyway?)
A generous sprinkle of Passion (this is what we refer to as the secret Full Cream sauce)
1/3 Cup of Attention to Detail (this plays a BIG part in the end result)
250g of Big Ideas (constantly pushing the envelope to ensure ideas that evolve to their full potential)
A dash of Confidence (be brave or don’t do it at all!)
¼ Cup of Patience (we strive for progress, not perfection)
A pinch of Awesomeness (again, self-explanatory, but totally mandatory)
Method (Execution):
1. Meet with the client, upon which we receive a Brief and get chatting over ideas.
2. Head back to base and in a saucepan, bring your Inspiration to the boil.
3. Chop up the Brief into manageable pieces, carefully setting them aside whilst prepping the Big Idea.
4. Use our Sense of Humour to make preparation a breeze (this helps funnily enough).
5. Blend our Quirky Creativity to form a paste that keeps the Big Idea together.
6. When we have the right balance, add the Confidence to stabilise the Big Idea.
7. Then, take the Big Idea and unpack its key elements. Add a little Patience, Awesomeness and Attention to Detail before whipping up a few concepts in a brainstorm. Pull them out when they reach soft peaks.
8. Gently fold in the Concepts along with the Passion. When they are just combined, we place them in a well-oiled dish (over-mixing and overthinking often make them fall flat!).
9. Bake until golden!
10. When ready to unfold, turn out onto a rack to cool down. Trust us, the turnout is pivotal, and doing it too soon is design suicide. We will know when the time is right.
11. Garnish with more Awesomeness and insert into a pdf for optimum delivery.
12. Serve to happy clients and watch them return for seconds and thirds…
