About the design process:

  • Through a consultative process, a design concept for the project is agreed. Consultation can be conducted through email, phone or in person. Person-to-person consultation is preferred as design concepts can be talked through more thoroughly and creatively.
  • For larger projects a scope document will be created outlining all the issues so that both parties are clear about the requirements of the design.
  • Mediatician operates from a home base but offers a mobile service to bring the design tools direct to you.
  • Your initial concept is crystallised into visual concept designs
  • The concept designs are refined until a final design is agreed
  • The website, multimedia product or graphic design is then produced into a complete product for your review.
  • Mediatician then liaises with reliable web hosting providers*, multimedia reproduction companies or printers to get your product to the target audience.
  • For websites, a follow-up service to update your site on an ad hoc or regular basis is also offered.
