This subtopic will guide you through key aspects of proofing your final design and ensuring client approval. It includes the following sections:
- Proofing and final checks
- Confirming final design with client and obtaining approval.
Proofing and final checks
Before finalising your designs, it is crucial to conduct comprehensive proofing and final checks on both your 2-D final design and your 3-D rendering.
This phase ensures that your work is free of errors or inconsistencies and ensures that your final design is visually accurate and adheres to production specifications (i.e. technically sound), preventing potential production issues.
What’s the difference between proofing and final checks?
The terms proofing and final checks are often used interchangeably in design processes, but they refer to different aspects of quality assurance in design work.
Here’s a breakdown of the differences between the two terms:
| Aspect | Proofing | Final checks |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Evaluate the design for accuracy and adherence to specifications | Conduct a last review to ensure readiness for production |
| Focus | Visual elements (colour accuracy, typography, layout) | Overall compliance with technical specifications and final design quality |
| Process | Reviewing drafts or samples to identify errors; often includes client feedback | Checking the entire design to confirm no errors exist and it meets production requirements |
| Outcome | Results in a corrected version of the design approved for final checks | Confirms that the design is ready for production without further changes |
What is proofing?
Proofing refers to the systematic evaluation of a design to ensure it meets the required specifications and aligns with your intent as the graphic designer.
Tip
Elevate your design: Find a fresh pair of eyes.
When proofing, take a step back and view your design from a fresh perspective. Shift your focus to the overall composition, checking for consistency, clarity, and alignment with your project objectives. Don’t hesitate to seek feedback from peers or stakeholders; a new set of eyes can often catch details you might overlook.
Why is proofing important?
Proofing serves three crucial purposes:
- Quality assurance: Proofing helps identify any errors or inconsistencies in the design, such as typos, misalignments, or colour inaccuracies, before final production.
- Technical compliance: Proofing ensures that your design adheres to specific technical specifications, including dimensions, resolution, and colour modes, prevents potential production issues.
- Client approval: Proofing provides an opportunity to present the design to clients or stakeholders, ensuring that everyone agrees on the final version before moving forward.
What about final checks?
Final checks involve a comprehensive review of the entire design to confirm that it meets all technical specifications and is ready for production.
During this stage, examine the design for any remaining issues or inconsistencies that may have been overlooked during proofing. This includes verifying file formats, ensuring dimensions match project requirements, and confirming that all elements are correctly aligned and free of technical glitches.
By meticulously conducting these checks, you can ensure that your design is polished and fully prepared for its intended output – and for your client!
How do you conduct proofing and final checks?
Begin by conducting a thorough final review of your design, similar to how you reviewed your previous iterations against production (i.e. technical) specifications. This step ensures that your final 2-D design and 3-D rendering meet all technical and aesthetic requirements.
During the review, verify that each element of your design is free from errors, visually accurate, and suitable for the intended production method.
Then, systematically review the design to ensure it meets the specifications and aligns with your vision. You can use proofing and final checks criteria similar to those in the following checklist to guide your proofing and final check process:
| Proofing and final checks criteria | Review criteria items | What to look out for |
|---|---|---|
| Design quality | Colour accuracy verified | Do the colours meet the specifications? |
| Typography is consistent | Are font styles used uniformly throughout? | |
| All graphic elements are properly aligned | Are elements aligned as per the layout? | |
| Visual hierarchy is clear | Does hierarchy help guide the viewer’s eye? | |
| All 3-D elements are properly rendered | Are all elements rendered without errors? | |
| Textures and materials are applied correctly | Do textures give a realistic appearance? | |
| Visual appeal of 3-D elements | Are 3-D elements engaging and well-crafted? | |
| Technical specifications | File dimensions match project requirements | Do the dimensions correspond to the specifications? |
| Resolution is adequate for intended output | Is output resolution high enough for quality? | |
| Appropriate file formats (e.g., .jpg, .png) | Are files correctly formatted for delivery? | |
| Final checks | All elements meet project specifications | Do final elements align with project objectives? |
| No spelling or grammatical errors in text | Has text been thoroughly checked? | |
| Design is free of technical glitches | Is the final render free of glitches? |
Tip
Final touches: Leave room for last-minute edits.
After completing your proofing and final checks, allocate time for any last-minute adjustments based on feedback or new insights. This ensures your design is polished and ready for final submission!
Confirming final design with client and obtaining approval
Once you’ve completed proofing and final checks, the next step is to confirm the final design with key stakeholders and secure their approval. This process ensures that all parties are aligned on the final version and that the design meets the client's expectations and project objectives.
