What does Fevkalade know?

In order to do our job, we are equipped with technical and theoretical information in various fields and we continue to learn new things.

01

Design principles and theories are the foundations of design education and they strongly guide the design practice.

02

Typography is the technique of arranging textual elements through parameters like typefaces, point size, line length, etc. It is the most important aspect of visual communication.

03

History of design, of art, and of writing help the designer make decisions with good reasons and references.

04

Usability and readability research along with theories of perception, are useful resources in constructing the interaction between visual products and people.

05

Following the trends over the world updates and enriches the designer’s vision.

How does Fevkalade work?

There may be differences between projects but our work progress follows a general pattern.

PRESENTATIONS + DESIGN

DELIVERY

01

The client contacts us for a project. We learn about the details and the expected deadline in a meeting. Then we send a PDF document including our price quote and the presentation-delivery dates.

02

If all is approved, we set another meeting to get our design brief.* In this meeting, we collect as much information as we can about the project and the expectations of our client. This gives us the references and the objective, rational reasons we need when we design; this is why a thorough and consistent brief is of critical importance. The more information we get on the content and the expectations, the more powerful and accurate our designs become.

* A summary expressing the client’s needs, perspective, and expectations.

03

We start working after the advance payment has been done. In accordance with the approved schedule, we share our first output in a presentation meeting or through email.

04

We continue to work in order to generate new alternatives* if needed, or to finalize the project if we’re on the right track.

* Within an upper limit.

05

In the end, we deliver all of the designed items after the final payment has been done.

We can give support for the printing process but the printing expenses are met by client.
