  • Harmony
  • Unity

The Creative Design Process
    All printed products (magazines, books, labels) are designed first. Designers go through a sequence of steps to create a design that is ready for printing reproduction. The creative design process consists of four major steps:

    1. Thumbnail Sketches
    2. Rough Layouts
    3. Comprehensive Layouts
    4. Camera Ready-Art

    The creative process is aided by the use of computers. Some designers use computers to create thumbnail sketches, rough sketches, comprehensive layouts.

    Designing with a computer can make the design process much easier. This is because the computer makes changes quickly and accurately. Using such technology, a designer can quickly change text and graphics within seconds or minutes.
