Here's

how we

work

So, you want to know more

That’s great! Pop us an email at info@thepencilbox.co.za or get in touch via our contact page and tell us a little about yourself and what you’re looking for. We’ll respond with our Media Kit which will give you a clear idea of what we have to offer.

Feels like a good fit

Awesome! Let’s get started. We’ll send a questionaire via email or set up a time to meet. We’re a boutique design studio with lots of enquiries, so our design queue fills up quickly. If you accept our quotation, we’ll require 50% payment to begin.

Cue the design queue

Once we’ve received your payment, we’ll look at our calendars and work out a timeline that suits us both. You’ll need to complete our creative brief and supply us with all information needed to get started. And then we’re off!

The first draft

A collection of concepts and our visual interpretation of your brief. Choose your direction and let us know if it’s working (or not). Once we have your comments we’ll refine your design for up to three rounds of revisions until it’s ready to roll out.

This is how we roll

Roll out of artwork to all elements required happens once you’ve signed off on your concept design. We’re almost there! You’d need to make sure that all information is supplied correct and approved so that we can continue on your final artwork.

Final artwork

Once your designs are approved and you’re all smiles, we’ll do a little happy dance. We’ll prep your artwork for the mediums you need them in. We’ll require the remainder of your payment before supplying you with final artwork.
