 Visualization 

 Challenge 

 Being a budding Branding / Communication designer in the industry , I find the ability to work well and   fruitfully on a client project of great importance . To possess an open and empathetic approach towards   the client ’s requirements is a major start to lead a successful project . Since the client is not well   equipped to know what their projects really need in terms of design thinking and process , it ’s up to a   designer to facilitate that service to the client at each step forward by keeping them in the know and   making them feel like a part of the process . So challenge here is to make the client aware that why their   existing design strategy is not working well . It ’s important to make the problem clear that what exactly   needs a solution , which most client do not know and thus will be unwilling to invest in the project   further . 

 Selection 

 So for the above mentioned challenge I chose ‘ Visualization ’ as the tool of preference . The reason why I   found that visualization works best for the challenge is because it helps in starting out on a project with   an unclear brief or with seemingly limited outcomes , which is how most client based projects start out .   The design process of visualization aids in keeping a track of the project flow and not losing direction in   between . The structure provided here will ensure in coming up with most productive and functional   solutions and to take them up to prototyping and testing among consumers . This process is an umbrella   solution to most of the steps involved in coming up with a brand identity for a client , from confusion to a   cost effective and revenue generating solution . 

 Application 

 So starting out it ’s important to have it out in the clear the aspiration of your client . After listening , I   write out the questions that need to be addressed in order to further proceed . Then I like to go through   their recent old projects , to try to understand their outlook on those and how they performed in   market . This gives me a chance to understand the client mindset better and include them in the process .   I read them out all the points I noted down and draw it out for them if possible , in order for them to   understand what works and what does n’t and to make sure we ’re on the same page . Afterwards I get to   do my own research on the given information and ongoing trends for the next pitch to the client . During   this interaction I briefly brush through the previously discussed points regarding the brief of the project .   After presenting my new ideas for the new project , I like to discuss with the client on why it works in   terms of design . Any changes from the client are done , and further worked on . I make sure to keep   building client ’s confidence by providing evidence from consumer testing on a qualitative basis . This   helps in persuading the client to open up their mindset for the growth of the company by investing in a   seemingly risky but beneficial project . 

 Insight 

 Whenever I have conducted this approach with clients , it has always resulted in positive feedback from   them and even for myself . I have been told by few of them that how being involved in the design   process made them feel better about themselves as a creative , since working in black and white strips   them off the freedom to visualize . I even noticed how some people who were pretty adamant on   sticking to how they do things , eventually agree with the presented result from consumer testing   results . There is also much higher chances of satisfaction and appreciation among the clients at the   completion of project . 

 Approach 

 Ever since I learned visualization as a designer it has helped me better in aiding a client ’s requirement   for a project especially to meet deadlines on time . Each step is clear and entire process is systematic   much to my way of working , which is why I will follow the same process of visualization further in design   development and while working for a client .
