In the world of design, every project begins with a spark of creativity.

At Dream Media Designs, we specialize in transforming ideas into captivating visuals for our clients. Whether it’s branding, web design, or social media, a creative process is the driving force behind our success.

Understanding the Client’s Vision

Before embarking on any design project, we start by understanding our client’s vision. Let’s take a look at some real-world examples to illustrate this crucial step:

Erie Fitness Now: A gym in Erie, PA, approached us with a mission to motivate people to embark on their fitness journey. To support this, we established a strong brand identity that echoed their energetic vibe and friendly approach to fitness. This involved not only creating an engaging website but also ensuring brand cohesiveness across their social media platforms. The process began by aligning our design with their mission.

Raw Pet Pantry: This unique business focused on providing balanced meals for dogs, including raw animal body parts. Our challenge was to make these raw ingredients appealing to the target audience – dog owners. We adopted an illustrative approach to emphasize the main ingredients, crafting a fun and approachable logo. This transformed their brand identity and made them appear more approachable to their human customers.

Dr. Lisa Mainier: Dr. Lisa Mainier, a family practice physician in Erie, PA, needed a website that reflected her holistic approach to wellness. We designed a clean, professional, and approachable website that prioritized patient comfort and easy navigation. This project was about understanding Dr. Lisa Mainier’s philosophy and translating it into a visually pleasing, informative website.

Creative Ideation and Branding

Once we grasp the client’s vision, it’s time to unleash our creative minds. We brainstorm ideas, draw inspiration, and embark on the journey of creating a unique brand identity. In the case of Erie Fitness Now, we used vibrant colors and energetic graphics to resonate with their target audience. For Raw Pet Pantry, the illustrative approach allowed us to turn raw ingredients into an appealing and fun concept.

Research: We start by immersing ourselves in the client’s world. For Erie Fitness Now, this meant understanding the fitness industry and the motivations of people who want to start their fitness journey. For Raw Pet Pantry, it meant delving into the world of pet nutrition and the preferences of dog owners.

Client’s Unique Selling Points: We identify what sets the client apart. What makes Erie Fitness Now different from other gyms? What makes Raw Pet Pantry’s approach to dog food unique? For Dr. Lisa Mainier, it was her holistic approach to wellness. This unique selling proposition becomes the cornerstone of our creative process.

Concept Development: Drawing inspiration from the client’s vision, we develop concepts that capture the essence of their brand. For Erie Fitness Now, we wanted to convey energy, motivation, and a friendly atmosphere. This translated into the use of vibrant colors and energetic graphics.

Design Development

With ideas in place, we start developing the design. This is where the magic happens. For Dr. Lisa Mainier, we combined clean and professional aesthetics, ensuring the website radiated the same warmth and care similar to her holistic approach to wellness. We focus on detail, carefully choosing fonts, colors, and images to convey the desired message.

Here’s a more detailed look at our approach to branding:

Logo Design: The logo is often the keystone of a brand’s visual identity. It serves as the symbol that people recognize and associate with the brand. For Raw Pet Pantry, we didn’t just design a logo; we crafted an emblem that was not only fun and approachable but also reflected the brand’s commitment to providing balanced meals for dogs. The logo tells a story.

Color Palette: Colors have a lasting impact on shaping a brand’s perception. We meticulously choose colors that evoke the desired emotions and messages. For Erie Fitness Now, we selected vibrant and energetic colors to inspire motivation and positivity among their target audience. In Dr. Lisa Mainier’s case, we employed a calming palette to mirror her holistic approach to wellness and make potential clients feel at ease.

Typography: Typography plays a pivotal role in brand identity. Different typefaces convey distinct emotions and messages. Our choice of fonts is deliberate and aligns with the brand’s personality. In Dr. Lisa Mainier’s branding, we opted for professional and easily readable fonts to underscore her expertise and approachability.

Design Elements: Branding often incorporates unique design elements that set the brand apart. For Raw Pet Pantry, this included the creation of playful illustrations and graphics that translated raw ingredients into a fun and inviting concept. These elements reinforced the brand’s messaging. We also got a little playful with her “Raw-ffice” hours, a play on Office Hours.

Consistency: Consistency is key to brand success. We ensure that the brand identity we’ve forged remains consistent across all platforms and touchpoints. This consistency reinforces the brand’s image and makes it easily recognizable. It’s about creating a lasting impression.

These steps help channel the client’s vision into a visual narrative that captures the audience’s imagination.

Feedback and Refinement

Design is an iterative process. We believe in seeking feedback from our clients to ensure the final product aligns perfectly with their vision. It’s this communication loop that allows us to make adjustments and refinements.

Delivery and Beyond

Once the design is approved, we deliver the final product. However, our relationship with clients doesn’t end here. For Raw Pet Pantry, we continued to provide support by maintaining a friendly look throughout their website, ensuring consistent brand identity.

A creative process is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor it to the unique needs and vision of each client. The journey begins with understanding the client’s goals, unleashing creativity, developing designs, seeking feedback, and delivering a product that transforms their brand identity.
