More or less, this is how the design process for your project will be done:

Initial Consultation
Client and designer will discuss company background, project specifications, and initial ideas.

Company :Narnia Zoo
Service:Logo Design
Specifications:Simple design to be used on company stationery. Would like logo to evoke the beauty of wildlife and cater to adults more than children.

Sketches
Designer will take information received from client regarding the project and will come up with 10 hand-drawn sketches.

Roughs/Proposal
Two or three of the sketch ideas will be refined and presented in half-scale, in black and white.
A project proposal will also be written out, outlining the different parts of the project and the cost estimate.

Second Consultation
Client and designer will review design roughs and select one design to develop. The project proposal will be discussed, contract will be signed, and upon receipt of first deposit, design work will begin.

Design Work
Designer will work with client information and project specifications to refine the chosen design. Various color schemes will be tested and presented at this stage.

Third Consultation
Client and designer will discuss developed design and make final changes.

Final Consultation/Completion of Project
Client and designer will finalize the last design. Upon receipt of final payment, design will be uploaded to client's server, or design materials will be delivered by CD.
