ABOUT
Make Creative is a friendly boutique design studio based in Mt Eden, Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau. For over a decade, founder Emma (that’s me!) has been creating thoughtful, effective and well crafted design solutions for a diverse range of clients. Working with Make Creative means you work directly with the designer from the initial briefing all the way through to final artwork. When needed I collaborate with other talented specialists such as copywriters, marketing experts, photographers, illustrators, and web developers. These close working relationships allow projects to be completed with creativity and professionalism.
Make Creative is lead by Art Director Emma. With a Visual Communication Degree from Unitec, her industry experience includes working at some of the worlds leading publishing houses as an Art Director. Following this she formed Make Creative in 2010 with the purpose of working with people who share her values and commitment to doing things well.

MAKE CREATIVE PROCESS
1. DESIGN BRIEF
Every project is uniquely different, which is why it’s integral to create a brief outlining your needs. We will also discuss budget and time line expectations.
3. SKETCH AND CONCEPTUALISE
Following a brainstorm session I produce numerous concepts based on the brief that you provide and my research. I present concepts along with reasons behind each concept.
5. DELIVER AND SUPPORT
The design is complete. I hand over the final files and the designs get put into action.
2. RESEARCH
The foundation of any project relies on good research and analysing the information collected. I will look at understanding your business, taking into consideration target audience, competitors business goals and visual preferences.
4. PRESENT AND REVISE
Make changes to the design based on your feedback, if needed. I send revised copies and we communicate until you are happy with the final product.
