The MET Design Print Design Process We will meet to discuss of the history, current status and goals of the company, in general. Review and analysis of existing print materials. Discuss the goals of the current project. MET Design submits a proposal and the client reviews it. MET Design revises the proposal according to the client's comments and resubmits it, along with an agreement. MET Design begins the project by showing the client one rough comp of the layout. MET Design refines the layout based on the number of versions/revisions included in the proposal. Once the client approves the design, the production phase begins. When production is completed, a final printed comp or PDF file showing all pages will be submitted for sign off. MET Design delivers the final document to the printer. The printer submits a blueprint and a color match print for sign off. Final revisions are made and the job is printed and delivered to the client (if it will be distributed by the client), the publication (if it is a print ad) or sent to a mail house (if it is a direct mail project). MET Design Deliverables For Print Design Project A QuarkExpress or InDesign file along with all imported files and fonts are delivered to the printer.
