There are times when your business will have a special project that requires a professional printer.

Your Bragg Media designer is here to help you! 

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when managing this type of design request:

1. If your project is on a deadline, then be sure to find out what your printer’s turnaround times are before starting the project. If you miss their deadline, then that means your project might have to wait until they are freed up. It’s also a good idea to add extra “just-in-case” time for potential errors in printing or other unexpected delays.
2. Print size and file format matters. Be sure to gather all of the information on your printer’s requirements. This includes whether or not fonts need to be embedded, file size dimensions with bleeds (if there are any), DPI or resolution, CMYK settings, etc.
3. Proof your document thoroughly. Double and triple check spellings, website address, phone numbers, etc. There’s nothing worse than a print product with the wrong information!

Happy creating!

Bragg Media’s designers are only as good as the information we receive. Here are some best practices to ensure your design isn’t just good, it’s great.

Pro Tip: The most effective way to communicate with your project manager is through the Client Portal. You can learn more about how to submit a design request here. 

First, give us good details about your design project. There is no such thing as too much information. Avoid vague terms, such as “I’ll know it when I see it.”

While your subscription comes with unlimited revisions, you’ll end up spending your month on less design projects. Our goal is that you have the creative deliverables that you need to be a success. 

We need specific information so you can get the most value from your design subscription. Here are some questions to consider:

• Who is your target audience?
• What design style do you love?
• What design style do you hate?
• What colors work for your brand?
• What kind of typography makes sense for this project?

Second, give us some examples of what you like. Send us links, screenshots or other files that showcase designs you like. Be prepared to explain what you like about the samples and why.

Third, don’t forget to upload any photos, logos or other design elements that you have. If you need stock photography, we use copyright free images. Let us know what type of images are appropriate for your particular project. On the design request form, there’s a field where you can provide direction on how we should use your media assets.

Bragg Media’s graphic design subscriptions do not include the following:

• Logo Design
• Video Graphics
• Complex Illustrations
• Digital Painting
• Website and App Design
• 3D/CAD
• writing or campaign creation
• Working with printers or other third parties

Bragg Media’s graphic design subscriptions offer an affordable option for professional graphic design. The subscriptions include up to 10 projects per package with unlimited revisions.

Your designer will only work on one design project at a time. 

You can send several design requests at a time. The project manager will review each request and add them to your queue. Once a design project has been approved by you in the portal, we will work on the next project. We depend on good communication from our clients to tell us which projects are a priority.

With the design subscriptions, you could expect the following in one month:

• 6-8 social media graphics
• 1 print advertisement
• 1 double-sided flier with a lot of information
• 2-4 lightly edited photos, such as background removal
• 1 Google Ad with different sizes

This represents an estimate and should not be taken for an exact account. Each client and each project is unique. There also are many factors that contribute to turnaround times. For more information on turnaround times, click here.

Getting started with Bragg Media’s graphic design subscriptions is easy!

1. Visit our pricing page.
2. Sign up with a unique username and password.

5. Login to Bragg Media’s Client Portal and fill out the graphic design project request form.
6. Once your request is ready to rock n’ roll, you’ll receive an e-mail notification to check the portal for downloadable files and to approve or reject the request. You’ll have an opportunity to provide ample feedback.
7. Have a problem? Simply message your project manager through the Client Portal.

Once you submit a design request, your project manager will review all of the information.You will receive a message through the portal with confirmation that your design request has been turned into a project. Your project manager may message you with questions regarding the project or request files if necessary. Turnaround times for when you will receive a proof varies. Generally, the turnaround time is 2-3 business days.

When a proof is ready for your approval …

You will receive an e-mail from the Client Portal. The project manager will assign you a task to approve or reject the project with a deadline of 1 business day.

You must respond to this task in order to move to the next phase in the project’s development.

If we don’t hear back within 1 business day, you’ll receive an automated e-mail reminder from the Portal. If it takes even longer, the project manager also will send you a reminder. Until you respond to the approve or reject task, your design project and your subscription will be stuck in limbo.

You can create new design requests in the portal while other projects are pending. However, the new design requests will sit in the queue until the previous design project has been completed.

If you decide to cancel the design project at the approve or reject phase, simply message your project manager in the portal to let them know. Once the project has been cancelled, we’ll move on to the next project.

When a design project is ready to go …

When a design project has been completed, all of the files you need for the project will be uploaded into the specific project folder in your portal.
