All About our Design Day

What’s a Design Day and Why Do You Need One?

You've probably heard of Design Day and are wondering what the heck it is and how it might help your business. Well, a So Swell Studio Design Day (or we often call it a "VIP design day") is a focused design session where we work together for 7 hours to complete a variety of design projects.

It's amazing for busy entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to tackle multiple design projects but don't have the time or resources to spread them out over a longer period.

Whether you need to create a brand identity, update your social media assets, or design print collateral, a Design Day can help you accomplish your goals efficiently and effectively. Plus, it's a fun and collaborative process that allows you to have direct input into the design process and see your vision come to life in real-time!

As a graphic designer based in Brisbane, Australia, I offer design day packages that are perfect for anyone who needs a fresh approach to their brand collateral. Whether you've got a brand that needs some sprucing up or you're just starting out and need help building your online presence, I'm here to get you sorted out.

So, what exactly can you expect from a Design Day with So Swell Studio? 

The possibilities are endless! Here are just a few examples of the types of projects that we can tackle together:

Presentation Design: Are you speaking at an event or in need of a business pitch deck design? Having consistent and on-brand slides can make or break your presentation. Using a Design Day to have your custom presentation done by an experienced designer can help you put your best foot forward.

Canva Template Suite: Creating beautiful, eye-catching social media content can be super time-consuming and difficult, especially if you’re not a designer. That's where I come in. As a Canva Creator, I am used to designing templates for the Canva library in a variety of styles. My designs are downloaded by over 750,000 users each month, so you can trust me to help you build a Canva template suite that suits your brand.

Content Creation: Content is king, but creating compelling and engaging content can be a challenge. During your design day, we'll work together to create content that resonates with your target audience, including social media posts, email newsletters, lead magnets and more. With high-quality, consistent content, you'll establish yourself as an authority in your industry and build trust with your audience.

3-Page Squarespace Website: Having a professional and user-friendly website is essential for any business. However, building a website can be time-consuming and overwhelming, especially if you don't have a million other things to do in your business. During your design day, I'll create a simple, but stunning, 3-page Squarespace website that showcases your brand and offers a seamless user experience. With a professional website, you'll attract your ideal customers and establish your online presence.

Brand Collateral & Print Design: print design is an important part of your marketing toolkit, whether it's for business cards, brochures, flyers, or event promotions. During your design day, I'll design and create professional on-brand collateral that complements your brand identity and promotes your business. You'll no doubt make a lasting impression on potential customers and leave them with a tangible reminder of your business.

What’s the client's role?

During a Design Day, the client's role is to be available at specific times throughout the day to provide feedback so I can work efficiently. While I handle the design work, your input and feedback are crucial in ensuring that the final product meets your vision and expectations. By working collaboratively, we can accomplish a lot in a single day, freeing you up to focus on other aspects of your business. Essentially, you’re there to provide feedback as needed, but one of the key aims of a Design Day is to keep it simple, so I will make sure that the process is smooth and easy for you.

So there you have it!
