Industry solution / Creative & Media

Keep a design job clear from brief to approved file

For designers and small studios managing client copy, revisions and print handover. Keep the requested format, open decisions and exact file version in view while you do the creative work.

  1. Brief with a purpose

    Record audience, format, deadline and style instructions before the layout starts.

  2. Revision with context

    Link a change request to its project and keep its status visible during the next round.

  3. Handover with a decision

    Record who checked which project file; unresolved rights and print specifications still need a human answer.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

Example: the programme on a concert flyer changes

In this fictional studio job, a community organiser sends revised times after seeing the first flyer proof.

  1. Clarify the copy

    The designer asks which time is final and checks whether the supplied photograph may be used.

  2. Revise the layout

    She records the correction against the project and prepares a new file for review.

  3. Check the final version

    Before print handover, she checks the required size and gets a decision on that exact file.

The studio can distinguish the approved version from the old proof; a rights question is left open until resolved.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Create a sample project

    Add a fictional flyer job and its deadline.

  2. Write a useful brief

    Enter audience, size, style and missing copy.

  3. Rehearse a revision

    Record one changed time, then check the approval status of a project file.

Questions before you start

Does Sektura create the artwork?
No. The desk tracks the assignment and decisions; your studio makes and checks the layout.
Does approval clear image rights and print errors?
No. Check licences, bleed, colour and the printer's specification for the actual job.

File-specific approval

A print approval needs a project-linked document and a recorded check; it does not approve every earlier draft or grant usage rights.

Revising an event flyer

A client requests a new version of an event flyer after the programme changes.

  2. Review the revised layout with the client.
