1. the brief

After completing the Design Brief and Wholesale Brief I had an Initial Consultation with the resort management to better understand their needs. I then sent them the assessment below based on our discussion and to get the go-ahead to come up with a proposal.

WANT

  • An on-brand design aesthetic
  • Consistent interior design throughout the resort
  • Multi-purpose designs
  • Simple digital files for reuse
  • Exclusive rights to branded materials

HAVE

  • An established eco-tropical brand identity
  • A fixed number of applications for design
  • A clear idea of their wholesale needs
  • Dedicated seamstresses and marketing staff

LACK

  • No in-house designer
  • No sources of custom eco-fabric manufacturing
  • No sources of custom wallpaper
  • No software or skills for processing vector design files.

2. the proposal

DESIGN

  • I proposed creating a hero and blender pattern pair which could be mixed and matched in multiple textile and print applications throughout the resort. 

 

  • I also suggested they could complement their branding and marketing efforts by repackaging a brand of tea they already sold in their spa to match the new resort-wide branding. 

LICENSING

  • Using just two patterns would save on licensing fees.

 

WHOLESALE

  • In addition we offered our services to design, source and ship fabric and wallpaper for them, with the first invoice to include samples only.

3. the goods

It took 3 months from the initial consultation to deliver the files and samples.

DESIGN

  • 2 seamless patterns in 3 colour ways
  • 1 placement design for branded tea product range using these 2 patterns
  • PNG and JPEG file delivery in tile and placement for in-house marketing team to use.

LICENSING

  • 1 exclusive pattern license for 3-years for Hero pattern
  • 1 commercial pattern licence for Blender

WHOLESALE

  • 7 fabric samples of different fabric and design
  • 1 wallpaper sample

4. the bill

  1. Once the proposal was accepted, I invoiced them for anticipated design and licensing fees.
  2. Design began once they paid 50% of this invoice upfront.
  3. I delivered digital files when the final invoice was paid, adjusting for revision requests and further online consultations. 
  4. I invoiced for wholesale samples separately to include accurate shipping costs and to enable upfront payment in full.
