Using Notable: Design Studios Workflow

Below: Q&A with William Attaway, Creative Director at reThinQ — a small design studio located in Venice, California which has simply fallen in love with Notable

What do you do?

We build brands and design for print and web.

How does Notable help you do what you do?

We use Notable to review each version of our concepts and artwork. We also use it to keep track of trends, and post designs that inspire us. We're able to quickly refine the design and post up the next version for review. Most importantly, we're able to collaborate & give feedback easily and efficiently. No more marking up .pdf's, paying for overpriced services, and not being able to make specific notes.

So how do you use Notable?

Our internal design workflow using Notable is as follows:

Concept Development

• Art Director Develops the First Wireframes
• Art Director creates a Workspace for the project
• Art Director posts the First Version of Wireframes in a Set titled, "Concepts v1".
• Creative Director reviews the Concepts
• Art Director reviews the Creative Director's Notes & refines the Wireframes
• Art Director posts the next version in a Set titled, "Concepts v2"
• Creative Director reviews the next version of Concepts
• Art Director reviews the Creative Director's Notes & refines the Wireframes
• Art Director posts the next version in a Set titled, "Concepts v3"
• This review & refine Process continues until Creative Director gives the final approval

Artwork Development

• Designer develops the first version of the Artwork
• Designer posts the First Version of Artwork in a Set titled, "Artwork v1".
• Art Director reviews the Artwork
• Designer reviews the Art Director's notes & refines the Artwork
• Designer posts the next version in a Set titled, "Artwork v2"
• Art Director reviews the next version of Artwork
• Designer reviews the Art Director's notes & refines the Artwork
• Designer posts the next version in a Set titled, "Artwork v3"
• This review & refine Process continues until Art Director approves Artwork
• Creative Director reviews & Approves Final version of the Artwork

P.S. This is just a small part of what Notable can do - we're always finding new uses. I have yet to find an application better than this for providing feedback.
