Creative Art Direction For Conveying Brand Concepts

What makes web design as engaging and inspiring as it is? With tons of similar content on the web, how to stand out and make your product extraordinary yet balanced? At Ester, an art direction agency, we believe that great design should always side with a clear vision. And the creative direction is fundamental to success. We apply strategic thinking and only calibrated approaches to transform your ideas into an innovative digital product.

Essentially, creative or art direction is the form of brand development that handles concepts associated with the brand and broadcasts them to the audience by means of design, marketing, and advertising. Approaching strategic, abstract, and visionary product buildups, the creative direction covers multiple areas , such as Art — stands for the brand’s visual picture, how you want it to be seen (not perceived); Design — relates to the core principles of web design, used to create a consistent brand image; Strategy — bound to the ways of communicating the brand’s values, and messaging, which forms the overall perception of the brand.

What Does a Creative Director Do?

Broadly, a creative director is responsible for administering the whole brand development process. In particular, they will determine the artistic vision to translate the desired mood, messages, and ideas into imagery and oversee how creative design manages to reveal the underlying thrust of the idea.

Since there are several departments involved, the creative director will also supervise and coordinate the activities of each, including communication with the client, to solidify the collective vision and ensure consistency of the shared outlook.

How we work

Art Direction Process

As a Creative Design Agency we apply different processes across projects, but essentially we are trying to stick to these basics:

  • Research

    Good research always pays off: at this point, Ester tries to identify brand weaknesses and compares your positioning in relation to your competitors. Such a purposeful, conscious approach allows our team to see the whole story and chart the way forward.

  • Define Problems

    At this stage our senior art director interviews product owners and marketers to understand the brand concept and create a list of improvements.

  • Roughs & Feedback

    The first concepts are hot off the press within a week of the research stage. It doesn’t matter how broad or deep the scope of the research is, Ester always tries to present at least three ideas for discussion with product owners and marketers. The final choice is, of course, yours.

  • Refinement & Solution

    We help you to design and build a solution and shape your product in a way that will make your customers happier and your business more successful. As one of the best art direction companies, we deliver a harmonious result to strengthen your brand.
