In more than 20 years of my practice as a graphic/web designer and a coach for Authentic Design, I have noticed, that the most important part of the process is to really deeply get the essence of the work, its core and its purpose. By this I don't mean the marketing sentence that describes it, but the authenticity and uniqueness of it, like a kind of "energy" that is part of each client's mission. When this is done succesfully, the whole process of creation starts unfolding just by itself. Not only the visual design unfolds out of clients essence, but also the texts and the whole structure of the design product (flyer, website) starts to flow from a deeper center, more harmonious and with ease.
