Our Process

Our design process is greatly inspired by the British Design Council’s Double Diamond framework for innovation. We lean on it to make our design process structured and informed about the modes of thinking we need to adopt during the process. The double diamonds tell us at what points can we go wide and deep in the signage design exploration and at what points do we need to converge to take focused action. This approach is of immense help in identifying the context at hand and ensures our alignment with the everchanging needs of each and every project.

Discover

  • Project Analysis
  • Research
  • Brainstorm
  • Ideation

We start the process by mining the context at hand. We do this by attempting to understand the narrative, its source and the users who'll be the most important part of that narrative. The architectural and brand identities and our empathetic interpretation from the standpoint of the user help us synthesise this narrative into insight.  

Define

  • Conceptualization
  • Location Planning
  • Populating

The insights gathered from the discovery phase help us converge on a set of design constraints that start informing the potential approaches and strategies that could work from aesthetic, logical and functional perspectives.

Develop

  • Iterating
  • Prototyping
  • Guidelining

Once our approach and strategy are clearly defined, we start exploring multiple signage pathways for the specific contexts and user-needs. This is an iterative phase wherein we get our hands dirty by sifting through material palettes, preparing 3D views and prototyping to formalise the signage design and construction details. 

Deliver

  • Construction Detailing
  • Tendering
  • Monitoring
  • Evaluating

The phase where our vision comes to life! We prepare industrial and construction drawings along with detailed artwork guidelines and the bill of quantities for tendering purposes. We ensure that the production and implementation work is in alignment with our plans and design guidelines.

Tale of a Trellis

When we realised RMZ Group's sustainability agenda was strongly aligned with UN SDGs, we were clear about designing a signage…

Finding Prudence and Simplicity

Here’s a project wherein both the macro and micro aspects of the building architecture contributed to the overall signage experience.
