Process steps

1

Review Visual Aesthetics

5 days from previous step
task
Start by checking if the design feels right at first glance. Trust your gut here - if something looks off, it probably is.

Key questions to ask:
  • Does the typography create a clear reading hierarchy? Big stuff should grab attention first.
  • Are colors working together or fighting each other?
  • Is there enough breathing room between elements?

Don't overthink it. If you need to squint or lean in, the design needs work.
2

Validate Problem-Solution Fit

5 days from previous step
task
Here's where we get practical. A pretty design that doesn't solve the actual problem is just decoration.

Run through these checks:
  • Does the design make the user's job easier? If not, why are we doing this?
  • Can someone figure out how to use it without a manual?
  • Did we actually solve what we set out to solve, or did we get distracted?

Be straight. It's better to catch issues now than after launch.
3

Check Balance and Creative Elements

5 days from previous step
task
Time to step back and look at the whole picture. Good design balances creativity with usability - too much of either kills the other.

What to look for:
  • Is there visual balance? Nothing should feel like it's about to tip over.
  • Are creative choices helping communicate the message or just showing off?
  • Would this still work if you removed the flashiest element?

Remember: constraints breed creativity. The best designs work within limits, not despite them.
4

Verify Brand Consistency

1 day from previous step
task
Consistency builds trust. Every design piece should feel like part of the same family.

Quick audit:
  • Do buttons look and behave the same everywhere?
  • Is the color palette consistent throughout?
  • Are fonts and spacing following patterns?

Breaking the rules? Make sure there's a good reason.
5

Review Accessibility Standards

1 day from previous step
task
Good design works for everyone. This is essential for reaching all your users.

Accessibility checklist:
  • Is there enough contrast between text and background?
  • Would this work for someone using a screen reader?
  • Can users get around with just a keyboard?

Run contrast checkers. Try moving around without a mouse. You'll find issues you didn't know existed.
6

Complete Final Design Sign-Off

1 day from previous step
task
You've done the hard work. Time to document and approve.

Before signing off:
  • Have all stakeholders reviewed the design?
  • Are all files properly named and organized for handoff?
  • Did you document any decisions that might look weird later?

Once approved, this becomes the reference point. Make sure everyone's aligned.
