What is Creative Planning ?

This helps us to understand how we can make the website look clean and professional.

Also, what tone and feel do we want for the website, or what can we realistically achieve.

Keep it practical

We have to be realistic about our design choices. We should not have creative plans that will fail because of lack of content, skill, or time.

Keep it simple

Most projects don’t need style guides or brand guides or font choice. As long as there is “nice look”—that will be fine.

The creative look can always be improved at the end of the project.

When to lead with Creative Planning

Lead with creative planning for smaller Visual-Driven projects. 

Styling

Your goal is to create a simple website with a nice color scheme and font pairing.
