This will include: The overall case study structure The visual style and page layout The WordPress case study template The coordinated PDF template Typography and image-placement standards Reusable graphics, mockups, and page sections A consistent process that can be repeated across future projects The final design should feel professional, modern, clean, and easy to review. We do not want overly complicated or heavily decorated layouts. Image and Graphic Creation The designer will be responsible for creating the visual presentation of each project. This may include: Website and mobile device mockups Browser-window mockups Before-and-after comparisons Feature callouts Service icons Process graphics Results graphics Branded section dividers AI-generated supporting images when appropriate Editing and improving client-provided images Selecting the strongest screenshots from each project The designer should be able to determine which visuals are needed rather than waiting for us to provide every image.
