Transforming Teamwork with Creative Collaboration Software
Creative teams are under pressure. Unlike other industries, like accounting or finance, where spreadsheets and analyses can be performed anytime, anywhere, creative industries rely on constant collaboration and communication. No longer working side-by-side with each other in an office, remote work and international projects complicate the creative process. Teamwork isn’t just a matter of heading…
How Soft Proofing is Enhancing Digital Creativity
Proofing is a key stage in the creative process. To avoid costly production and printing mistakes, companies thoroughly review documents, designs, and images prior to final approval. Previously, this stage relied on expensive hard proofs – aka physical prints of the design.In recent years, however, advances in soft proofing technology allowed creative teams to preview…
The Dynamics of Proof Production in Modern-Day Workflows
Gone are the days when companies and design firms worked manually to create an initial prototype or design concept. Today, proof production increasingly relies on technology to turn ideas into reality. Whether that’s PDF mock-ups or 3D packaging models, these innovative approaches help streamline the proof process. But why does proof production matter so much…
Elevating Efficiency with Digital Photo Proofing
Preparing photos for a magazine? Reviewing your shots after a wedding? Photo proofing is a key stage in the photography process – when you get to evaluate the shots, select the best photos, and perform the relevant edits.

That’s fantastic for people’s work-life balance but results in less spontaneous creative conversions. The result is a greater emphasis on online creative…
How Virtual Sample Methods Advance Sustainable Design Practices
Once, you could only assess a design by building a prototype. Throughout the design process, it wasn’t uncommon for dozens (even hundreds) of iterations to be made, built, and then thrown away. Not only was this an immense time drain, but it was also highly wasteful of resources. Now, with a virtual sample becoming easy…
