Graphic Design Workflow

A real workflow system for graphic design at last

Web sites for graphic designers are full of articles about graphic design workflow, and many of them mention stress reduction-a sure sign that there can be a lot of hazards and obstacles in the graphic design process. There are also books on graphic design workflow and a few impractical and inappropriate InDesign workflow management software programs, but all these articles, books, and programs start from the assumption that designers need to adapt their work methods to the process, and none of them has a solution for the disruption in imposing a foreign routine on an individual's creative process. But, at last, there's software that gives designers the tools to make their jobs easier, without forcing a particular methodology on them. In fact, this graphic design workflow software-the world's first visual workflow manager, Flow from GridIron-works behind the scene on your computer to handle all the project process, leaving you to focus on the creative process.

Graphic design workflow from GridIron

GridIron Flow is the first graphic design workflow software designed specifically for creative professionals. GridIron Flow gives designers and design teams a total, pictorial, and intuitive understanding of the design project-a map of all the project files, their relationships, and their locations — and even does the end-of-project packaging. Designers using Flow are delivering jobs to their clients or the printer with everything right the first time, on time, and without doing anything differently. For the creative professional, this transformative application is defining a new threshold for graphic design workflow. A visual workflow suite that automatically tracks file relationships and displays project anatomy visually, Flow also alerts the designer to potential pitfalls and bottlenecks in time to avert disaster.

GridIron's graphic design workflow software works with everything

GridIron's software makes graphic design workflow easy. The software is platform-agnostic as well as application-agnostic, working on PCs and Macs, and supporting all the popular creative pro applications and office productivity suites. Regardless of multiple computers and different computer types, Flow's share maps keep a whole team in sync-one common map means zero chaos, with everyone kept in the loop automatically. GridIron Flow can even install a mini-Flow flash panel in Adobe CS4, so you can see a mini workflow map while you work in Photoshop or InDesign, and use it to snap between files and applications in an instant to improve your Adobe workflow. And regardless of application or platform, GridIron software speeds up day-to-day tasks with workflow maps that let you see instant previews, images, layers, thumbnails, and movies, and listen to audio clips, all without having to wait for the file or application to launch. No wonder creative professionals are turning to GridIron Flow for help with graphic design workflow.
