Who I am
Creative Media is a digital playground for Maruf Yusupov. I am 27 years old and I currently reside in Denmark with my wife and a 1-year-old son. For the moment I work as an interaction designer for Amplex. Please, refer to my resume for more info.
What I do
I support small to medium companies in creating, branding and maintaining their online and offline presentation. In other words, I design & develop websites, posters and stationery or even a logo.
How I do it
It is not a rocket science. I ask questions and listen to my client to find out his needs. Based on my findings, I make a plan how to reach the goal. The next step is to design and develop of the actual solution. And I test and launch the project. You can read more about the process below.
The Process
1. Explore
I ask questions, and I listen to my client to find out his needs. The purpose of this step is to obtain a deep and intuitive sense of the client profile, competitors, and business plan.
2. Plan
Based on the findings I make a plan of action. I also define the budget, timeline, technology, and deliverables (such as briefs, sitemaps, and content outlines) needed to complete the work.
3. Design
Strategic plan is ready, I began to visualize. This is where the design and concept begin to take shape. I keep on optimizing my designs until I find the best possible solution.
4. Develop
Since our concept is already designed, it is high time to move to the next step: development. Here I implement the design into real life functionality.
5. Launch
I put the spit-shine on my work with user testing, quality assurance, and reviews. I launch the project in a live production environment.
6. Maintain
Once the project is online, I create a roadmap for constant improvement and future enhancements. I discover the true results of my work as I monitor the project’s growth over time.
