On the level below:

Designing and producing a desktop published document for a customer.

Before you can begin to design the document there are some things you will need to find out from your customer........ for example:

	the size and orientation of the document to be created
	the content of the document (text, images, logos etc)
	where the document will be used (for example a newspaper advertisement will be designed differently from a large billboard poster)
	If the document should be designed in colour or black and white
	How much time they will pay for you to spend designing the document
	The date the document is needed
	How many copies of the document are needed
	etc....

When you know the customer's requirements it is then important to create a draft design - and get it checked by the customer.

Why should it be checked by the customer:

	To make sure there are no errors in the document
	To check that it meets the customer's requirements
	To give the customer chance to make any last-minute changes
	To save the cost of reprinting if there is something the customer doesn't like
