We’ll make refinements to the approved concept. Here’s what a round of revision looks like:1. Client will collect feedback internally with all decision-makers and prepare changes and feedback at once.
2. We will confirm the requested refinements, make the revisions and submit a new version for approval.
Once the feedback is used to create a new version of a design, that completes one round of revision. Typically, a project scope will include three rounds of revisions.
