🎯 How to Get the Perfect Design (Almost Every Time)

At Penji, our goal is simple: make your design dreams come true. 🪄


But sometimes, the magic needs a little help — and that’s where you come in.

Want to get designs you LOVE without endless revisions? Here’s the inside scoop. 👇


1. Be super clear with your request ✏️

Designers are creative, not mind readers. 😅
When submitting a project, be as detailed as possible:

  • What’s the goal? (ex: "We want people to sign up for our event.")

  • Who’s it for? (ex: "Busy parents / Tech lovers / Small business owners")

  • Vibe check! (ex: "Bold and modern" or "Friendly and playful")

  • Colors, logos, and brand guidelines — share them if you have them!

The more you share upfront, the faster you’ll get exactly what you want. 🚀


2. Show, don’t just tell 📸

Have a design you love?
A Pinterest board?
A screenshot from that one brand you can’t stop stalking? 👀

Share it!


Visual references help your designer understand your style better than a thousand words could.


3. Keep feedback specific 🔍

Instead of saying:
🚫 "I don’t like it."

Try saying:
✅ "Can we use a lighter blue for the background?"
✅ "I’d love a bolder font for the headline."

Specific feedback = faster edits = less frustration for everyone. 🎉


4. Communicate early & often 🛎️

Don't wait until the final version to speak up if something feels off.


Design is a team sport — your quick input along the way makes a HUGE difference!

(And trust us, your designer wants to hear from you. ❤️)


5. Trust the process 🌀

Sometimes the first draft isn’t "it" — and that's totally normal!
Designers often explore different ideas before finding "the one."

Give honest feedback, stay open-minded, and together, you'll land on something amazing. 🌟


🔥 Bonus Tip: Use the "Brand Profile" Feature

Save your brand colors, fonts, and logos inside your account. 🎨
That way, every designer you work with will have your style handy — no need to resend every time!

(And if you haven’t set that up yet, highly recommend! It’s a game-changer.)


🚀 TL;DR

  • Be super clear with your project details

  • Share visual inspo

  • Give specific feedback

  • Stay in touch throughout the process

  • Trust the creative journey

Follow these tips, and you’ll be getting spot-on designs like a pro in no time. 🧡
