How to Give Effective Feedback to the Creative Team
Learn how to streamline revisions by providing specific, organized feedback directly within the project. Utilize visual tools like the tagging feature for graphics and video, or record a screen share to give your team clear visual direction.
Providing effective feedback helps to keep projects on the right track and streamlines the revision process.
Leaving Feedback within the Project
For general notes or broader direction, you can leave written comments directly in the project. Keeping feedback organized in the project makes it easy for the team to reference.
- Be Specific: Provide specific instructions (e.g., "Use the color palette from our last project," or "Change this font to something bolder").
- Reference Examples: Share visuals, links, or brand materials to guide the team's direction. (e.g., “Let's explore a more modern look”)
- Tip: You can use Flocksy’s AI image generation tool to create reference images.
Using Visual Tools
Flocksy provides several tools to make visual feedback fast and clear:
- Tagging Feature (Images): On Graphic Design and Illustration projects, you can click on the image and use the tagging feature to click directly on the design and give feedback. Write clear feedback right where the change is needed (e.g., "Adjust this color to a deeper shade of blue").
- Video Tagging (Frame.io): Thanks to our partnership with Frame.io, you can easily and quickly tag changes directly on videos as well as on images. Your team will be able to view time-stamped comments directly tied to the video timeline, making revisions significantly faster.
- Video Recording (Screen Share): Within the project chat, you can record and share a screen walkthrough of your feedback (up to 5 minutes). Use this to highlight specific areas of the design or explain your reasoning, allowing the team to watch your video and adjust your project as needed.
