Professional Visual Concepts in Minutes


Create Visual Concepts in Minutes




What is a

VISUAL CONCEPT?




“A compilation of inspirational elements

to flesh out ideas or feelings”




The

PROBLEM?




“The traditional method of visual concept sharing

and collaboration is broken”




How is it broken?

1. Old-fashioned & outdated


It requires physical samples and pictures of

products to be sourced, collated and compiled

into real-life presentation boards.



2. Time-consuming




Creating mood boards offline using the

TRADITIONAL METHOD, including the

board, tape, adhesive, Stanley knife & labels, &

software-based using photo editing programs like

Photoshop is useful.




But OUTDATED, COSTLY &

TIME-CONSUMING


Plus they need to be adjusted or

re-created following client amends



3. No sharing capability




4. Online design institutions require

digital assignment submissions




3. Designers work in isolation



4. Large, bulky & non eco-friendly


Where do you store your bulky boards?



2. Location & travel arrangements


SampleBoard avoids the process of having to

meet clients face to face to pitch their initial

design concepts.



5. Traditionalism requires digital intervention




Our Solution...




SampleBoard has DIGITIZED this process.

PowerPoint & the cost & complexity of Photoshop

Challenges Within the creative industry

out, especially in larger organizations…

greater operational efficiencies

What SampleBoard

can do for you




1. Minimized overhead costs

SampleBoard provides an affordable alternative to traditional out-of-the-box

software such as Adobe Photoshop, significantly reducing software costs, hardware,

power, support staff, administration & security. In exchange, your organization will get a

longer-term cash flow that is more predictable because of a relationship that is service-

based.

2. Ease of speed & deployment

SampleBoard requires little or no integration & involvement with your IT department

for the initial implementation, long-term maintenance & support. The interface is

designed to be easily configurable & delivered as a service that is hosted, supported,

and maintained by SampleBoard.

Designed from the ground up to be “multi-tenant,” it can support many users

concurrently using the same version of software on Mac or PC.




3. Easy to learn, requiring little, if any, training

Traditional enterprise software is not always easy to use because user interfaces are

often created before it is known exactly how the software will be used, thus the need for

training. SampleBoard’s software is easier to use due to the streamlined, intuitive

interface that can be customized to suit your organizations needs with the ability to

analyze which elements of the application are being used (or not used) and customize

the solution accordingly.

4. No upgrades required

With the ability to upgrade with new features without impact to the core technology

stack, SampleBoard can make new releases instantly available, which means the costly,

time-consuming, and often delayed upgrades that plague traditional enterprise software

are a thing of the past.




5. Fewer backups and storage

Your organization will not have to store the software or data on your computers or

hardware. That means the elimination of need for big storage facilities for data and/or

large image files. It is also a convenient model since data storage and backups are now

the responsibility of the host company ie SampleBoard

6. Simplified budget signoffs

SaaS solutions are gaining traction in enterprise and institutions because unlike

traditional enterprise software, which requires the buy-in and support from multiple

divisions within a company, enterprise SaaS departmental applications like

SampleBoard can be sold directly to the line of business owner such as the Creative

department.

EFFICIENT, INTUITIVE PROGRAM with a great

library of images, which allows you to produce very colourful, informative

boards. It is a great tool to support your project, enrich your portfolio or simply

practice visual thinking - so important in the designer's role. The wide range of
