# Product Listing Design Guidelines

> Step-by-step process for creating product listings

## Overview

This playbook describes the complete process for creating product listings. Follow these steps carefully to ensure consistent and high-quality results.

## Package Options

Clients can choose from four different packages for their product listing:

| Package    | Design | Product Photography | Lifestyle Photography | Model Shoot on Location |
| ---------- | :----: | :-----------------: | :-------------------: | :---------------------: |
| **Basic**  |    ✅   |          ❌          |           ❌           |            ❌            |
| **Basic+** |    ✅   |          ✅          |           ❌           |            ❌            |
| **Pro**    |    ✅   |          ✅          |           ✅           |            ❌            |
| **Pro+**   |    ✅   |          ✅          |           ✅           |            ✅            |

<Warning>
  **Important pricing information:**

  * Locations and models are paid for separately by the client (on top of package prices)
  * All staff should be aware of this pricing structure
  * The project manager coordinates with the client for shoot dates and logistics regarding getting the product to Oase
</Warning>

## Step 1: Check the form and assets

Before you start designing, check whether the client has completely filled out the form and provided all required assets.

<Warning>
  **Important:** If assets are still missing, do **not** proceed to step 2. First contact the client to ensure there is enough material to work with.
</Warning>

### Contact the client

Always contact the client using your own business `...@oasecreative.nl` email address. The client's contact information is always in the completed form.

### Required assets checklist

Make sure you have received the following materials:

* **Logo files** - Logo files as vectors (e.g., .svg, .ai, or .eps files)
* **Photography/lifestyle assets** - Good photography/lifestyle assets provided by the client in high quality
* **Product information** - All USPs, benefits, and specifications of the product in question
* **Packaging material** - Any packaging as .PDF to create a mock-up and incorporate into the listing

<Tip>
  If photography needs to be cut out, you can do this in the Slack channel **#1-photography-and-editing**.
</Tip>

## Step 2: Start designing

Once the form is complete and all assets are present, you can begin designing the listing.

### Notify the team

Update team members in the appropriate Slack channel that you have started the design.

### Photoshop setup

**Format settings:**

* Use a **3000x3000px** format for the listing

**Optimize work session:**

* Open multiple artboards in Photoshop
* Make sure you have enough storage and working memory available
* Keep the completed form and all assets close at hand while creating the listing

<Warning>
  **File management:**

  * Save the file periodically with the correct filename
  * Also save this in the correct folder with the correct folder name on Oase Google Drive
  * Keep all assets organized in case the file ever needs to be transferred
</Warning>

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Example client request:** "Photoshop the logo onto the products" - make sure this is executed correctly.
</Note>

## Step 3: Present first version

Once the first version is ready, it can be presented to the client.

### File format for revision

If you save images for a client to present for revision:

* Make sure you stay **under 10MB per image**
* Otherwise make the format smaller, for example **2500x2500px**

### Upload and notify team

1. Upload the first version in the appropriate Slack channel
2. Update team members that the first version is ready for feedback

## Step 4: Process revisions

### Receive revisions

If the client has revisions, make sure they are followed precisely.

* **Revisions received:** When revisions are received, update team members in the appropriate Slack channel that you are working on the revisions
* **Questions about revisions:** If there are questions, contact the client via your own business `...@oasecreative.nl` email address

### No revisions

If there are no revisions, this means the assignment is complete. Update team members in the appropriate Slack channel that the assignment has been completed.

## Best practices

<Tip>
  **Organization is key:** A good folder/layer structure in Photoshop ensures:

  * Clear overview of the file
  * Fast and efficient work
  * Easy revisions
  * Simple handover to colleagues
</Tip>

<Warning>
  **Always contact:** Always use your own business `...@oasecreative.nl` email address for communication with clients.
