02 // ARTWORK & PLACEMENT[ XBOUND / BUILD TO A BRIEF ]
Set the artwork against the deck outline.
Supply the intended graphic area, bleed and mounting-hole clearance. Mark edges, cropping and colour priorities so the sample answers the same questions as the artwork file.
Holes & alignment
Show clearance around mounting holes and the intended direction of the graphic.
File & confidentiality
Identify the permitted artwork version; arrange NDA terms for the project handover.
03 // METHOD & FINISH[ XBOUND / BUILD TO A BRIEF ]
Choose the process around the desired surface.
Review coverage, colour and finish as separate decisions. A studio reference can show an appearance direction; the project sample establishes the agreed result.
01 // SCREEN / SEPARATION
Screen-printing route
Discuss colour separations, placement and coverage against the selected deck surface.
SCREEN / SEPARATION

Approve shape, placement, finish and the remaining open points on the actual sample.
