Create Visual Concepts in Minutes

Professional Visual Concepts in Minutes concept creation online

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?


Watch our 90 second introduction video…

Professional Visual Concepts in Minutes

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 Old-fashioned & outdated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But OUTDATED, COSTLY &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.

SampleBoard offers a faster,
simpler, easier solution to help

creative professionals and students of
design create digital mood boards.


Combined with the benefits of the
DIGITAL AGE of speed, efficiency,
quick turn-around & global availability.


Positioning itself in between the limitations of
PowerPoint & the cost & complexity of Photoshop

design trends & fashions.


1. The power of the internet
2. Powerful photo-editing tools
3. Cloud-based images
4. Share with ease


Challenges
Within the creative industry


1. The proprietary/installed method of
distributing image editing software is on its way
out, especially in larger organizations…


Where the per user license model

HURTS THE WALLET.


The future is on the CLOUD.

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.
