Embracing Open Source Design: Access Source Files Without Extra Charges, ALWAYS!
We are committed to a philosophy that embraces transparency, fosters collaboration, and empowers our clients. As part of our dedication to these values, we have chosen to break away from traditional norms by offering access to source files, making us an open-source design agency, and the best part? No extra fees!
What is Open Source Design?
Open source design is a concept inspired by the principles of open source software. In the software world, open source means that the source code behind a program is made accessible to the public, allowing anyone to view, modify, and distribute it freely. Similarly, in the design context, open source means providing clients with access to the original design files (e.g., Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop files) rather than just the final deliverables (e.g., JPEGs or PDFs).
Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe that transparency is essential in building strong and trusting relationships with our clients. By offering access to source files without any additional charges, we invite our clients into our creative process, giving them a deeper understanding of the work we do. We want our clients to feel involved and informed, with the ability to see how their vision comes to life.
Fostering Collaboration and Empowerment
Embracing open source design fosters collaboration between our team and our clients. It encourages open communication, feedback, and creative exchange. With access to source files at no extra cost, clients can provide input, request modifications, and make updates to the design as needed. This level of collaboration not only ensures that the final product meets their expectations but also strengthens the bond between us.
Empowering our clients is at the core of our philosophy. By providing them with the source files without any additional fees, we equip them with the tools to make changes on their own if they wish to do so in the future. Our clients have the freedom to adapt their designs as their business evolves or create localised versions for different markets, saving time and resources.
Challenging Capitalistic and Colonial Thinking
In many industries, proprietary control of knowledge and expertise can perpetuate capitalistic and colonial practices. By embracing open source design and not charging extra fees for source file access, we challenge this traditional way of thinking. We reject the notion of holding creative power as exclusive, and instead, we believe that design should be inclusive and accessible to all.
This approach aligns with our responsible branding, mindful marketing, and sustainable design principles. We strive to break down barriers, share knowledge, and promote a more equitable creative landscape. In doing so, we contribute to a positive and supportive community of designers and clients.
At Tatak, our commitment to responsible branding, mindful marketing, and sustainable design extends beyond the final deliverables. Our dedication to open source design, without charging extra fees for source files, reflects our values of transparency, collaboration, and empowerment. By offering access to source files without additional costs, we empower our clients to be active participants in the creative process and challenge traditional norms in the design industry.
As an open-source design agency that refuses to impose additional fees for source files, our vision is to create a more collaborative and empowering environment within the design industry. We hope to inspire others to adopt similar practices and contribute to a culture of transparency and inclusivity. Together, we can build a more sustainable and responsible design community that celebrates creativity, fosters growth, and makes a positive impact on the world.
