A Knock Knock Bang, our design process is rooted in expertise, creativity, and a deep commitment to quality.
As part of this commitment, we have a clear policy regarding native files—the original, editable versions of our work. While we understand that access to these files might seem valuable, we do not provide them to clients, and here’s why:
Preserving the Integrity of Our Work
Native files are the foundation of our designs. They contain all the layers, details, and intricacies that make up the final product.
These files are more than just a collection of assets; they represent our creative process, our approach to problem-solving, and the tools we’ve refined over years of practice.
Releasing native files without context or oversight opens the door to unintended alterations and misuses. Even a minor change by someone unfamiliar with the original design intent can compromise the overall effectiveness and integrity of the work.
Protecting these files ensures that the quality and vision of the original design are maintained.
Avoiding Misuse and Misinterpretation
When native files are handed off to another agency, freelancer, or internal team, there’s a risk that they may be misinterpreted or altered in ways that don’t align with the original vision.
Without a deep understanding of the files, even small adjustments can lead to inconsistencies or technical issues that undermine the design’s effectiveness.
We’ve seen how easily a design can lose its impact when handled without proper care, and that’s something we strive to avoid.
By retaining control over these files, we ensure that your brand’s visual identity remains consistent and high-quality.
Protecting Intellectual Property
Native files are a core part of our intellectual property. They embody the creative techniques, proprietary processes, and expertise that we’ve developed over time. These files aren’t just deliverables—they’re the result of significant investment in skill, technology, and innovation.
By keeping these files in-house, we protect the value of our work and ensure that our creative process remains secure.
This policy also respects the fair exchange between the services we provide and the value you receive in the final product.
