Feedback arrives everywhere
Stop relying on a mix of email threads, chat messages and annotated PDFs to establish which revision the client actually approved.
JobCue for graphic designers
Keep briefs, revisions, approvals and deadlines connected to the design job.
Graphic design work can look simple from the outside while the real delivery involves briefs, versions, comments, client decisions, deadlines and time. JobCue keeps that context together so designers spend less time hunting for the latest feedback and more time moving approved work forward.

What buyers are looking for
Looking for graphic design project management software?
Studio owners and senior designers need software that keeps briefs, revisions, client sign-off and time together while leaving the actual creative work in the design tools they already use.
Versions become ambiguous
Use structured content and approval workflows to keep review decisions attached to the correct revision instead of overwriting the history.
Small jobs still create admin
Keep even quick artwork jobs organised with a clear job record, actions, client context and time without building a heavyweight process around them.

Each step below remains part of the same client and Job history, giving teams a dependable operational trail rather than another handover spreadsheet.
Capture the brief
Keep the client, requirement and job information together from the start.
Plan and produce
Use Jobs, Projects and To Do to keep deadlines and responsibilities visible without losing the creative context.
Review the right version
Content Map & Approvals gives internal teams a structured version-aware review process; Client Portal can extend it to clients.
Close the commercial loop
Record time and use Accounts & Bookkeeping where you want the delivery record and financial record connected.
Workflow automation included
Let an approved artwork revision update the design job automatically.
A designer should not need to mark a proof approved in one place and then repeat the same update in a checklist. JobCue can connect the recorded revision decision to the production action, while leaving room to override work agreed by phone or supplied as a direct amendment.

Optional Briefing module
Ask for dimensions, copy, brand assets and output requirements before design starts.
Create a graphic-design questionnaire for the deliverable being commissioned rather than sending one generic form. Conditional paths can request bleed and finishing for print, animation dimensions for digital display, or platform ratios for social assets.
