Why would a designer need creative QA?

Because you can’t proofread a file you’ve stared at for three days. LYNCE gives every export a first look, so the version that leaves your desk is already checked.

When should I scan, before or after handoff?

Before. A scan is quick; a red-pen return from the client or PM takes a day. Designers use it as the last step of export: render, scan, fix, deliver.

Does it judge my design?

No. LYNCE reads what the creative says: spelling, dates, prices, claims, consistency with the brief. Layout, type and craft stay entirely yours.

Can it check my file against the client’s brief?

Yes. Attach the brief or copy deck as a reference and your export is verified against it, so “the brief said €40” never comes back as a surprise.

What about versions and artboards?

Export the set and scan it together. Every size and variant is checked against the others, which is exactly where late edits hide.

Creative QA for designers

Proofread the file you can no longer see.

After three days in the artboard, your brain autocompletes the typo. LYNCE gives every export a true first look, and never has opinions about your design.

What three days of staring does

You: pass 1 through 400

“Recieve your pass on arrival” reads fine. It has read fine all week.

LYNCE: pass 1

Typo, footer line: Recieve → Receive. Pinned to the artwork.

Familiarity blindness is a design hazard.

The better you know the file, the worse you proofread it: your brain reads what should be there, not what is. The fix isn’t staring harder, it’s a first look that isn’t yours.

Fix A late edit reached one artboard, not the other.

Scan your own exports before anyone else opens them. Findings come back pinned to the artwork with the fix spelled out, so you correct in seconds and the version that leaves your desk is already properly proofread.

Attach the client’s brief and your work is verified against it too, so “the brief said €40” never arrives as a reply-all.

Facts in. Opinions out.

“The price contradicts the brief.”“These two versions disagree on the time.”“Typo in the footer line.”

What LYNCE will say

Facts, pinned to the artwork, each with a suggested fix and the source it contradicts.

“Maybe try a different font?”“Feels a bit empty on the left.”“Can the logo be bigger?”

What it will never say

Layout, type, craft: the design stays yours. LYNCE checks what the creative says, not how it looks.

The last step of export.

Render, scan, fix, deliver: a one-minute habit that ends the red-pen round-trip. Reviewers get work that’s already been checked, so their notes are about the work, not the typos.
