From request to release
A Clear Path Through the Artwork Work.
Internal details stay internal. Clients see the stages and next actions that help them understand where their work stands.
Job submitted
Your team supplies the request, files, dimensions, deadline and known production requirements.
Intake & preflight
Instructions and source files are reviewed. Missing or conflicting information is identified.
Assignment
The job is assigned with clear ownership, priority and the appropriate type of design support.
Design or production work
Creative design, versioning, artwork repair or prepress work is completed as assigned.
Internal QA
The requested work, source instructions, revision and export are checked before client release.
Client proof
The proof is presented for review with the work and discussion kept together.
Revision
Requested changes are applied to the correct version and returned for review.
Approval & final release
Approved artwork is finalized and released to the agreed handoff requirements.
Client-facing visibility
See what is moving. See what is waiting.
The client view answers the status questions that matter without exposing internal team management.
- Was the job received?
- Is it being reviewed or worked on?
- Is a proof ready?
- Is the next action with my team?
- Are the final files available?
Your MIS stays your MIS.The Magik workflow supports the design-production relationship. It does not replace your customer, estimating, billing or production systems.

CompletedJob-level communication
Keep the Conversation With the Work It Affects.
Questions, files, proof notes and revision requests are easier to follow when they remain connected to the job instead of being reconstructed from unrelated email threads.
Questions stay with the jobFiles stay easier to findRevisions stay traceable
Multi-location visibility
Separate the work by location without separating the relationship.
Participating stores or branches can have their own artwork requests while management keeps a consolidated view of the work assigned to Magik Designs.
This supports consistent intake, organized files, shared QA expectations and a clearer view of demand across locations.
