5. Documentation and Version Control:
   • Maintain comprehensive documentation of each design version, including notes on design changes, approvals, and iterations.
   • Document any special requests or unique features in the design that may require clarification for future use (e.g., fonts, graphic treatments, layout adjustments).
   • Keep track of all changes made during the design process and maintain version control to avoid confusion and ensure the final design is the one being used in campaigns.
6. Collaboration and Communication:
   • Work closely with the SayPro Marketing team to understand the needs of each monthly campaign and ensure designs align with overall marketing strategies.
   • Communicate with other departments (e.g., Social Media, Content, or Print Production) to ensure that designs are properly archived and available for their use.
   • Share design files with relevant team members, ensuring that access is granted based on project needs and security protocols.
