Branding Materials Informational Packet

Thank you choosing me to help your vision come to life. Below is information that will let you know about my process, FAQs, etc. Please read through it to ensure this project goes as smoothly as possible. Once complete, click on the Pre-Project Questionnaire at the bottom of the page and let's get this process started!

My Process

First, I will have you fill out the Pre-Project Questionnaire to help you brainstorm and think about your project. We will then do a call/communication of some kind to talk about the brand you are building and the project at hand.
 
Next, I will do research on other materials in the same industry and format that are similar to what we are working on. It's always good to know what's been done already. I will brainstorm a bunch of ideas and start to put a design into my design programs, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, which are the industry standard programs for graphic design.
 
Next, I will give you proofs that I feel are the most successful out of the bunch. This is the time to let me know what you think about the general idea. Whether there are elements you like/dislike, or if there's something that isn't quite right, or if it seems like something is missing/unrepresented, please let me know your thoughts. We can work to edit the proofs into something you like.
  
At the end, you will receive a press ready PDFs to submit to a printer. If you are needing me to make those arrangements, I can. If you have a printer you like to work through, we can get files to them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Quote

The initial design quote is based on the estimation of time that it will take to complete the project. Once agreed upon, that quoted price is set. However, there are some reasons the price may go up. The client will be notified and need to approve these increases as they arise. Some of these reasons include, but are not limited to: the additional cost of stock images/elements, fonts, printing costs and many revisions. On your invoice, there will be an allotted amount of revisions included in the quote. Once that number is exceeded, each round of revisions will cost $25. I do my best to use quality images/elements and fonts I already have the rights to, but sometimes the need arises to purchase something new. I do my best to find the most cost-effective solution to the issue at hand.

Invoicing

Payment is broken up into two parts. At the beginning of the project, I will issue an invoice for 50% of the quoted price. Work on the project will start once the first 50% payment is received. Upon project completion, I will provide a final invoice which will include the other 50% of the quoted price and any additional costs (printing costs, stock image costs, etc.). It is expected that payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. If there needs to be an exception, that will be addressed on a case by case basis.

Payment

Payment can be made by check, Apply Pay or Venmo. Contact Sarah about Apple Pay details. Provide Sarah your Venmo name for her to request payment.
