Custom Projects Informational Packet

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

This is my general process. It changes with the type of project. But this will give you a general idea of how I work. First, I will have you fill out the Pre-Project Questionnaire to help you brainstorm about the project at hand and provide me with pertinent information about your project. We will then do a call/communication of some kind to talk about the vision you have in mind.

I will do research and look at the inspiration and ideas you provided. It's always good to know what type of things have been done before. I will brainstorm a bunch. I will try out numerous different ideas using design programs, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, which are the industry standard programs for designing.

Next, I will give you proof/s 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/feel of the design. Whether there are elements you like/dislike, or if it seems like something is missing, unrepresented or just not right, please let me know your thoughts. We can work to edit the proofs into a concept you are happy with.

Next, I will carry that look into the other materials that we are working on if that applies. I will send you proofs along the way to ensure you are happy with them.

Once you have given final approval on all the pieces, I will either submit them to the printer on your behalf or provide press ready files for you to supply to the printer.

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.
