When selecting a designer, there are many variables to consider. I've included the most common and frequently asked questions below.

1. How much does the design process cost?

- This is the most common question I get, but can't be answered without specific details about the design project. Each quote is tailored to the specific design project needs. Pricing tends to vary based on many variables. Some of these variables are as follows: level of expertise, project specification, turnaround time, service and support, level of demand, current economy, and geographic location.



2. What does the cost include?

- The cost includes all the time and resources it takes to conceptualize, brainstorm, prototype, refine, revise, and deliver the project. Upon completion, the client receives full and unrestricted ownership of the completed artwork, along with all of the original files which can then be transferred and used across many media types.



3. How long does the design process take?

- This depends on the needs of the client. If something is needed ASAP, then current workload and project slots must be evaluated to see if and how much of a "shift" is available. On the other hand, if the project is substantial (i.e. Company logo, business card, stationary, brochure, multiple sizes of advertising ads, direct-mail postcards, posters, a website, newsletter, and a storefront sign), then expect anywhere up to 4 months and perhaps longer based on complexity.



4. How soon can you start my project?

- This depends on current workload and availability.



5. What's involved in the design process?

- We prefer to begin the process with a creative briefing. All specifications of the project will be laid out in-detail and then the creation process will begin. Upon acceptance of a general concept, several design solutions will be presented for selection and then the refining process carries the project through to completion and delivery.



6. How do we complete the process? (In-person, via phone, via email, etc)

- This depends on the client's needs. We are happy to conduct your design project locally or abroad; as well as completing the intermediate steps of selection and approval via in-person, phone, or email.



7. What forms of payment do you accept?

- At this time, we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cash, or check.



8. When is payment due?

- 50% of the design fee is required prior to any work beginning with the final balance due before delivery of any digital or print materials.
