Print Design Process | How it works.
-
The initial consultation is free for the first hour, at this point we discuss your requirements and what you are looking for in your design project. We aim to obtain as much information as possible in order to supply you with the best possible finished product..
At this point we will outline what we require for your print design, logo etc.
This usually consists an outline of the project and texttual content (if required)
We will recommend formatting options and printing possibilities as well as look and feel of the design.
Content:
This will be supplied by the client or copywrighter (as we can't know your business as well as you)
Content must be supplied in a digital format i.e. Word, PDF files or emails. Images should also be supplied as high quality jpegs , psd files or vector images. If we have to manually type up textual content there will be an hourly charge added to the invoice.
We can supply a large range of stock images for your project at low or no extra cost, more specific images may need to be purchased on a client's behalf and that can be arranged at your discretion.
Also is some cases professional photography is required.After the initial consultation we will supply you with a formal quote detailing the work to be carried out and the costs involved. All graphic and print design projects are charged on an hourly basis and we will supply estimates for the time involved.
On approval of our quote we will supply you with a design agreement, this details all the work to be carried out as well as the legal details ownership, copyright etc.
A signed copy should be returned to us with your deposit check (if applicable) at which point your project will be added to the workflow.
Rush jobs will incur a charge of not less than 150% of our regular hourly charge.We will provide initial designs for any print or graphic project and we will ask you to sign off on proofs at various stages.
Once your print project is completed we will ask for payment of any balances and deliver your project to you via email or on a disk. Printed materials invoicing is due on receipt and a 50% deposit may be required before we submit the files to a printer.
