Choosing a designer is not an easy task and I'm sure you have lots of questions. Please feel to email me with any of your queries but to help speed things up for both of us, here is an idea of how I work and the answers to some questions I regularly get asked.

Step 1 - The Brief

If you are interested in commissioning me to work on your design project, the first step is to provide me with as detailed a brief as possible. This will generally provide me with enough information to put together a quote for your project and to begin work on some initial concepts.


Step 2 - Initial Concept Designs

Once you have confirmed via email that you are happy with the quote, terms and timescale for the project, a deposit payment will be requested. Payment can be made via BACS, cheque or Paypal. On receipt of this I will make a start on the initial concept designs for your project. These initial designs will be emailed to you in a PDF document, to preview and provide feedback on.


Step 3 - Review and Revise

When you have received the initial concepts and had some time to look over them, I will ask you to comment on each design and respond with your opinions (good or bad!) Generally, the client will like a couple of designs in particular but may also like elements from other designs. I will use this feedback to develop the designs further. The review and revise process will continue until you are completely happy with the final design reached.


Step 4 - Finalise

Your final design will be supplied to you via email, in a variety of formats for use in both web and print. These will include JPEG, GIF, TIFF and EPS files. Should you require any other specific formats, please feel free to request these and I will provide them at no extra cost.


Step 5 - Payment

Once the final design has been decided upon, you will be sent a final invoice via email. Full copyright is automatically passed to the client upon receipt of this final payment.
