Want to know more about the design process and what's involved in commissioning me to work on your design project? Here are the answers to some questions I regularly get asked. Click on the category you want to find the answers quicker.
After receiving your initial logo design enquiry, I will be in touch with a worksheet for you to complete with some information on your logo design requirements. On receipt of this brief, I will aim to get back to you with a quote and guide to timescales within 7 days. Turnaround times for logo projects vary depending on workloads at a particular time, but as a guide I will usually have your initial design concepts ready within 7 - 10 days.
On receipt of your brief, I will work on some initial logo design concepts. A minimum of 4 concepts will be created initially and sent to you via email and your feedback requested for the designs. Usually, one or two of these concepts will then be developed further the final logo is reached.
Your final logo 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.
On payment for the final logo design, the exclusive copyright of the design is passed to you. Notification of this can be provided in writing if required.
My logo design service costs from £250, depending on your specifications and requirements.
Stationery design generally includes the design of your business cards, letterhead and compliments slip. Using your new or existing logo as a basis for the designs.
On receipt of your logo and information to be included on the stationery, I will work on creating 2 - 3 initial layout ideas and email them across to you to preview. On receipt of your feedback, amendments will then be made to your preferred design until the final design is reached. Final artwork is then supplied to you ready to send to the printer of your choice.
No, but I have built up many printing contacts over the years and would be happy to recommend some for you, depending on your individual requirements.
I keep a back up of your final stationery designs indefinitely, so if in the future your contact details change, the original files can be amended and the new artwork sent across to you for a small fee.
As well as logo and stationery design detailed above, I also offer the graphic design of various items for both print, product and web, such as flyers, postcards, magazine advertisements and website banners.
When you first enquire about your graphic design project, I will forward across a worksheet for you to complete and return with some information on your design requirements. On receipt of your completed form, I will get back to you with a quote and timescale for your project. You will need to you supply me with any logos, photos, illustrations and text copy you want included in the design piece. If required I can source suitable stock photos and illustration to suit your project.
Every project is different so each job will be quoted individually dependant on your specific requirements. Get in touch for a quote.
I provide a front-end website design service. This is the design of a graphical template for your website, supplied to you in an image format ready to be taken to a web developer to have sliced and coded into a functioning website. I am happy to recommend suitable developers should you require. I have worked closely with Rebus Development on previous web design jobs.

You will also need to supply me with your logo and any images you would like used in the overall page design. Stock photos and illustrations may be sourced if necessary.
Again, every project is different so get in touch and I'll be happy to supply you with a custom quote.
#1 - The Brief
I will send you a questionnaire/brief form for you to fill out. This provides me with the essential information about your business, your products or services and your company ethos, as well as a detailed brief on what is required to make sure the focus remains on what is required. In accordance with my terms & conditions, 50% of the payment is requested before the start of the project and the remainder on completion of the job.
#2 - Initial Designs
When I recieve the brief, I will confirm in writing the quotation and start designing your artwork. Depending on the job, this is most often done by sketching out some rough drafts on paper, then scan them to the computer and email them to you in JPEG format for you to view and evaluate.
#3 - Send & Review
Once you have had a chance to go over the designs, you can get back to me with your opinions on each design.
Usually one or two concepts will be developed, refining certain elements such as colour and typography. If you think that the designs submitted are not right for development, further new ideas will be created and resubmitted.
This process of refining will continue until you are completely happy with the final look and feel of the artwork.
#4 - Payment
I offer a range of payment methods from secure online transactions such as Paypal, to the more traditional bank transfer or cheque. Once payment is recieved, I provide all artwork and full copyright for the artwork.
#5 - Final Output
Once the design(s) have been signed off they will be provided to you by email in the most common file types, which are .eps .pdf and .jpeg, plus any software specific files. I am happy to add any other formats at your request without charge. I can also provide all files on CD/DVD if required.
