the process
Print: Print design projects are built in InDesign or Illustrator. Final press-quality digital files are provided directly to the printer (unless client requests otherwise). Initial quotes will always include two rounds of edits and press proof.
Logos: Logos are created in Illustrator. I will create initial original design concepts for the client to choose from. The chosen design undergoes final changes until approved. Final artwork is provided to the client in all formats for print and web use.
Website Design/Development: Websites are created in WordPress using high-end design templates, customizing them to reflect your company’s branding. This is the fastest way to launch your web presence—and at a significant cost savings versus a hand-coded site. For these projects, I charge an hourly design rate. Depending on the amount of design involved, the average project can take anywhere from 30-40 hours. Clients are requested to purchase and register their own domain. Clients can also purchase a domain and hosting package (I recommend doing this through GoDaddy.com), and I will post the final website files to the client’s server when ready for launch. This studio provides both design and site hosting services (billed monthly).
Presentations: Engaging and professional presentations are created using Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, or Prezi.
Printing Services: High-speed digital printing services are available for clients requiring smaller print quantities. Cost can be provided along with the design estimate upon request.
