1. What specific graphic design services do you offer?
My primary focus areas include: Logo Design, Brand Identity, Web Design, Ads & Social Media Design.
In addition, I take graphic design-related projects like cover art, poster, video thumbnail designs, but not limited to those.
2. Can you explain your approach to design?
My design approach is a thoughtful and collaborative process that centers around understanding the unique needs and aspirations of my clients.
3. What types of files do you provide upon completion of a project?
Upon completion of a project, I provide my clients with a requested package as well as potentiallly necessary of files to ensure versatility and accessibility for their design assets. The deliverables typically include: Vector Files (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF), Raster Files ( JPG, PNG), Layered Source Files (PSD, AI, INDD), Typography Files (e.g., TTF, OTF). I often include mock-ups or application samples or print-ready files with the appropriate color profiles, resolutions, and bleed settings.
4. Can clients request revisions, and how many are typically included in your packages?
Absolutely, client satisfaction & project completion are the top priorities for me. I include an equal number of revisions to the number of the review stages – three stages. During each revision round, clients can communicate their feedback, suggest changes, or request modifications to elements such as colour schemes, typography, layout, and design aesthetics. After the final stage of the design, I offer one complimentary revision. However, any other request after that is to be treated as an addition or a separate project, & to be billed individually.
5. What communication channels do you use, and how often can clients expect updates?
To facilitate effective collaboration with clients, I utilize a variety of communication channels tailored to their preferences and convenience. Typically, I use Email as a primary mode of communication for project updates & sharing design concepts. I prefer to host the initial interview & the following review sessions as Virtual Meetings through platforms such as Zoom, Discord, or Google Meet. Likewise, for time-sensitive matters, I may contact through the commonly used Messaging Platforms.
7. What is your payment structure, and do you require a deposit?
I understand that some clients may be uncertain about their design needs or may require guidance in shaping their creative vision. I offer free initial & follow-up consultations for all the clients.
8. What factors can affect project timelines, and how do you manage deadlines?
Ideally, each project is to be treated individually. I consider the follwoing factors: Scope of Work, Client Responsiveness, Revisions and Iterations, Unexpected Changes or External Dependencies.
To uphold deadlines effectively, I implement the following strategies: Clear Communication, Realistic Planning, Buffer Time, & Proactive Issue Resolution.
9. Who owns the rights to the final designs, and are there any restrictions on usage?
I assign all the rights to the client, except being able to showcase the work. Here is a detailed description:
