So you’ve got a project or an idea and need a graphic designer to help bring it to life with a logo, signage and marketing materials. In this article I’m going to give you some insider tips to make sure you get the results (and value) you want.
You’ll find many designers charge by the hour, I don’t, instead I charge a fixed amount for a project based on its value to you. Why do I do this?
Yes! (Here’s why): Prospective clients are generally often reluctant to ‘give away’ a budget figure, but honestly by knowing your budget I can bring the most (and best) resources to bear to create the best possible outcome while staying inside it.
If we take a logo for example, “How much does a logo cost” is akin to asking how long a piece of string is. A logo can be created for very little, but simply put, the more you invest, the more resources are made available (more research time; number of initial ideas; amount of development; number of design revisions; amount of refinement) thus increasing the likelihood of success of the project and mitigating the risks.
With the above in mind and depending on the project I will usually give you three price options (effectively small, medium and large), each step up will provide clear benefits over the previous option so you know exactly what you’re getting for your money.
As a potential client looking to hire, think about:
