BEFORE YOU PRINT
A useful brief makes the design more focused
Tell us who you want to reach and what you need them to understand. That gives the design a clear starting point.
Show us where it will be used
Send the product size or approved dieline, where it will be seen and any existing brand material. A logo on a small label, a folded brochure and a large display need different arrangements.
Confirm what you need back
Before we start, agree on the copy, work involved, revisions and final files you need. If you need editable files or extra formats, ask about them at that stage.

What logo files should I send?
Vector PDF, EPS or Illustrator files are preferred. A high-resolution image may work for some applications; send it for review.
Can you use a photo I found online?
Send photos you own or have permission to use, or ask about licensed stock images. Stock images are separate from standard graphic design fees.
How long does design take?
Many standard design jobs take 2–4 business days. More complex work takes longer; we’ll estimate the timing once we’ve reviewed your brief.
Do I receive editable files?
Once the design is paid for, you can request the final files in a flat format. Editable source files aren’t included, so tell us about any specific file needs before we start.
Can I make changes after the proof?
Design time includes revisions and file changes. Ask for an estimate when requesting changes.
