Question 1

Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

I pride myself on the quality of my work. Striving for every job to be the best I can produce. I offer customers the opportunity for a final sign off so any errors can be picked up before jobs are printed.

Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Graphic design found me. From an early age, I enjoyed art and design and showed a creative ability. After trying other creative disciplines (I thought I wanted to be an animator and film maker) I settled on graphic design and haven't looked back.

I love the variety of new creative challenges on a daily basis. It is very rewarding to see your ideas executed and out in the market place.

Question 4

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

What range of skills do you offer? What is your experience? Do you have examples of previous work I can see? What is your rate?

Question 5

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

"How much do you charge?" There is no manual for graphic design, no text book full of answers. Each design problem requires its own unique solution which requires time and skill to complete. By giving clear and detailed quotes, I hope to remove any unwanted surprises at the completion of the project.

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

Typically, I ask a series of questions to get an outline of your requirements. 1. Job description 2. Who is the target market? 3. Special requirements – any existing fonts, colours to be used? 4. Where will it appear – signage, web site? 5. Any previous examples? 6. What have competitors done, name them? 7. Can you included any examples of what you like? 8. What's the time scale and budget? This helps provide a clear summary of what I can achieve within that time frame budget.

Question 9

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

1, Producing a detailed brief is essential. I can work with you the customer in producing a full detailed brief, so we are both clear on what is required before the design process begins, saving time and money. 2, Find the right graphic designer for you. Look at there past examples of work, can they adapt styles to fit the design requirement or does there work all look the same? 3, Can the designer work across numerous disciplines?
