This is an important question but its one that doesn't have a direct answer.

The price depends upon a number of factors. For instance if you were after a logo design, would you require 2 or 5 initial design ideas? If you want a website designed, how many pages will it have? etc

If you contact me with a detailed description I will be able to give you a quote.

This is again dependant on a number of factors, like how much work I have on at the time and how complex the project is.

At the beginning of the project I will be able to inform you of all the timeframes of the different stages of the job.

The design process has many different stages:

The Design Brief: I will give a questionnaire or have an interview with the client to discuss what they want from the project.

Research: I will do research on the industry itself, on its history, and on its competitors.

Sketching: I start any design process with a simple pencil and paper to develop the design concepts around the brief and research.

Reflection: Its important to have breaks form a project throughout the design process to let ideas develop.

Rendering: Ideas will then be transfered onto the computer using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Discuss: Ideas will be sent to the client for review and feedback.

Finish: Final touches will be made after feedback and once both parties are happy final file formats will sent.

Payments can be made in a number of ways like bank transfer, paypal, cheque or a bank draft.

In most cases I require a 50% down payment before the project starts and the final 50% will be paid at the end of the project prior to final files being sent out.

I will send you Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) files or if you requests different file formats I will be more than happy to help.

Any ideas you have are welcome and we can work together to design you the perfect logo.

Yes.
