General Design Fee: $40.00/hr.
This applies to all image generation including both computer and traditional drawing/painting on paper or canvas, and any research involved. Computer programs frequently utilized are; Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as fractal generators.
This fee also applies to document generation with QuarkXpress, unless the document is part of a prearranged template. If special painting material or software is required, an additional fee may be assessed.
There is a 50% deposit required for all projects estimated over $100. All projects must undergo a general estimate for labor, time, media, etc., to determine the amount of the deposit before work begins. Once a design is approved, any deviating changes are also subject to this design fee. If a tight budget is involved, greater savings may be achieved by having a good idea of what is desired with regard to images and text before the project begins. If you would like a rush put on the project, it will considerably increase the design fee.
*Please note: Communication by phone or e-mail is necessary, and I will let clients know when I require additional information. Time allotted for phone calls to and from clients is included in the billable hours. Usually the time is minor and easily absorbed, but the client should be aware that the longer the designer spends on the phone giving progress reports, the longer it will take to get to work on their project and if excessive, could delay the deadline, or if extreme, cancel the project. Client consideration for both time and choice of topic should be considered. Please be advised that anything in excess of two 15 minute calls a week for a moderately sized project is usually unnecessary. Calls will be monitored for time, and if they exceed 30 minutes a week, they will be both billed and assessed for adjustment to the deadline of the project.
