What services do you offer?
• Logo & Collateral Design (Print, Web, Apparel, Vehicle, Signage, Displays, etc.)
• On-Site Adobe InDesign and Illustrator Training
• Design Consulting

How much will it cost?
One Million Dollars. No, seriously, I can work for you on an hourly basis or we can come up with an overall project estimate. Either way, cost is determined based on the complexity and scope of the project and the details involved. Every design project is unique and the best way to get started is to call me at 260-580-0099 and I will create a project proposal based upon our conversation.

What will be provided?
A typical logo design project includes custom logo design concepts, revisions, finalized raster and vector file formats, and all rights. Throughout the design process you will receive proof files via email. The finalized artwork will be provided in print-ready vector formats such as EPS and PDF. If it is a web-based project, layered Photoshop files (PSD) and web-ready JPG, GIF, or PNG files may be provided. Specific file type requests will also be accommodated. A custom style guide indicating PANTONE color specifications for print and web may also be created upon request.

What is the design process?
Identity33 has a design blog with the intent of showcasing the process that goes on behind projects. In a nutshell, the design process goes something like this:
1. Project Overview (Let's discuss your project details and goals)
2. Research, Research, Research
3. Brainstorming and Sketches (Sketching ideas on paper before going to the computer)
4. First Draft Presented and Feedback
5. Revisions and Final Design Presented
6. Delivery of Final Artwork

How do we get started?
Call me at 260-580-0099 or email hello@identity33.com.
If you happen to live in the Fort Wayne area I would love to sit down with you over your beverage of choice and discuss your project.

How long will the project take?
Timeframes vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. I believe strongly in providing timely communication and professional service to everyone I work with.

Can you help me get my design printed, built, or installed?
Yes. I can prepare and send out estimate requests to printers or prepare artwork for online printing. I can also help you locate printers or signage manufacturers in your area to produce and install your final designs.

What payment methods do you accept?
• Personal, Company, or Certified Check
• PayPal (You do not need to open a PayPal account to use this option.)
Unless otherwise agreed upon, an up front deposit of 50% (based on the initial project estimate amount) is required for all projects. The remaining 50% of the project invoice is due upon completion of the project, and just before delivery of the finalized artwork.

What software do you use?
Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium. This includes Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash and Acrobat Professional. I am also available to provide on-site Adobe Illustrator and InDesign instruction to individuals and businesses.

Do you provide speculative or 'spec' work?
No. Hiring a graphic designer is not like buying a car. You may be able to test drive a car, but requesting to test drive a designer is wrong. I have provided an online portfolio and blog showcasing completed projects. Hopefully, this will provide enough insight to discern whether or not I will be a good fit for your needs.

Do you ever donate work 'pro bono'?
Sometimes. Pro bono graphic design is professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment as a public service. I reserve the right to determine who, what and when to provide work for the public good. If we do enter into a pro bono project, we will still follow the same design process used for any other project and set up specific goals, expectations and limits.

What if I have more questions?
If you have additional questions that are not covered here, please feel free to contact me via email or call 260-580-0099. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
