Step 1:     We will meet and discuss your project. At this meeting we will discuss the image you want your business to have and I have a short form for you to fill out to give me a good idea of the style of design you are looking for. At this stage I will be trying to get to know your business. We may also discuss papers and size possibilities if it is applicable to your project. At this meeting I may offer some marketing and advertising suggestions that I believe may give your business an edge over your competitors. We will also discuss your budget for the project and which printing plan may be right for you.

Step 2:     I will send you a quote which will incluse the cost of printing. Your quote will also include a timeline so you know when the first review of your project will be scheduled. Additional reviews beyond that are subject to the number of revisions and the complication involved in each revision. I will send a description of your project with the quote to verify what we discussed. A signed copy of the quote must be returned to me in order for the quote to be approved. You are also approving the project description with the quote. This avoids any problems in communication.

Step 3:     50% of the total design costs are due before work can begin on your project. Once the quote is approved, deposit is paid, and the applicable materials are supplied by you, work will begin. Applicable materials may include any text you wanted to write yourself or any images you wanted to supply. After your deposit is paid you have 30 days to supply any material you wanted to supply or your account will be closed. It is $50.00 to reopen an account. I cannot keep deadlines when I don't know when I will receive materials. If there is a circumstance that prevents this and I have prior knowledge then the account can remain open.

Step 4:     Photographic sessions (if applicable) will be scheduled.

Step 5:     Reviews will begin. They will continue until you are happy with your project. Reviews of your project are done online whenever possible. This is done to save time and make things faster. If it is preferred that we handle reviews by meeting in person that can also be arranged. You will always have more than one design to choose from. The number of choices depend on your project. (Exception: Catalogs and projects containing multiple pages may only have one proof to review.)

Step 6:     Once we have finalized the design we will revisit the discussion on papers to be used. Before we send your project to print we want to make sure our communication is accurate on this subject. The total printing costs will be due at this time. It is important that all revisions have been made to the design at this point and the project has been finalized. A proof will be supplied for viewing by the printer for your approval which we will meet for. If you want to make a revision at this time there will be a $70.00 charge for the revision. Once the proof is approved no other revisions can be made.

Step 7:     I will deliver the project to you in the quantity requested along with your project files on disk. The balance will be due at this time. If at any point you need more prints of your project you just pay the cost of printing and I will handle the delivery of the project and working with the printer again.
