Guide to Print
 
Each design project has 4 main stages:

Stage 1
We will discuss your requirements and evaluate any materials (images and text).  We prefer all text supplied to be in Word format and to have been copy-edited and proof-read.  If you need help writing or finishing your text we can help you with this as an additional service.

You can supply your own images (this will keep the costs down), but please be aware that some materials are not suitable for high-resolution printing.  We will advise you on the suitability of your images at the initial brief.  If you only have hard copy versions of any photos or drawings we can scan these for you.  We can also source professional photos and illustrations or commission new artwork.

Stage 2
We will work on the design of your material based on the brief and e-mail a set of initial proofs in PDF-format for your assessment. At this point you can advise us of any design changes, amendments or corrections needed.

Stage 3
Based on your feedback a revised set of PDFs are sent for your approval.  We generally provide 2 sets of revisions for most print publications and are happy to make minor additional tweaks and changes at no further cost. However, if you require additional full sets of revisions these will be costed separately.

For logo designs we create at least four ideas and based upon your comments will either make alterations to one of the existing designs or come up with alternative ideas.

Stage 4
Once all amendments are complete, the job is converted to high-resolution print-ready files. Dealing with print suppliers can be a frustrating process if you do not understand printing technology, so we will therefore not only design your material but also act as the main contact for the printers to make sure everything goes smoothly. Our charges do not include printing your job but we can get quotes for you and liaise with the printer of your choice to make sure your job goes through smoothly.
