FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is simple, it is either by the hour if it is an ongoing client or if it is a one time project I project an overall quote with and under / over projection in my quote.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I am an artist by nature, there are very few professions that you can make a living with other than being a Graphic Designer. Also, when my daughter was a baby, my family started a small typesetting business - this was pre-computers, and I not only knew how to do paste-up work but learned to type set very efficiently. It was the perfect transition to Mac's when they came about for Graphic Design. Although, in my business, I operate on the PC platform using the Adobe CS4 suite, as it more compatible (PC) with many other types of businesses.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Being the trend for more information going to the web instead of print, I find myself working more and more in Photoshop doing (vector) image editing. I also use Illustrator quite a bit. Unless it is a brochure or magazine I am working on - that is when I use InDesign as a means of designing my pieces. I then present phases of the project in a rotating Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro portfolio.
