HOW DOES THE DESIGN PROCESS WORK?
discuss
The design process begins with either a phone interview or a meeting to discuss your vision, target audience and all the components of your project.
01
estimate
With the information gathered from our discussion, an estimate is emailed to you for review. After your approval is received, a timeline will be submitted outlining the deliverables.
02
create
Researching and discovering your technology, market and competitors helps identify where your company should be. Designs are then created and executed into concepts.
03
present
Here's where the ideas are presented. Together we review the concepts and you choose the design that provides the best direction for your project. If we need to alter the design, a second meeting is then set until you are satisfied.

WHAT TYPE OF PAYMENT DO YOU REQUIRE UP FRONT?
First time clients where the estimate exceeds $1500, a 50% deposit to start the project is required with the full amount due upon completion. Cash, checks or payment thru PayPal is acceptable.
IS THE ARTWORK MINE AFTER I PAY YOU?
Yes. All origiinal artwork is yours once payment is made in full. If any of your artwork incorporated stock imagery (which would’ve been outlined in estimate) stock imagery must be purchased in advance and licensed in your name or business name. Once payment is made in full, all artwork will be emailed to you or copied onto a DVD. We archive all projects up to 3 years.
DO YOU PROVIDE PRINTING?
Yes. Being a print broker provides you, the client, better rates than if you were
to outsource the printing yourself. Basic digital copying as well as high-end litho printing is offered as well as UV spot varnishing, foil stamping, aquas coating, embossing,
debossing, die cutting and custom bindery and packaging.
Signage, screen printing on apparel, speciality products and framing is also available.

WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
Choosing complimenting colors or simple patterns works best. If the session you choose includes our "Color Coordinating Outfit & Rooms" service, you’re covered. If your session doesn't, head over to the Pinterest page to view some ideas.: http://www.pinterest.com/creativefools/what-to-wear/
SHOULD WE PROVIDE YOU WITH A SHOTLIST?
If you have particular posed shots that you want, I would love to see them. Send a link to your Pinterest board or provide hard copies. Same applies for brides, provide a list or we can provide you with a link to download our standard photo list so you can list important family members and check off which photos are most important.
