THE PROCESS
EASY AS 1-2-3! Clients are guided thru each project so don’t worry! Step one is requesting a quote and getting the conversation started.
The PROCESS is simple…..We talk it over first…then a sample design is sent via email…..from there we see where we are at…each step is approved before going to the next level.
It depends on the schedule, jobs however can be moved up to accommodate a clients need for a RUSH job.
We talk logo projects out first… so hopefully the logo sample you receive will be what you wanted first shot out of the box…but obviously this is not always the case. If you do like the logo and want to move forward with changes then we continue until it’s polished (within reason of course). If you DO NOT like the first draft then we talk again and try to fine tune the idea. We can repeat this process a few times.. SATISFACTION is our goal!
That can happen…however… the whole point of talking these projects out with a client and going thru a STEP APPROVAL process hopefully makes sure you get what you want.
A clients prerogative….we talk it over and make the necessary course corrections.

DESIGN SPEAK
Image files are basically a picture so it has a set optimal resolution…if the image is resized/enlarged, the image may show a distortion. Common image file formats include PNG, JPEG, TIFF and BMP.
Pantone / Pantone Matching System or PMS colors are a color matching system. This system exists to make sure a designer can match the colors to the design and this leads to consistency of color across your branding.
Vector files are files that you can resize, scale, and even change colors or fonts without losing any quality or resolution on your image. Common vector file formats include PDF, EPS, AI, and CDR.
- Resolution refers to the size, sharpness and clarity of an image. You have PIXELS and DPI (dots per inch) . 72 dpi means you have 72 pixels per one inch; if you see 300 dpi means 300 pixels per one inch, and so on.
- 72 DPI is standard on the web for the most part.
- 120-150 DPI is standard for all large display work and billboards etc.
- 300 DPI is the domain of the print world.
