FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices vary per project. My pricing system described as succinctly as possible is as follows; Three options, Cheap, Fast and Quality. You may only choose two of the three options. For example, if you want it done cheap and quality, it will take a longer amount of time. If you want it quality and fast, it will not be cheap. If you would like it cheap and fast it will not be quality. Typically I ask to be paid $20USD/Hr but will negotiate if a project specifically interests me.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First thing we'll do is establish a process of communication, whether that be through Skype, Email or Phone. I'd like to get to know my client as well as I can to get a better idea of what they are passionate about, and how I can best assist them with bringing their project to fruition. Similarly I understand that some clients are not interested in socializing with their employed party and I will maintain a strictly professional dialogue if that is what makes them most comfortable. Once I've made contact with my client and we've discussed finances and objectives I will gather examples and images and compile them for the client to look through. If a client chooses to give me complete creative control of the visual aspects of their project I will still consult them before making any decisions. If the client and I agree on the direction in which project is going I will continue into my drafting stage. Should it be a logo design, I will provide color swatches and sketches for the client to choose or suggest alterations. If the project is an animation, illustration or comic book I will create sketches and designs as examples for the client to review in an effort to help refine what visual style we are pursuing for any given project and give the project clear direction. Throughout any project I will keep constant contact with a client consulting them every step of the way.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I previously attended Columbus College of Art and Design where I achieved a 3.56 GPA and made the presidents list. Currently I must gather the funds to proceed in my education being that I must pay for it myself.
