Design Information
The client agrees that they will give full details/ description to the designer. If information is not sent, please refer to Ghosting Clause for additional information. Client also understands that what is submitted onto the design form or discussed during consultation calls will be used for the design.
Revisions
The designer will provide up to 3 revisions for the client. Once the client has reviewed the design, the client has 3 opportunities, with no charge, to give full descriptions of changes needed done. Once the client has fulfilled the 3 drafts, they understand there will be an additional $5 fee added for each additional change. Please understand that theses 3 revisions mean that they are only 3 MODIFICATIONS.
​
A revision refers to making adjustments or improvements to an existing design, typically to refine or enhance specific elements without changing the overall structure or concept. It involves tweaking aspects like colors, fonts, layouts, or content based on feedback or new requirements.
​
On the other hand, a new design involves creating something entirely fresh, starting from scratch, and developing a completely new look, feel, and structure that aligns with updated goals or a new vision.
The client also understands that once he/she has received their final copies for their design, that they can NOT ask for any additional changes. If they do so, you will be charged for the price of a new design.

Revisions take 2-3 business days to complete but can take longer depending on work load!
Please also understand communication is key. Once you send information for your project, the creative process will begin. Delayed responses for design work, can effect your turnaround time.
The turnaround time for all Graphic Design Services, begins when payment has been made, design form is completed and all content (i.e., images, pictures, bio, information, links, etc.) for the design project has been supplied by the CLIENT.
