Here’s a list of some frequently asked graphic design questions - that you might find helpful:
-
I have over 10 years experience as a freelance graphic designer working in the graphic design industry, specialising in graphic design, and branding with a focus on, logo design, brand identity design, and packaging design.
I work with many companies in many different sectors of all shapes and sizes, from startups, and SME’s to larger established brands and organisations. I’ve helped companies gain listings with many large and independent retailers, from Booths, and Marks and Spencer, to Selfridges, and Planet Organic.
You can view all my previous work on my projects page here. As I’m a freelancer I’m able to focus on your project from start to finish, working directly with you throughout the whole design process - so no account managers, or junior designers here. just a one on one personal approach.
I also collaborate with developers, and photographers, etc, to offer a full graphic design service offering, just like a graphic design agency, but without the design agency fees.

I quote for projects on a project by project basis. This is based on the project brief/details. I normally offer a free consultation, and also send over a discovery questionnaire to fill out. This helps to outline the project details, and also helps with any brand strategy/positioning too. I then provide a detailed proposal, and also the full design process/turnaround time for the design/branding project.
-
It depends on the size of the project, - but I aim to complete small to medium sized branding/packaging design projects within 3-4 weeks. Sometimes projects can take a little longer depending on feedback.
-
If you would like to go ahead with the project, I normally require a 50% deposit upfront, and the remaining balance on project completion. I can then get the design project booked in for you, and we can arrange a kick off call, to start the design project.

I generally work by email/zoom, and over the phone. I normally send through initial design/branding concepts over by email, and then we can either discuss over email, phone, or via a video call. We can also arrange face to face meetings, if you are based in Leeds/Bradford/Yorkshire.
-
When the design project has been completed, and I’ve received final payment, I then send over all the final branding/design assets in all the appropriate file formats. If It’s a packaging/print project, I’ll send all the final cutter guides/artwork through in a PDF that’s all setup ready for print. If It’s design for web, then I’ll send through all the final files in web format.
