Steps
The following Steps outline the standard process for preparing, designing, revising and delivering your Design Product in an effective and timely manner.
Criteria
When determining your project requirements, include:
• Products – for example: Logo, Newsletter, Signature, Website
• Outline – concepts, sketches, table of contents, website pages
• Reference – diagrams and website links are encouraged
• Materials – brand, imagery, text, video, other…
• Color – preferences or technical specifications
• Size – dimensions, approximate or exact
• Style – classic, modern, futuristic, etc.
Schedule
Based on your project’s Criteria we will present a Standard Schedule. Should you need an expedited schedule with faster turnaround, a Rush Schedule may be available for an additional fee – typically double and may vary according to the urgency of the deadline.
Quote
You will receive an email invoice Quote – usually within 24 hours – confirming the Schedule, Criteria, Line Items with amounts and balance. Design Product services incur no sales tax. Printing is typically not included in our Quotes, and printed materials from a professional printer are usually subject to sales tax.
Payment
Design Products require full payment In-Advance. Divided Payments: such as Start, Mid-Project and Final Invoice may be available when multiple Design Products / larger projects are needed, upon inquiry.
Design
Our design style is bright and friendly, and we are happy to meet your specific needs. Design is performed in a timely manner and preview imagery is sent to you for review. We provide expert attention to color and detail.
Revisions
Revisions – with your consolidated feedback from all key personnel – are then returned to BuzzCandy.Design detailing what changes are needed. We perform Revisions and send preview imagery for Finalization.
Finalization
Client then provides any minor changes: image correction, typos, text edits. A Proof file will follow as verification. Finalization implies your acceptance and sign-off.
Final Invoice
Any added fees incurred by you during the design process will be included ( with your agreement ) and billed at the rate of $100 / hour. Final payment for your Invoice is required prior to delivery of your final Design Product.
Final Art
A finalized Design Product, provided as Final Art, at full resolution for its intended use, will be delivered to you with license rights in effect ( see Terms / License for more info ).
Master Files
Master Files are usually a complex form of a variety of files, sitting on multiple layers, marked up in short hand. Preparing a Master File for a client to use with any proficiency, in our experience, takes a lot of work to articulate often demanding a tailored guide, and specialized proprietary software is required to operate the different Parts. Plus, if you ever purchase the Master File – typically double the base fee – we're releasing our right to ever make money from that product again ( see Terms / License for more information ). Rest assured, your affordable Design Product ( without the Master File ) will be the exact resource you need: Final Art.
