Can I contact you if I have a different kind of project that is not listed above?

Of course you can contact me even if you have a different kind of project.

If the project if something that interests me or a kind of project similar to the ones listed above, we can discuss it further. If you have a project that is very different from what I design and you need my advice on how to proceed with it, I will be happy to help you with it.

How do I contact you for a project that I have?

Send me a brief of the project.

You can email me or leave me a message through the contact me page and I will get reply back within 3-4 working days or as soon as I check the message/ email.

Can we have a discuss on the scope of project?

Of course. We can have a video meeting for discussing the project. Google Meet or Zoom is fine for me.

Based on your time zone and what time is suitable for me, we can decide the time and day for a meeting and I will send you an invite for the meeting.

What do I mention in the Project Brief?

  • What kind of design you are looking for?
  • If you have a brand guidelines for font/ image/ color usage.
  • A brief on what the company does or what the brand wants to portray.
  • What is your budget range?
  • Who is your target audience?
  • Size details.

Can you share WhatsApp number so that I can call you and discuss the project?

Sorry but I do not share my number with any client as it is only for personal use. However, we can have a meeting on Google Meet or Zoom, whatever if convenient for you.

Size requirements/ die cuts

If you have specific size requirements, do let me know. I will design the project based on your requirement.

For packaging and label design, you can provide me Die-cuts.

How much do you charge for designing?

The charges for any project depends on the type and amount of content that needs to be designed plus the amount of time it will take to design.

Shorter deadline projects are charged slightly more.

Do you take short deadline like 48-72 hours projects?

Yes, I do.

However, shorter deadline projects are charged slightly more.

Do you charge hourly or project basis?

I charge based on the type of project and the content that needs to be designed.

Extra work/ edits required

What do I do if I have some more edits in the project after it is complete?

You can send me an email with the required edits. Additional edits will be charged depending on the scope of work.

Final Files and Software I use

Which software do you use?

Depending on the client's requirement I use Adobe software or PowerPoint or Word, Google Slides.

After the client sends me a brief, I usually ask them what they would prefer me to use and what they are comfortable with using.

Will I get an editable design file?

Yes. At the end of the project when I will send you the final design files, I will send you an editable file so that you can make any adjustments if needed.

Sometimes due to lack of features in the software, certain elements used in the design might not be editable or the original files provided by clients are not editable. In this case you will not get a fully editable design. For example: In Google Slides, when a vector icon or graph is placed, it shows as an image and is not editable.

What will I receive as Final Files?

You will receive mockup of the design, PDF with bleeds in case of brochure, magazines, catalogs, flyers and the original design files.

I want you to design the same project in another software, how do we proceed?

If after completion of project, you feel you want the project in another software, do let me know. We can have a discussion on the your requirements and I can work on the project after we have an agreement.

In this case, designing the project in another software will have additional charges.

Payment and invoice:

How do I make payment?

I will send you invoice through PayPal. You can make the payment using the invoice you receive.

Do you accept bank transfers?

Very rarely. Usually bank transfers are considered as inward/ outward remittance and I will have to show receipts, reasons for the transfer and it includes charges so I usually don't accept payments through bank transfers.

Only in cases of some special commission projects or as award money, I use Bank Transfers.

How does payment works?

Depending on the quote agreed upon, I will divide the payment into 2-3 invoices.

  • The first invoice will be for draft payment, usually ranges from $75-$100. This amount needs to be paid after we have an agreement on project requirement and quotation. After this amount is paid, I will start working on the first draft with 2-3 concept design options. Once you like one of the concepts, I will go ahead and send you the send invoice for the next stage of the project.
  • Once you make payment for the second invoice, based on your selected concept, I will go ahead and work on the design.
  • If the quote is divided into 3 invoices, a third invoice will be sent after stage 2 of the design process if over. Once the payment is made, I will start working on third part of the project.
  • Each design stage will have 2-3 edits included.

Do you charge for additional slides/ pages/ elements?

Yes. Any additional slide/ page/ elements will be charged. Depending on the scope of work, the amount will be charged.

Mostly this ranges from $30 and above.

What do I do if I have some more edits in the project after it is complete?

You can send me an email with the required edits. Additional edits will be charged depending on the scope of work.
