Veelgestelde vragen
Logo & branding
This is hard to indicate: it all depends on the required items. For a small organisation I often start with 450 euros excluding VAT. I would love to make a customised proposal!
Revision rounds
In contrast to a logo design, I do make use of a revision round. It doesn't mean you can't change anything, it just costs some extra money.
Files
I deliver ready-for-printing PDF’s not the original source file (further explanation at frequently asked questions in the graphic design category).
Graphic design
Do's:
- Send photos by e-mail or WeTransfer (a free of charge platform, which helps you sending files in a simple manner without registration).
-
I prefer to receive photos with a higher resolution. Reducing size is not a problem, whereas increasing its size is.
Don'ts
- Preferably do not send photos through Facebook, WhatsApp or other platforms: they usually reduce the file size to be able to send them. This sadly does not improve its quality.
- Preferably do not send photos in a Word file. This is another platform which reduces the file size. It also increases the total time spent on the project, as I have to save each photo separately from the World file. It is of course useful as a reference to detect which photo belongs to a certain paragraph.
-
Please do not save a JPG file more than necessary. Every time you press ‘save’, the file size is reduced.
If you do not have suitable photos for your brochure or other display, I can take care of it. I can take photographs myself, yet for certain cases and for quality product photographs I cooperate with Hubaer Kusters. I can also look for stock photos. These are photos that can be downloaded against payment. The minimum cost of each download is 10 euros per photo excluding VAT.
Do you already have a printer? Great! For many clients I tend to work with a printer or copy shop close to their organisations.
Do you not yet have a network connection in the printer world? I have an extended network of suppliers. I work with printers of different price ranges, also internet printers. Besides, I am in contact with printers whom solely print sustainably on recycled paper.
I make a ready-to-print PDF. Unless you use Adobe Acrobat, it is unfortunately not possible to incorporate any changes. Before the document becomes definitive, I can of course adjust anything you wish to. This of course also holds for a possible following version of the document.
No. I format the files in Adobe InDesign. I then make a ready-to-print PDF, which is the file I make available. I cannot share the source file, as this usually brings problems on, in terms of the licensing of used fonts and photos. Besides, the source file is something that belongs to the designer, similarly to blueprints of an architect, or a recipe of a chef.
Infographics & visuals
Do you only have a rough idea, but are uncertain how to develop this in a concrete way? No problem! We will take a look at it together. Even wild ideas doodled on the back of a coaster are welcome. I enjoy developing it into something concrete, compelling and/or presentable.
A variety. I often make vector-oriented visuals, yet I can also help with more playful designs, possibly designed by Julia van Straaten of Alies de Groot. Are you looking for something special? Please let me know!
Absolutely! A lot of infographics have a specific tall aspect ratio. For usage within your PowerPoint or blogpost, the infographic can be cut into separate pieces. Each component can be saved as PNG or JPG, which can be used separately. For instance, this is usually possible for visuals such as management models. For that too, I can send a JPG or PNG if wanted.
