Work terms:WE PROVIDE AN EXTENSIVE, USEFUL & COMPREHENSIVE SET OF TOOLS WITH & FOR EACH PROJECT:



• No templates will be ever used for any of the identity projects I develop. The brainstorming process is of utmost importance.





• A market and competitors study will be performed based on the information you provide and the available information on your competition.






• ARTWORK DELIVERED IN PRINTER FRIENDLY AND WEB READY FORMATS (For PC or MAC or Hybrid) Full color, PMS colors, 3 color, 2 Colors - Grayscale or Black & White.






• The project will be developed, online, in stages, providing valuable information until its completion. You will be provided with a well-planned process that gives you as much input and control as you desire while making available to you expert opinions and advice.






• You OWN THE COPYRIGHT of your work.






• Once the files are prepared for production, you will also receive a Technical Data Sheet with all the specifications of the project.






• Receive advise on what kind of papers to use for your project, when printing is required.



• Further assistance will be available after the project is finalized.






• Working remotely, online, poses different challenges. One of them is accountability. The security of having everything documented works for the client and the designer; therefore the use of digital/web media tools is an asset to this and any other project developed online.
