Design Tips

Design fees are based on time. The more time it takes, the more it will cost.

The special design rate for Realtors is $60/hr. Our standard rate is $75/hr.

The more information you can provide, the faster we can work for you, and the less it will cost you. We are happy to design something for you from scratch, but it will probably cost more than if you can give us some direction, such as ideas you have, favorite colors or samples of other designs you like.

The final quality of your project will only be as good as the quality of graphics you provide. You must provide high resolution photos and graphics or "vector" graphics and logos for the best results.

Allow enough time. Good design and creativity take time. Revisions to get it just perfect take even more time. A rushed job may look rushed, and we try to avoid that.

Realtors - DESIGN OPTIONS

 

PHOTO EDITING - from $25

In general, to remove a background from a photo, to touch up blemishes and/or to adjust colors is usually $25. More editing may cost more. We will keep the edited photo on file and email a copy to you if you wish.

 

LOGOS - from $125 / $275 / $495

A basic logo based on simple text or fonts will start at $125. Our standard logo design starts at $275 which will give you a basic custom design. A more design intensive logo may start at $495.

We often provide at least 3 logo versions and as many revisions as necessary. Logos are designed as 1-color or 2-color. We do not recommend full color logos because they are often very expensive to reproduce and in many cases (other than printing on paper), full color is not available.

Final price will depend on complexity, number of revisions, and total time spent on the logo.

 

BUSINESS CARDS - from $25 (standard TEMPLATES often cost less)

10 minutes of basic typesetting is included with any business card order.

If you choose a template business card, there is no design fee, but you must provide all the necessary content.

Custom Business Card design starts at $25. $45 is usually the max, but the sky is the limit - we can create whatever kind of business card you want.

 

FLYERS - from $25 (standard TEMPLATES often cost less)

8.5"x11" single-sided flyer - $25, double-sided - $30

You provide the photos and content. We produce a custom layout. We keep your layout on file to use as a template for future flyers. A consistent look gives a professional impression. Complex designs and/or excessive revisions may cost more.

QUESTIONS

What is BLEED?

Bleed is an industry term that most simply means "printing all the way to the edge of the finished piece". Or in other words, "no white margins along the edge of the finished piece". Bleed doesn't imply better, it's simply another choice. Bleed is usually more expensive than No Bleed.

How many EXTRAS do you usually print?
We only print what you order. You will usually get some extra, BUT DON'T COUNT ON IT. So if you need 1000 plus some extra, you should order more than 1000.
Will I be charged a rush fee for same day service?
It depends. Most printing jobs normally take more than a day, so if you request same day service for those jobs, you will be charged a 30% rush fee. But for basic printing jobs that we normally print same day on the fly, like flyers, there is no rush fee. We will always let you know beforehand if your request will incur a rush fee.

TIPS

Always ask about price breaks

A price break is a drop in price once you reach a certain quantity. You may only want 100, but what if 250 only costs a little bit more? We usually point this out, but just in case, always ask.
