Step by step
01 / DISCOVERY & BRIEF
A discovery call is the first part of the design journey. We’ll meet for 15 minutes online via Zoom to talk about your project. It’s your dedicated time to ask me about Hello Lovely & Co. You are invited to share your plans, ideas, milestones and budget. If we agree it’s a good fit, I’ll invite you to complete a brief online to jot down your ideas.
02 / PROPOSAL
The proposal is bespoke to your project and based on our discovery call and brief. The proposal will cover a breakdown of fees with details of extra package that I believe are helpful. Once agreed, you’ll be invited to secure a space with a deposit and we’ll sign the contracts and agree a schedule of works.
03 / CREATION & DELIVERY
I’ll gather the team required and create the concepts through to delivery. At each step, I’ll be with you to give you all the support you need to accomplish your creative goals and cheerlead you. After launch I’ll ask you for some words for a case study which will feature in Gorgeous, on socials and this website.
FAQ
-
Absolutely fine. A discovery call is perfect for this as we can explore your ideas and talk about the project to get some solutions.
-
It’s not easy to pin down the rates for a graphic designer. We will all price differently according to skills and experience.
A survey of designers by Beyond the Book from 2020 suggests that junior designer day rates were £280 per day and senior/art director roles were upwards of £600 at that time.
I prefer to agree prices by the project.
This is because many projects require my skills from different disciplines of design. You get one set fee for the entire scope of the work, so you always know the exact cost and exactly what’s included. There are no hidden fees or nasty surprises — if your project starts to stray into ‘scope creep’, I’ll always let you know first.
My fees include planning, development, project management and three revision stages (or proofs), Zoom calls and a whole load of other relevant skills that I’ve gained over the years including scheduling, fonts and colours.
I offer payment plans around milestones.
-
Possibly. It depends on the software, fonts and copyright ownership. The best option is to book a discovery call to talk about what you need or pop me an email with more details.
-
No professional gives away their work free. I am no different. To provide free work means charging other clients more and equality matters more.
Design created for a pitch isn’t 100% perfect, it’s completed to ‘win’ not to meet the needs of the business, product or service through the tested methods of a good relationship, a collaborative brief, research and communication.
Selecting a designer or any service because they provide free or low cost work maybe cheaper upfront but the work is superficial and lacks the talent and depth of skills. Many studios may ask the intern or junior team member to work on pitches which can be unethical if they are unpaid or on low wages. Free work contributes to unethical wages and a cost of living crisis.
