before you ask
Sometimes you need clarification — fast. Please find the answers to my most commonly asked questions below. If you would like more help, I'm only a message away!
What types of design services do you offer?
Logos, brand identities, websites, business cards... the list goes on! Visit my Services page to see how I can help you create a cohesive, strategic visual presence.
What are your rates and how do I request a quote?
Rates depend on the unique requirements of your project, including deliverables and timeline. You can request a quote by filling out the form on my Contact page!
Do you require a deposit and when is the final payment due?
A 50% deposit is required to begin work. The remaining balance is due upon project completion, before receiving your final files.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept PayPal, check, or cash.
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects are completed within 2 weeks. Larger projects can take up to 8 weeks, depending on scope and complexity.
How will we communicate during the project?
While I prefer email, I’m happy to jump on a call, video chat, or even meet for lunch — whatever works best for you.
How many revisions are included and what happens if I need more?
Each deliverable includes 3 rounds of revisions. Additional rounds may incur an hourly fee as outlined in our contract. Most clients are happy before all 3 rounds are even used!
What counts as a revision?
A revision is any change or adjustment to your design after you’ve received the initial concept. This can include things like colors, fonts, layout, or text. Revisions are meant to refine the creative, not completely change it. That said, if you’re not in love with the initial concept, I’ll work with you to ensure you get exactly what you need to feel confident and excited about the final result.
What file formats will I receive at project completion?
The exact files you receive will depend on your project. However, common formats include JPG, PNG, PDF, TIFF, GIF, PSD, EPS, AI, SVG, INDD, and Favicon. To make things easy, I’ll include a quick guide with your final files so you’ll know exactly how to use each one.
Will I own the final designs?
Yes! You’ll receive full ownership of the designs and working files.
Can I use your designs in ads or merch? Are there any restrictions?
Absolutely! You can use your designs for the purposes they were created. For example, a t-shirt graphic on apparel or social media graphics in your marketing. Designs work best in their intended context, so using them in other ways might not give the best results. If you need guidance on adapting your design, I’m happy to help.
Can you help with creative strategy, not just design?
Every project includes creative strategy — making thoughtful, strategic decisions is part of every design I create. If you’d like guidance or a consultation without a full project, email me at ben@barrett.graphics.
Can you redesign my existing logo or brand instead of starting from scratch?
I can definitely work with your existing logo or brand! However, I may make strong recommendations to better position your business. Design isn’t just about your favorite color or font, it’s about creating visuals that connect with your target audience. My goal is to refine and elevate your brand so it looks great and works strategically.
Can you help with printing or sign installation?
I don’t handle printing or sign installation directly, but I’m happy to provide vendor recommendations and assist with communication to ensure your design is produced perfectly.
Do you offer support after the project ends?
Yes! I’m always happy to provide guidance after your project is complete. Whether it’s using your files, adapting your design, or planning next steps, I’m just an email away.
