Quality Designs for Your Professional Image

In graphic & print design I strive to create quality designs that help small businesses, organizations, & ministries project a professional image to their clients and customers.

I aim for quality and customer satisfaction in every project. Because I work independently, I am able to offer professional quality at a lower cost. The rates below reflect a general estimate for my design services, and may be adjusted according to the requirements of individual customer projects. I am always willing to discuss the specifics of your project without cost or obligation, so please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

A Word About File Formats

The list of file formats, and all their acronyms, may seem a bit daunting. Don’t be overwhelmed, though, as each of these files can be useful in different ways, and when a time comes that you need one of the formats, you will be ever so glad it is included in your delivered files. Which files you receive can depend on the type of design you are having done as well as any preferences your professional printer may have. It is ever so helpful to me, the designer, if I know in advance who your printer will be and what their specifications and preferences are. Additionally, there will be differences when delivering a small web graphic versus delivering an extra-large print banner.

Here are short explanations on the file formats and acronyms:

• AI: Vector format used to create most designs. Vector work that can be resized as small or large as you like without loss of sharp detail.
• EPS: Vector format great for use in high quality printing and commonly used by professional printers.
• PDF: A universal file format, easily opened by almost everyone. Used in professional printing. Can include vector or other designs.
• PSD: Useful for home/office printing. Occasionally requested by professional printers, though vector formats are usually preferred.
• JPG: Used for web or home/office printing. Easily import into desktop applications like Microsoft Word, and more. Low res (resolution) versions should be used only for web, high res versions can be printed. Backgrounds cannot be transparent.
• PNG: Similar to JPG, except backgrounds can be completely transparent. Low and high resolution versions should be used according to JPG recommendations above.
