FAQ
General Questions
Why hire a professional designer instead
of using
Canva or AI?
While tools like Canva and AI-generated designs can be convenient, they lack the customization, strategic thinking, and originality that a professional designer provides. I create unique, high-quality designs tailored to your brand, ensuring you stand out rather than using generic templates or auto-generated graphics. Plus, you get expert guidance on layout, typography, and branding consistency.
Why choose me?
I bring over 16 years of design experience, a degree in graphic design, and over 11 years in the printing industry. This means I understand not only how to create visually appealing designs but also how they’ll translate into print and digital formats. I use Adobe’s professional design suite to ensure high-quality, industry-standard results.
Working Together
How do we get started?
Simply reach out via my contact form or email [hello@pmdesign.pro]. We’ll discuss your project needs, goals, and style preferences. From there, I’ll provide a quote and outline the next steps.
Do I need to have a logo or design idea
in mind?
Not at all! Whether you have a fully formed concept or no idea where to start, I can help. I’ll guide you through the process, suggest creative directions, and develop something that fits your brand’s personality and goals.
Do you offer in-person or remote meetings?
I work with clients both in person and remotely. If you’re local, we can meet in person. Otherwise, I offer virtual meetings via phone, Zoom, or email—whatever works best for you! For in-person meetings requiring travel, additional fees may apply.
Design Process & Timeline
What is the design process like?
A typical project includes:
-
Consultation: We’ll discuss your needs, goals, and vision.
-
Concept Development: I’ll create initial design ideas for your feedback.
-
Revisions: Based on your input, I refine the design until it’s perfect.
-
Finalization: You receive the final files in all necessary formats.
How long does the process take?
Turnaround time depends on the project. A simple logo might take a week, while a full branding package could take a few weeks. I’ll give you a timeline upfront based on your specific needs.
Pricing & Payment
What is the payment process like?
Once we agree on the project scope, I’ll send an invoice with payment details. The invoiced price is all-inclusive and will only change if more items are requested as we work through the project. I accept payments via PayPal Invoices (Credit, Debit, Pay in 4), Venmo, and CashApp.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, I require a deposit of 50% of the invoice total to begin work. This secures your project in my schedule and confirms our mutual commitment. The remaining balance can be paid at any time during the project, but must be paid in full before final files are delivered.
Design Deliverables & Tools
What design software
do you use?
I use Adobe’s professional design suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, to create high-quality, industry-standard designs.
What does a logo package include?
A typical logo package includes:
-
High-resolution files for print and web (JPEG, PNG, SVG, PDF, etc.).
-
Color variations (full-color, black & white, transparent background).
-
A branding guide with fonts and color codes.
-
Optional add-ons like social media graphics or business card design.
Can you create designs for both print and digital use?
Absolutely! Whether you need something for social media, a website, or printed materials like flyers, business cards, or apparel, I design with the final format in mind to ensure the best quality.
