Frequently asked questions

Graphic design

How much does graphic design cost?

That depends a lot on the type of job and work involved.

For a business card or a flyer, for example, it may be a set price, whereas for a multi-page brochure or report I often charge on a per-page basis.

What do you need from me?

Depending on the type of job, I may ask you to provide:

  • text as a plain-text file, Microsoft Word or LibreOffice file
  • your branding and logo guidelines
  • your logo as a vector file (AI, CDR, EPS, PDF, SVG)
  • images/photos as bitmap files (AVIF, JPEG, PNG) in the highest available resolution

What do I get from you?

Generally I provide:

  • drafts and proofs as PDF files by email
  • print-ready files as PDF files, downloadable from the cloud
  • native files (AI, CDR, INDD, IDML) on request

Who owns the artwork?

The artwork is yours.

Can you arrange the printing for me?

The printing is best done at your local printing or photocopying service.

I provide a link that allows you or your printing service to download your print-ready PDF file from the cloud.

The Te Aka Māori Dictionary defines a waharoa as “entrance to a pā, gateway, main entranceway.”

The design brief was for two interpretation panels, one for each side of the waharoa:
