Sometimes it seems brain surgery has to be performed to pull a tooth. Dealing with designers is no differnt at times, but Ray makes the entire design process easy.


Phase 1, Confer and Consult;

First we'll start a review process that will touch on all aspects of your project, from design, contractual and payment terms.

Phase 2, Design and Compose; 
Upon your acceptance of the price. You will need to enter into an "Design of Artwork Agreement" (this is not nessessary on small jobs - usually a 50% down payment will safice) and begin the compositional sketch process with the Artist, for a price of $100 to $1,000 for the production of compositional sketches (the price varies depending on the complexity of the sketches). This is a very beneficial arrangement for both you and the Artist. You're only purchasing the time of Amber Hills Design for the creation of compositional sketches. If you're not satisfied with the sketches, you've only paid for the compositions and NOT the full price of a full project. If you accept the compositions, the price of these sketches will be applied to the price of the commission of the overall project.

Details including typography, composition, color, and the flow of information will be notated on these sketches. The final sketches will be referred to as “Original Specifications”. Upon your approval and signature of the sketches (Original Specifications) the developer will begin the production phase of the project.

Phase 3, Production;
After your approval of the previous phases, we will produce the programming and design elements to conform as close as possible to the Original Specifications and within the cost parameters specified. After the production is completed we will deliver a beta of the of the work performed. You can review the project, make notes/comments as to any corrections and deliver back to us. He will make the changes required and deliver the finals back to the you again. Upon your approval, the delivery of the final project will be delivered.
