A cover design cost will depend on the difficultly of the request and how long I think it will take to complete. As a rule, cover design starts at £250.

If the back cover is simply a flat color or continuation of the front there will not be an additional charge. Provide me with any text that will be on the back and I will add it as necessary. Also indicate where the ISBN will go and I will make sure there is space for it.

The same goes for the spine. Generally I will make the front and back covers seperately, per the dimensions you provide, and once we have an understanding of the full spread I will create a full spread image, including the spine, for upload.

Logo design starts at a baseline of £150. As with everything else, a lot of time and trial/error goes into good logo design. If you want any additional artwork in tandem with your logo you will be charged accordingly for any other artwork.

Upon completion and payment I will provide you with all of the necessary files: JPG, PDF, and an AI/EPS.

If you are unfamiliar, AI and EPS are Illustrator files and contain the raw data for the logo. This way if ever you need to make minor changes (like the color of the logo or if you are changing name) you can do so with ease either on your own or with me or another designer without having to redraw the logo from scratch.

A custom illustration operates much like a cover, but since there is most likely not going to be any typography the baseline starts at £175. Of course, the cost could change as the illustration changes. I will provide updates on the illustrations and if ideas need to be scrapped or wholly altered, additional cost for time will be applicated.

Send me an email with the nature of your request and we can work something out.

Upon hiring me there will be a 50% of the initial session deposit required before I begin working on your project.

For example:

A £250 cover initial Session = £125.00 deposit

A £175 illustration initial Session = £87.50 deposit

A £150 logo design initial Session = £75.00 deposit

The deposits are nonrefundable. At the end of our business together the deposit will be deducted from the total charge for the final product.

I am happy to provide quick gesture drawings of what the intended project is before you hire me to ensure we are on the same page.

In the event that, perhaps our visions are not lining up or you have to postpone publishing whatever it is that you're hiring me for, I will require compensation of 60% of the remaining total Sessions time, minus your deposit.

Note: If you decide you no longer require my services after only the initial Session and paying the deposit, just inform me of thus and I will cease working on the project and there will not be an additional invoice.

I treat each Session as a typical work day and dedicate all my time towards the project.

For example:

You have hired me to design a cover for you and paid the 50% deposit of £125.00.

We have gone back and forth for a few weeks and five additional Sessions of significant changes at 5% (£12.50), bringing the total for your project to £312.50 (-£125.00 for the deposit for a balance of £187.50).

Your current total balance after the deposit is £187.50 and you need to cancel my services.

After informing me of this, you will receive an invoice for 60% of the remaining balance. In this instance, an invoice for £112.50.

After, I will wish you luck and all the best with your project.
