Digital Design
Commissions
Thanks for your interest in a hand-made piece! Throughout this process, I appreciate your patience and your feedback as I try my best to create something meaningful for you.
Guidelines (please review)
1.
Overview: Please contact me with your request and its intended purpose (e.g., a tattoo design that says X, a circular logo with X and a rose, a poster to advertise X fundraiser, etc.). The more detailed information you can provide, the better!
Since there is so much variability in these designs, I will provide a quote to you after I have all the details. My estimated pricing range is about $15 (for simple, lettered quotes) to $50 (for complex designs involving lettering, illustration, and a more thorough design process). Let me know if you have questions about pricing, since my goal is to make this art as accessible as possible.
2.
Timeline: My typical turn around time is 7-10 days from when I receive your request and materials. I can do my best to be flexible — just let me know if you're facing a deadline.
3.
Materials: If relevant, I may use reference pictures to create a digital design. If you're looking for a digital illustration of a particular flower/animal, it's always helpful to see what you're envisioning! You're also invited to send a sketch (it doesn't need to be perfect).
4.
Size and color scheme: Let me how you’re planning on using the design (e.g., a high-definition square logo, 8x10 printed advertisement, phone wallpaper, etc.) so I can get the dimensions right. Please also pass along a desired color scheme (for the background, fonts, etc.) if you have one in mind. If not, I’m happy to pick one for you!
5.
Logistics: I’ll send you a draft of the piece through messenger/email when I have it. Feel free to send me your feedback at this time, which I’ll do my best to incorporate! I am typically able to respond to minor edits (swapping out colors, changing small details, etc.) without a problem. With larger or more complex modifications, this process becomes time consuming and so I ask that you consider adding a "tip" onto the commission fee.
I accept the payment through Facebook messenger and Venmo (@Holly-Durr). This can also be arranged through Etsy, so let me know if you'd prefer this (though there are additional charges). Once that’s all taken care of, I’ll share the finished files through Dropbox.
6.
Social Media: If you end up sharing the piece, I’ll ask that you tag my art account for credit (@penandprosody on Instagram and “Pen & Prosody” on Facebook). I also love seeing the finished pieces in the real world (e.g., therapy materials printed and being used). If you prefer that I do not share the design on social media, let me know and I can keep it on the down low.
7.
Let me know if you have any questions at all! Contact me through Facebook Messenger ("Pen and Prosody") or email (penandprosody@gmail.com). Thanks for your support, and I look forward to creating something for you.
