Good vs Bad Production Design

Zac

Mediocre Designer
Client states the wrap is already designed, and only needs help with the hood graphics lining up. Asked if I was "good at Photoshop?" Here are some before and afters.

Most of us here are skeptical when it comes to graphic designers who say they can provide 'print-ready files', and rightfully so.

These before and afters were provided to the client during my process. I also let them know any 'secrets' of how I fixed their designs, so they can provide better files in the future. This is the real value I provide for owners, managers and their production employees.

3 days later and $250 out the door with labeled install proofs, paneled CMYK PDF Print Files with all bleeds and overlaps, and updated source files. $125 for Print prep files, $125 for updated source files. I did not design any of this layout or artwork, but if I did, it would be an extra $125 for something similar. My same day rush fee? You got it, another $125.

Testimonial from this job:

"He is magical!!! He helped me with a project and went above and beyond. He communicates very well and kept me in the loop on each step. He was on time and within budget. I could not ask for anything better. He will be my first call when I get a project like this again." - Mary

Here is an example of my install proofs provided with every job. Not only useful to the installer, but also for re-prints. All of my print files are seperated by panel, labeled with project name, Side, and numbered to be easily found in RIP software, without wasting time re-ripping or searching.
