F.A.Q.

I WANT TO GET AN ARTWORK FROM YOU. CAN YOU HELP?

Sure I can. However it is important to receive a clear description of your needs so when you’re going to email me please provide as many information as possible. Share your ideas with me, in case you have something particular in mind. I usually reply quite fast but if it takes me a few days then please be patient.

WHAT'S YOUR RATES?

That’s one of the questions I get daily. 🙂 The answer is that I do not work with fixed prices because each design needs a different approach and time investment until it’s done. For sure my rates are affordable and reasonable so in the end you will be more than happy with the result.

WHERE I CAN FIND ARTWORKS FOR SALE?

On this website there is a special section called “My Shop”. There you can see what’s available now. In case you’re interested to purchase something then email me and ask for the price. Don’t forget to mention your band’s name and provide a link of your music as well.

WHY TO BUY PREMADE AND NOT ASK YOU TO CREATE FOR ME A NEW ARTWORK?

Premade artworks are ready for use and they usually cost less than starting a new design. However, if you have a particular concept in mind we can always discuss about it, share ideas and design something suitable for you. The choice is always yours as I’m here to help you creating beautiful graphics.

DO YOU HAVE COPYRIGHT TERMS?

Yes, I have. My work and this website are protected so do NOT use or try to steal anything for commercial/personal use without permission. If you see any of my images somewhere without permission or credits then email me.

WHAT YOU NEED FROM ME TO START WORKING?

First of all, your ideas and material. I will share my terms and if you agree with them then next step is creating a nice schedule together which is going to help both sides to get things done in a reasonable period of time, easy and smoothly.

CAN YOU WORK FOR ME FOR FREE AND DO EXCHANGE OF SERVICES?

No, I can’t! This is a real job so if you need a professional look and work here, then you should be ready to pay for it. Financial problems or additional investments are you responsibility and it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to get a better offer by me. The only people I might give free of charge graphics are my close friends or relatives and that’s it.

DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY YOUR ARTWORK AFTER IT'S DONE, CHANGE COLORS ETC. BEFORE THE PRINTING?

Please DON’T. This is actually a very serious matter because any modification can destroy the quality of my work and of course your merchandise too so it’s always better contact with your designer instead of taking decisions alone. Of course your label & management is free to contact me too.
