Your customers will always ask you, why is that so expensive? That’s the moment when you need to defend and stand up for your design, your job and it’s quality.Our profession, many times, tends to be underestimated and some even say “it’s something anybody can do” and this is a grand mistake! When we talk about the price remember this:
Work quality: this is the single most important item of your work. Without high quality, you’re not going far.
Deadlines: this is what all customers love, as long as you have the design done by the time they wanted it. To help out with this one, I always try to have my designs ready 1-2 days before my deadline, you never know what can happen.
Image costs: when the customers cannot provide you with pictures, this is an additional price.
Development of the design: this includes the time it took you to make the design itself, the research, ect.
The design: every designer is different, I always give a printed copy to my customer before the deadline. I’m paid for doing a job, a design that will not longer be mine, but theirs.
If you have some time designing, you should turn all fonts into curves already. But if you’re one of the newbies around (specially when we talk about web designing) you could have noticed that fonts change when you try to print them.
This is because it’s not the same font as the one you’ve used in your design. The ideal thing would tell everybody to get your same font so we all could have it, but it’s not always like this. This is why when we open it, it converts itself into a default font from the system.
There’s a solution for everything, with Adobe Illustrator you’ll be able to convert fonts into curves.
And what does this mean?
It’s all about transforming fonts into paths. This way anywhere where your design is opened, it’ll always have the same fonts. Attention, once the fonts are curved, you won’t be able to edit the text anymore.
We have three ways of doing this:
Any of these three forms do the same function as long as you have the text selected.
