Frequently asked questions

Before you send the brief.

Is this a visual identity project?

Brand strategy defines the decisions that a visual identity should express. Identity design can follow as a separate or combined scope.

Can this be combined with website work?

Yes. When both are needed, the proposal sequences shared decisions and states which deliverables belong to each part of the project.

How many revisions are included?

The written proposal names the review stages and included revision rounds. Additional directions or production work are quoted before scope expands.

What do you need before starting?

A concise brief, the available brand information, the intended audience, one approval owner and any fixed platform, timing or compliance constraints.
