Q: What makes you
unique?
A: I'm an illustrator who embraces
technology while creating artisan quality illustrations. I use the latest
PC technology to get my clients' projects ready for digital printing or an
upload to a POD (publishing on demand) website.
Q: What is your work
ethic?
A: I believe in delivering projects as described and... on time.
I create only original, custom work and respect copyright laws. Authors'
manuscripts are treated with confidentiality.
Q: I’ve never worked with an illustrator before. What’s it like to work with you?
A: My clients say
that my final product was just what they had envisioned; it was like I had
read their mind! No crystal balls or trickery—I just ask the
right questions up front and keep you involved in the decision process.
I won’t baffle you with computer talk or technical jargon—I like to
keep things simple. My clients like that I provide written proposals
and clear invoicing for their business records. I generally work Monday through
Friday, 9am to 5:30pm.
Q: How much do you charge?
A: I always start with a free half hour telephone consultation. Your project is unique and I
can tailor a quote for services to
meet your needs.
Q: How long does it take
from start to the finished project?
A: I work on a strict schedule so your
project will get my fullest attention and deadlines are respected. I will
give you a time frame in the proposal. You'll know how long your
project will take before we get started.
Q. What software do you use?
A: I’m experienced in many
graphics, paint, layout and writing programs. I can deliver your project
in commonly used PC file formats: jpg, gif, tif, pdf, png, bmp, eps files
and more. I have software to write HTML, CSS and FLASH for websites and I am experienced
in advanced applications of MS Word and MS Excel.
Q: What if I want to use a
printer I found on the Internet?
A: I specialize in creating files
that can be uploaded to Internet printing companies. I’ve used several Internet
printing companies with phenomenal results. These companies tend to
specialize in printing one thing and do it well whether they are books,
stickers, business cards, postcards or brochures. The best companies give
you a price up front and provide design specs on their website. I
always provide full assistance to my clients to get their files uploaded
on POD and printer's websites... always free of charge.
Q: I want to sell through a
POD website. Will you help me with designing my book?
A: I am experienced in getting
projects
uploaded on Internet printing websites. Like Internet printers, the best POD companies have clear
pricing and provide design specs on their website.
Q: Can you send graphics
files as email attachments?
A: Yes. I use Optimum Online
which provides “blazingly fast Internet access” and in my opinion, very
reliable service. I send
email attachments as PDF files. You will need Adobe Reader to read these
documents. It's FREE at
Adobe.com. Most design projects can be viewed online.
