Posted onSo you have an idea and you want it realised, or you have no idea but you know you want something, we can help. Not only can we design to your requirements but every design will be optimised for your chosen output. Look, if you can’t supply print ready artwork but can supply all the text, fonts, and hi-res images/vectors where possible then if it’s a 5/10 minute typesetting job for us then it’s on us. However, if it’s multiple sheets of hand written paper with drawings and screenshots of photos then yeah, it’s going to cost you our time.
