inspiration...

...is just the beginning of the design process. william smith studios can create a complete corporate identity from scratch or simply apply a little polish and brush-up to your existing brand.

Although you can't put a time limit on genius we have found that we can create a positive new image in a very short time with the aid of an initial consultation and a cup or two of earl grey.

Along with ‘ the length of a piece of string ‘ design time is a little difficult to qualify. However we have found over the years that clients first concerns are usually with the budget - and rightly so.

In response to this we have been able to ballpark a few basic price guides to make this a smidgen clearer.

artwork ( creative ) - £69ph

artwork ( general artworking / amendments ) - £49ph

The following time guides are based on wss managing the project fully which when given the opportunity to create the work in the first instance, this makes all the follow on projects that much more economic as the work grows along with the relationship between client and design team.

logo design - 4-6 hours

stationery ( letterhead, comp slips, business cards ) - 4 hours

flyer - 4 hours

leaflet - 6 hours

brochure ( 8pg ) - 16 hours

shop front ( fascia, window graphics / displays ) - 6 hours

vehicle livery ( basic ) - 4 hours

vehicle livery ( wrap ) - 8 hours

Please note these are just guides and each project is considered on its own merits, for more information please contact one of our account managers.

How It Works

1 : The initial consultation can take anywhere between one hour and many! This is entirely down to the expectations of the client and how clear their requirements are. The briefing is based around some serious design issues and also getting to know the client, their business and their objectives.

2 : A decision is made about which products / services are required and how we go about pursuing them. This may include individual production pieces and or services with approximate timescales, costs and turnaround.

3 : You then complete the compulsory paperwork in order to commence ( this is a purchase order outlining the brief ) and pay the deposit.

4 : The brief is sent on to you for checking before commencement. In most cases this will simply be an emailed PDF. The brief forms your initial agreement with wss and the conditions upon which your work is actually based.

5 : The brief should be completed and returned.
