Art Approval Sheet
|
This sheet is designed to be
attached to artwork that needs client approval. This
sheet, when signed, obligates the client to accept
the artwork as is or the client can denote changes
needed. Use this form with all artwork so you have
a binding agreement that the artwork is correct and
final or that the client desires changes
|
Bid Spec. Sheet
|
If you are doing business with
an outside vendor, such as a print shop, you will
need to provide the vendor with a Bid Spec Sheet that
shows in detail what your project consists of and
how you request the job to be printed or produced.
The vendor will then provide you with an estimate
of cost and time frame to complete your project.
|
Creative
Strategy
|
This is one of the most useful
tools in creating properly designed artwork. Whether
the client provides this information or you gather
this on your own, a Creative Strategy will help solve
many design issues and give a greater success to your
project. You can also use a Creative Strategy to explain
to your clients the benefits of why you used a specific
color, shape or type treatment. Not only will this
help sell your art, it will make the client feel more
a part of what they have purchased. Remember that
most clients know nothing of art and don't understand
the aspects of design.

Mileage & Expense Report
|
Use this report to keep track
of your expenses that were used for company use such
as mileage, meals and entertainment. If you have employees,
they must also keep track of what they spend and why
they spent it. There are 3 of the same forms available
for download. The Excel Document will automatically
calculate and total your expenses for you.

Job Jacket
|
It's very important to keep
all your projects, client approvals, changes and information
inside a Job Jacket. This Job Jacket includes an area
for job numbering, client information, pricing and
a drawing area. Use this Job Jacket for archiving
artwork and keeping your project information organized.

receive from a client, you will need to use this form

one of a two part contract agreement between you and
the client. This sheet will represent your company and

the contract, download the TERMS AND CONDITIONS file").

Terms and Conditions

This is the most important part
to any project you work on. This is the overall agreement
on how you do business, including billing, proofing,
revisions, alterations, copyright, and much more. The
Terms and Conditions should always be attached to either
the Print Questionnaire or the Web Site Questionnaire.
This is a binding agreement between you and the client
about the project you're working on.
