Professional Graphic Designers

• 1 custom design and up to 3 sets of revisions* (max 4 electronic proofs)(If you'd like more than 1 custom design, we can give you a more accurate price quote)

• Expertise of design, layout, correct print design requirements (text is provided by the customer)

• First proof is emailed within 3 business days (for single-sheet product) so you can look over, make changes, and approve before we print

• We create the files to send to print (not for web and not to give to the customer)

These are design service estimates and may be more or less depending on the complexity of the project, the amount of content provided, and the timeline.

• text changes
• font changes
• color changes of text and digitally created vectors (not photos)
• resizing the file for print
• sending an electronic PDF proof to the customer
• layout changes (move existing text or picture to left, right, top, bottom)
• alignment changes (ex: align objects to left, right, or center)
• adding a bleed for files with simple backgrounds or files with layers (revise customer-submitted artwork)

*One set of minor revisions means a set of revisions communicated to us through email, phone, or in person, resulting in one revised electronic proof.  If we've sent over a revised proof already, then the next minor revisions will be the second set.  Three sets of revisions allows the customer to have maximum 4 electronic proofs before the design cost increases.

• We purchase high-resolution pictures online (300dpi) at www.fotolia.com or www.istock.com ($2.50 per credit) for the photo you would like and we can send you the photograph as well.  If you’d like, you can also purchase it yourself and then send it to us to use in your artwork or graphic design file.
• We discourage taking pictures from the web if you are unaware of the copyright and because web pictures are often low resolution (72 dpi) and will print out fuzzy
• Bigger prints require higher resolution pictures (300 dpi)

We do not provide the files for customers to edit or print or to put on the web. We create the artwork for our customers at a discounted price only for the purpose of printing. Any file created or revised by Select Graphic & Printing remains the intellectual property of Select Graphic & Printing and will not be released to customers. If a customer would like to take a file that we have created or revised, it will be a flat $150 fee per file. Taking the artwork that we have designed without paying for the rights may result in serious legal action.

If you’d like to sit down with our graphic designer for them to make changes right away for you, we require an appointment.  The session will be timed at the rate of $60/hr.  This price will be IN ADDITION to the price quote for the design.  Sit down appointment will go no longer than 1.5 hours.  If the customer requires more time, then he/she can set another appointment another day or correspond with the graphic designer via email.

Can you write text copy for my project?
Yes, we can offer copy writing services.

Do you design logos?
Yes, you can see our logo design page for more details.

Do you have an image library (stock photos) that I can use for my project?
Yes, you can visit www.ingimage.com. If you cannot find the photos you need there, you can purchase photos from fotolia.com, shutterstock.com, istock.com or an online photo library and send us a high resolution image to use. We require high resolution images of 300 dpi or more for a clear, high quality print, so we discourage taking low quality images from the web.

How many revisions are allowed per project?
For our standard custom design packages, we allow 3 sets of revisions, unless otherwise noted.

What is the turnaround time to complete a design?
We can send you the first proof within 3 business days for first-proof for single-sheet items (additional fee for rushed artwork) (longer turnaround time multiple-page products like bookets, catalogs, calendars)

What if I need multiple versions of the same business card?
If you need different versions of the same business card design like a change in name, title, email, and phone number, there will be an additional $10 charge per version.

Will I receive a proof once my design is complete?
Yes. Once your design is completed, we will email you an electronic pdf proof for you to review and approve or request additional changes. If you have changes, we will email you another proof to review for approval. Once we get your approval, we will send your file to print based on the printing specifications and quantities you have selected.

How do I order prints?
Once you have approved your design proof, you will be asked to confirm your printing specifications and pay for your print order. You can get free samples of card and paper stocks we offer for offset and large format printing. Once paid, your job will automatically go into production.
