How do you…

I already know what you’re going to ask and it’s pronounced share-ree. Not shu-ree and definitely not cherry. Cherie, like sherry. I also answer to Cherie Berry, Cher Bear, Cher. I won’t tell you what my husband calls me. That’s really not appropriate at this time. Just kidding. Maybe. Kinda…

Can I hire you to create a mascot, caricature, or other art?

No, unfortunately not. I do graphic design work, but I cannot draw. You don’t even want to see what my stick figures look like. Heck, I can barely draw a round circle. While I can manipulate text and other images, creating a drawing from scratch, yeah, not going to happen.

How long will my project take?

Depends on what you have hired me to do and how complex it is. You will be quoted a time frame before initial payment is made and if changes at any point, you will immediately be notified. It goes without saying that if you are delayed in answering my emails, or just vanish for any length of time, your project will be delayed.

Tell me about payments.

I accept Paypal payments for all work. No account is required and you can choose to pay by credit card if desired. A 50% deposit is required for all work – the remainder is due once work is completed and before the project is sent to you. Any project under $125 is due in full before work will begin.

What if I’m not happy with the work you’ve done?

Well, that would be a real tragedy! It is my goal that every client walk away thrilled with the final project. If you’re not happy with how it’s going, please let me know so I can be sure to change how things are progressing so you ARE satisfied. I’ve yet to run into this issue so I’m confident that this won’t be an issue.

I need super fast. Like tomorrow!

Erm, that’s nice. And you waited until the last minute… why? Drop me a line. I doubt it, but I might just be sitting around twiddling my thumbs with nothing to do. And yes, there will be a rush fee added.

What is your rush fee?

Total quote + 50%. That’s for a few day rush. If you need something right this very second, that will be custom quoted. May I suggest that you plan ahead next time? You’ll save yourself some money!

What kind of computer do you use?

I’m a Mac chick. 100% of the time. I currently have (and adore) a black MacBook. I doubt this will be going anywhere anytime soon. 4gb of ram and a 320gb drive make me very happy. I love my laptop. Love it! Along with my Mac I use Adobe software. Photoshop is my fave software.
