1. What’s your design process?
Having a clear understanding of the steps involved in completing the project is imperative to you as a client. Knowing what your designer is doing will prevent confusion and give you a better understanding of how the process works.
2. Who owns the design once it’s finished and paid for?
Defining the ownership of the final design provides you with the greatest chance of maximizing its benefits. Do you own the final design or does the designer? If you do not own the final design, you may not be able to take advantage of its potential.
3. What’s the timeline?
The development of a timeline is important because you need to know when a project will be finished. It helps you decide if the designer will be able to meet the deadline for completing the designs. It helps you decide when your official launch date will be if you do not have a specific launch date in mind.
4. Who is the designer/person of contact?
In order to get everything you need to know about your project, you need to know who is designing it and whom you should contact.
Assume you hire a specific designer to design everything for you when you booked their service. Wouldn't it be upsetting if you discovered that your work had been outsourced?
Originally, you wanted a design from a specific designer, but it wasn't what you expected.
Also, If you want to make changes to your design or if there is an emergency, you should also know whom you are supposed to contact if you have any questions
5. What is included?
As part of their design package, most designers include collateral items.
Getting a logo is no longer enough. Are they able to provide letterheads, business cards, web design, social media icons, blog graphics, video intros, etc?
List the items you'll definitely need for your project. Your designer will be able to let you know if those are included in the package.
Other questions to ask your designer
How will communication work?
If you're a client, you want to be kept in the loop at all times. Also, you want to know who exactly you're talking to and how you're going to communicate. Do you use email? Phone calls? Zoom? Google Meet?
To ensure there are no misunderstandings during the final revision process, it is essential to communicate with the designer during the meetings. This will speed up the revision process.
What file formats are my documents in?
If you're paying for something, you want to know what exactly you're getting. The format of logo files can be PNG or JPEG, for example.
How are the final documents delivered?
It is necessary that you understand how and when you will receive your final files. In most cases, designers deliver your final files through cloud storage, and you are given an estimated time limit to download them.
