Design is an evolving process. At Empire, our goal is to create an attractive, functional piece of artwork to show your business in the best possible light. Collaboration and understanding between the designer and the client is critical to conveying amessage that is appropriate for your company and goals. Please see the following list of FAQs to answer questions you may have about the design process.
How long does the design process take?
Each client and project is unique. Design is a subjective, evolving process, and project times may vary depending on how the project progresses. We will communicate with you regularly during the design process.
How much will my project cost?
Before starting your project, we will talk to you to determine the requirements of your project and provide you with a detailed estimate of the projected time and expenses. Our design services are billed hourly (click here for our rates & terms).

Sounds great. How do I get started?
Once we have provided an estimate, we will take a deposit on the design work. Typically, you will provide us with the content (text and images) for the layout. If required, we can provide stock photography for an additional charge. We also provide photography services and can photograph your products, services, or business.
Who owns the copyright to the artwork once it is completed?
As with any piece of artwork created by an artist, Empire Advertising & Design retains the copyright to designs created. Upon completion you will receive high resolution, print-ready files to keep and use as needed. We will keep the original working files on hand for you for any changes or additional materials you may need in the future. If required, the working files may be purchased at a negotiated price.
