some i do and others i don't.
all my work is by commission only - so its totally based on the client and what they want.
i sit down with them for about 3 meetings.
the first meeting is an overall concept and what type of install we're looking at. this is usually done on location.
the next meeting takes place at my business where we go over the samples i've put together. at this point a firm deal is reach or i stop working on the project. i require 25% deposit at this point.
the last meeting is final approval of the design before i send it off to be printed. at this point i am paid 50% which brings the payment received up to 75% of the final cost of the project.
then i do my final touches to the panel when it arrives and when its done i go and do the install. at this point i am paid the remaining 25% due on the invoice.
the average cost to the client is about $400-$500 a panel and they typically order 3 or 4 panels. i have done just 1 panel in smaller studios.
