About Pickle Jar Studios Graphic Design company in Redmond, United States
The cost is typically between $1200 – $2000. This depends on what elements you would like included in your brand. Do you want patterns? Lots of logo sizes types or variations? Let me know and I can put together a complete estimate for you.
For logo and branding design the process generally takes 6-8 weeks. If more elements are needed or if you want to complete other brand updates – such as a new or re-branded website – it can take longer.
A logo is more than just a ’pretty image with your company name’. In fact I wrote a whole blog post here about my design process and thinking! The short answer is I dive deep to the heart of what your brand is about what YOU are about and create a brand logo or piece of content that reflects that.
A mood board is an important step in the process because it gets me on the same page as my client. It shows that we are thinking (in general terms) on the same wavelength. The Mood Board shows example images – not actual work that Ive created. These images are shown for the purposes of expressing ideas and visual elements that I think you might like – or rather – your BRAND might align with. The Mood Board is really important because its like getting all our meal prep done before we start cooking on your brand design! It really makes the process go much smoother.
When you approve your final logo I will create files in various formats and in CMYK and RGB color spaces. I typically deliver jpeg tiff png and eps files. I can also deliver Illustrator or .ai files (a.k.a. native). Just let me know if you have questions about file types or need another type!
What I DONT deliver: Word Paint or Publisher files. If you use Canva.com I can share a Canva file with you as well. In fact if you need templates designed this is my favorite tool to use.
The best way to use the Brand Guidelines Document that I deliver after our logo project is completed is to refer to it as a guideline when creating new work on your own or with an employee at your company.
The fonts colors and patterns are outlined in the doc and explained how to use those in your advertising and daily ’brand life’. I also include examples and guidelines for writing in your brand voice. This is not however the whole story – these documents are just a starting place.
If you want to dive more into positioning and brand voice writing let me know! I sell this as a separate service from logo and branding work though it IS something we touch on during the process.
Ideally you or someone in your company that is given that designated responsibility. Read through it and make sure they understand how to apply your brand to print and media.
Ahhh the MEAT of the issue. What makes me different? My cross-blend of marketing design and writing skills. Add on photography and content strategy and Im able to look at your brand from a multi-faceted view and present you with more tools you can use than any of these other sites.
Like I said before I dont just give you ’something pretty’ with your name on it and call it done. Its an in-depth process that lasts many weeks and its vital that you dive deep with me to create a brand that carries meaning for you and your company.
Why is this VITAL?
Content is basically anything you are giving away usually for free that others are interested in. Social posts blogs podcasts checklists cheat sheets and graphics. Even gifs music and printed materials (workbooks coloring sheets!) are content. Listicles jokes desktop wallpapers.
Content is ideas inspiration and education.
Everything above in the ’What is Content’ answer but slanted towards food. This could be a recipe an infographic showing the history of Miso paste a funny food meme or graphic or a photo showing your brand surrounded by ingredients you use.
Yes I create content for lifestyle brands – blogs lists articles and graphics.
I offer Content Strategy Planning for $300/3-month plan (ideally this is done at the start of a Quarter!)
I write blogs for $100/blog post minimum 2 blogs per month.
I also do email marketing. See my current Rate Sheet!
Product photography lifestyle photography and food photography. Got a recipe you need shot or perhaps a fun craft project? I can do it! I do work with models to showcase your product. Need a wedding/portrait/sports/pet/real estate photographer? Nope not me. (But I know some I can recommend!)
Between $500-$800 per shoot depending on how many locations frequency and if you need models as well! Contact me for an estimate.
This depends on the type of shoot we do. For simple product photography usually I give you between 3-5 photos for each product. For a styled shoot a custom recipe shoot or other food content this number increases to 25-70 photos per shoot depending on the complexity and number of products included.
Yes. If I give you the file you can use this photo forever indefinitely.
The only ’rights’ I retain is the right to post photographic work I do for you on my portfolio site and call you out on social media. Social media posts will only include work that is completed delivered and has been approved for sharing and/or for a product that has been released by you in the past. I wont post anything that is not yet public knowledge.
