Minimum Price: $50
This option is for larger jobs that may take a day or more to complete. For massive jobs we ask that you understand they take time. A customized logo with branding will take a few days to fully explore and then there is the time it takes for drafts and proofs. Art takes time. I have no problem using commercially listenable AI to help in the process, with saves money by saving time, but AI art still needs to be refined once created. I have multiple paid accounts to stock libraries and will utilize these elements to help cut down on price.

STOCK ASSETS & TYPOGRAPHY LICENSING
THESE MAY INCUR EXTRA FEES FOR YOUR LICENSE TO USE.
Stock images, video, audio, and styles that are applied to graphics and text require licensing. That costs money. Stock assets save money by reducing time. You are responsible for purchasing the licensing to your stock assets.
Typography (fonts) are not always free for commercial use. Unless requested, I use Google Fonts for their library of fonts because they are free for commercial use. However, I also have access to Adobe Fonts. Adobe Fonts allows you to use the fonts in embedded projects (PDFs, JPG, PNGs, and other flat files).
However, if you wish to have editable access to these fonts you must purchase your own license. This is a reoccurring licensing rule that most, if not all, stock libraries have. They essentially allow Ink Animal to sub-license the assets to you, but you cannot edit them and they must be embedded in such a way they cannot be edited. I am happy to supply you with information on how to purchase a license for yourself so you can edit the elements or take them to another designer in the future.
USEABLE GRAPHICS • Logos & Photos
PHOTOS, LOGOS, ILLUSTRATIONS, ETC.
For graphic or element to be considered Usable they must meet this criteria:
AT SIZE: If you want the image to print 3x5ft it must be 3x5ft in resolution, at 300dpi/ppi. If it is smaller then that it the printer will have an ugly baby.
DPI: Dots Per Inch | PPI: Points Per Inch – Varies by application, same thing.
PROPER FILE FORMAT: If you are expecting me to use a vector logo, send me a vector file. I can recreate vector logos, but it can be expensive if the graphics are complex. I cannot get vector results from a raster image. I can turn a vector into a raster image.
Vector Formats: .ai | .eps | .svg
Scaleable, made by math
Raster Formats: .jpg | .tiff | .png | .gif
Cannot enlarge, made by pixels, or dots of color next to one another
PDFs are not necessarily going to have vector images embedded in them. A logo that looks vector may in fact have been embedded to be uneditable as a vector, or was a rasterized version of a vectorized image.
CORRECT COLOR: I can turn color into black and white, or grayscale. I cannot turn black and white into color without painting it in like a coloring book.
