Deciding
upon a project's time & budget allocation
Having read Chameleon’s pricing solution, the next task
then is to decide upon what the project's time & budget allocations
should be for your individual project(s)
So far as that decision goes, we leave the ball entirely in
your court and we are happy to negotiate a fair deal that would
best suit your requirements. We believe that the budget a client
puts forward for any given design project reflects how important
the work produced for that project is to their company or organisation
If you feel (as we do) that a company's graphic design artwork
is crucial to the image and reputation of any company and that
sufficient investment into creating a quality design piece should
take effect, then we would suggest allocating a decent sized budget
– relative to its importance
However, if you feel that in the grand scale of things your
project is not that important as its usage may not be high up
on your list of priorities, then you could perhaps opt to allocate
a smaller budget for the assignment
For instance, a supermarket chain may come to Chameleon requiring
the design of 2 logos. The first being for the company itself
and the second for a small range of chocolate biscuits. It would
probably be reasonable to assume that the budget allocated for
the creation of an entire corporate logo & identity to be
reproduced on all its signage, shop floor posters, leaflets, goods
vehicles, adverts, website and stationery would have a higher
priority than the design of a logo for one single range of biscuits
Of course a logo for the biscuits is important in order for
them to sell, but it would not certainly not require the budget
equal to that of a massive corporate identity overhaul and re
branding
Hopefully the above will help to illustrate Chameleon Graphic's
policy on pricing its projects and with all of the above in mind,
the choice of what to do next is then placed in the hands of our
clients. You decide the allocated time schedule, budget and amount
of work required to complete any given project which you commission
to Chameleon
Already got in-house graphic
designers ?
You may already have in-house designers currently working for
you - if this is the case then please do still keep the Chameleon
website bookmarked or on file for any hectic periods where graphic
design work may need to be outsourced
If you have a list of contracted design companies that you specifically
use for artwork, then feel feel free to add Chameleon Graphics
Ltd to that list – or email us giving details on your company’s
policy and procedures for putting design work out to tender. We
will then discuss this all with you and adjust our quotation &
invoicing process to adapt to your company's internal payment
database / management systems
Alternatively, at Chameleon we're quite happy to work alongside
other design companies or with your own in-house designers on
any projects needing to draw in several minds to all chip-in,
providing various ideas and solutions
