Where graphic designers lose the money
Design gets undervalued the moment the deliverables are vague. “A logo” turns into a logo, three alternates, social variants, and source files thrown in — and because usage rights were never mentioned, the client assumes they own everything forever. The proposal is where that line gets drawn, or does not.
What your proposal needs — specifically
- ✓ List exact deliverables and file formats — number of concepts, revision rounds, final formats — so “a logo” has a definition.
- ✓ State usage rights and ownership explicitly; it is the clause designers most often skip and most often regret.
- ✓ Charge a deposit up front for creative work, then bill the balance on final files with a Tendrly payment plan.
- ✓ Send it branded in your own identity — for a designer, a plain document undercuts the pitch before it is read.
