Additions - Designs & Prices

The additions system is the backbone of our pricing system, enabling us to all but eliminate the traditional hourly rates and shifting estimates of old.

The process is extremely simple, once you've bought into any of our design packages, you can either keep it as is and pay the listed price, or you can enhance the package, and purchase various additions (extra graphics, art, pages etc.) here.
This method allows you to keep easy track on how much the project will cost, whilst giving you complete control over the final design.

We have decided to split this page into the following three sub sections:

1 - Graphic & Web Design
2 - Graphic Design
3 - Web Design

Section 1: Graphics & Web Design

Light Graphics Work

see examples

Either for inclusion in your web site, brochure, booklet or just for general use, our light graphics work is there to add that extra layer of polish to your project. Light graphics work can range from anything to the creation of a striking background for text and graphics, or it can just mean working on a photograph or existing piece of clip art, until it matches the style you're after.

Medium Graphics Work

see examples

If you're looking for a very particular effect for a page, or a quite lavish menu design for a web site, then this would fall into our medium level design. This could involve extreme distortion of a photograph, custom clip art, or the creation of a graphically heavy background which could offer the perfect backdrop for promotional photos etc..

Original Photography

If clip art does not suffice, and you have a very specific image in mind, we can take landscape shots of anything within reason. We have qualified photographers on the team, so we will be able to get just the shot you need. If you require any photographs of people, then we have made links with one of the finest Belgian photographers in the business, where we can assure you of a fantastic photo, however, he sets his own prices and does not fall under our pricing specifications.

Please also note that additional travel costs will be charged for any additional costs accumulated

32 shots of any one landscape
Developing and processing of pictures
Digital conversion of pictures (scanning etc.)

Price: €150

Additionally for any specific photos needed, which we don't have in our own extensive catalog, or would find virtually impossible to take ourselves (a wild animal for example), we have links to many professional and area specific photo clip art providers, where we should have no problem finding you the perfect picture for your design.

Five Hundred Words Of Copy

From the very start of the project, you have the choice of having all the text on your web site or brochure written by one of our professional copy writers. This job is filled by myself, so you can judge from this site if you would like your text written in the same style as presented here.

Typically we will request a biography and any relevant articles regarding the project. We will then base our text on this information, and write it according to the style you want. You will of course have plenty of opportunities to proof read any text written, and make unlimited changes to it.

If you would like additional pictures scanned and placed on your web site/brochure/booklet, then you may purchase more here.

Extra Examples

Each package we work with comes with a set number of examples, so that you can see what we've got before you commit. Typically these examples are produced in the form of detailed sketches, created either with pencil or basic graphic tools. If you would like us to provide you with more examples than we are affording you, then you can purchase more here.

Please note, that you will not be charged for the first extra example, if you decide to officially hire us for your project.

One extra example

Minor Changes

As with the additional examples, each package we work with comes with a set number of minor changes. If you require more changes to the final product, you can purchase them here. A minor change is basically anything which doesn't require a fundamental change to the design, or anything which will result in us having to completely recreate any piece of art.

Set of Four Pages

see examples

In order to provide our clients with as much flexibility as possible, we have decided to offer a set price for four pages. As standard these pages will feature a colour based style, any supplied text, and up to a dozen photos/clip art pictures. If you would like a graphic based template, simply purchase a light/medium or heavy graphic design, and we can create a far more interesting background for your content to sit on.

Up to twelve photos scanned and placed
Placement and styling of any supplied text
One piece of Happy Monsters stock clip art per page

Tray Slips, Disc Covers & Book Sleeves

For publishers or bands/authors looking at getting your cover & booklet ready for retail, we will finish the whole package off by providing a relevant sleeve/ back cover & disc cover, and make sure the whole product is print ready. This package basically consists of two light graphic packages, with the print proofing being done for free. If you require the disc cover/tray slip or book sleeve to include any original art, then please bare in mind that this will come at an additional cost.

Two Light Graphics
Four Minor Changes

Price: €200

Please also bear in mind that any band which requires:

One cover
An eight page booklet
Disc design
Tray slip design

Will be entitled to 10 percent off the entire project

Section 3: Web Design

Sub-Styles

If you would like certain pages of your web site to be laid out in a very different way to the rest of your site, then you can purchase sub-styles. Sub styles are ideal if you would like a pop up window, gallery page, or any other page which can't be shown properly, without a radically different layout and design. For example, our web site only has one sub-style, and that's for the example pop ups window.

Flash/GIF Roll overs

Please check our:

Character Animation

Please check our:

Check our Flash site for examples of character animation

Character animation is a fairly self explanatory title. If you have accessed our Flash site, you will see we have animated the monsters, frame by frame. This type of animation is extremely time consuming, but your animation will be completed by graduates from one of Europe's most prestigious animation schools: The Kask.
