I could provide you business cards, letterhead stationery templates/layouts, envelope stationery templates/layouts, brochures, leaflets, flyers, posters, manuals, signage, postcards, banner advertising, excel forms with automated computations, word or excel form templates

You take ownership the moment you initial the mock-up for "approved with no changes".

I don't. I hire a printer for my layouts and charge it at cost.

You can send jpeg formats for small printing and tif for large format printing on CD or a USB. But I usually include psd files for the clients for a better quality print and editing later on.

If you can provide me with the original source materials for the art work (Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Photoshop (.psd), .tif, etc.), there is a good chance that I can make updates. Simply scanning and existing piece of artwork (like a brochure), will not result in a quality that is high enough for re-publication.

I'm not a sketch artist. But I do digital customized illustration based on an original photos or artwork. See samples in this page.

That's actually a very good question...and the answer is that I can't tell with 100% certainty. Even if I do my job correctly, the purity of the printers ink, and the age, condition, and type of equipment used by the print shop, and the quality of the paper will all effect the final print color.

Sure, depending upon your intended use of the art work, and also the requirements of your print shop, I can create what ever file format is needed. I will either e-mail your file(s), or create a CD, depending upon the size of the finished artwork (full color, 300dpi artwork can often exceed 2mb in file size).

I always expect there to be a few changes to the overall design, and I will work with you to make sure that the final design is what you want. However, once the look of the site has been agreed upon and we are at a later stage in the design, any major reworking of the existing design will result in additional charges, if substantial extra work is required. I will of course inform you of this at the time, before I do the work, and will only go ahead when you say-so.

Colors on a printing press are created using a combination of four ink colors - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). These four inks are called process colors because they are the standard inks used in the four-color printing process. Your artwork is best in CMYK format (as opposed to RGB) when submitting it for printing.

Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) are the "additive colors". When you combine red, green and blue light, you get white light. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (CMY) inks are "subtractive colors". If you print cyan, magenta and yellow inks on paper, they should absorb all the light shown on them. Your eye receives no reflected light from the paper, and perceives black... in theory. In practice, printing inks contain impurities that prevent them from absorbing light perfectly. They do a pretty good job with light colors, but when you add them all together, they produce a murky brown rather than black. In order to get decent dark colors, black ink is also added (that's the K in CMYK).

An image that is in RGB mode is optimized for display on a computer monitor. In order to reproduce that very same image using ink on paper, it must be converted to the "CMYK" color mode.
