A Revision Stage is one opportunity to review a design and provide a group of requested changes to the version you received.
Once I receive your feedback, I’ll make the requested changes and provide an updated version for you to review.
The goal of a revision stage is to refine the existing design, rather than start the design over with a substantially different concept.
A revision stage can include multiple smaller changes, such as: Adjusting colors, fonts, spacing, or alignment
Updating or correcting text Swapping an image
Moving or resizing existing elements Making minor layout adjustments Making several small refinements throughout the design
As a general guideline, revisions typically affect approximately 20% or less of the overall artwork while maintaining the original design direction. If requested changes substantially alter the concept, layout, or majority of the artwork, they may be considered a redesign or additional design work. If that happens, I’ll let you know before proceeding.
No! A revision stage can include multiple changes.
For example, if you review a design and send me a list of 10 small changes together, those changes can all be handled as one revision stage.
The important part is that the feedback is gathered and submitted together.
Gathering feedback into one message helps keep the project organized and moving efficiently.
If several people are involved in reviewing a design, I recommend sharing the design with everyone who needs to provide input, collecting their feedback, and then sending me one consolidated list of changes.
This also helps prevent conflicting feedback and reduces the amount of time spent repeatedly reopening a design for small changes.
It happens! 😊
If additional feedback comes in after a revision stage has already been submitted or completed, those changes may need to be included in another revision stage or may require additional design time, depending on the project.
That’s why I encourage you to take a little time to gather everyone’s feedback before sending it over.
Sometimes a project takes a different direction during the review process. That’s okay!
If the requested changes significantly alter the original concept, layout, or a substantial portion of the artwork, we’re likely moving beyond a revision and into a redesign.
I’ll let you know if I think a request falls into this category before doing the additional work. We can then decide together how you’d like to proceed.
Your project estimate will specify how many revision stages are included.
If you need additional stages beyond what was included in the estimate, those can be added as additional design time or billed according to the terms of your project.
Absolutely!
If you’re unsure about something in a design or want to clarify how something works, just ask. Questions and clarification aren’t the same thing as requesting a design change.
