COMMISSIONING AN ILLUSTRATION or ANIMATION & DESIGN SERVICES

Custom images & ongoing design work.

THE IMAGE YOU WANT: The fastest and cheapest way to use a picture is to licence an existing image, animation or photograph but sometimes you might want to illustrate a novel process or topic and a new graphic is needed. There are many options open to you, ranging from a simple modification of an existing image or animation to commissioning something entirely new.

PROCESS: It is easy to commission work. We discuss your requirements and then I provide you with a quote or range of prices. If you decide to go ahead we stay in regular contact (e-mails and or phone) to ensure the work evolves as you want.

SPECIFIC IMAGE CREATION: This applies when a client requests an image of a particular thing (e.g. an organism, novel process, or object). The cost depends on several factors including the creative effort, deadline, type of image, and final use (image reproduction size, placement, print run, usage etc.). You will get a quote for the total price.

ONGOING DESIGN WORK: This is different from costing for a specific image and is intended for wider ranging and less clearly defined design work. It is suitable for more open ended jobs. Ongoing design is charged at a hourly rate of AUD 130 (which excludes GST and additional expenses). Examples include:

• ongoing design for corporate use
• museum exhibits
• large open ended projects

WHAT YOU GET: a new or modified image, animation, or design and a permission to use it in a specified way. Your invoice will specify those uses.

COPYRIGHT: All rights (including copyright) remain with Russell Kightley. This is not a problem, since the licence will provide you with the uses you want.

GENERAL PROVISIONS: An upfront fee is required before work begins. Permission to use the image or design only applies when the full fees have been paid. If existing RKM 3D models, images or animations are incorporated then these are considered as separate licences and will be charged in addition to the hourly rate.

Please e-mail me and I'll be happy to discuss your requirements.
