What Our Clients Are Saying

"I had the privilege of working with Jenn for the cover design of my memoir, 'House of Kahmann’s,' and the experience was positive in every way. I came to Jenn with a vision I had in my mind but couldn’t fully articulate. She listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and translated my idea into a cover that captured exactly what I had hoped for, and more."

Frequently Asked Graphic Design & Branding Questions

How long does a typical graphic design project take?

What does a typical project look like cost wise?

A graphic design project's timeline can vary by scope, size and client. Typically, the average timeline from start to finish takes about 3-4 weeks, but can vary.

Every project at Paper & Clouds is designed to be budget friendly with the expertise of a professional graphic & branding strategist. Pricing ranges from $500+ depending on the depth of the project.

What do you need from me to get started?

During our initial call we'll go over a number of things to help prepare for your project's success. It's recommended to have the following ready for your call to help expedite the process: - How this project will be used - How long this project will be used. Is it a forever sign, a monthly campaign, etc... - Branding and colors, or if you don't have this an idea of what you like - Inspirational pictures. Check out your competitors, your favorite stores, Pinterest or even Google to find visuals you like AND why you like them - When you need this by - Who is all making the final decision - Any specific wording, deadlines, fine print or other information that we need to be aware of

I can't afford a graphic designer yet, what should I do?

Paper & Clouds offers nonprofit pricing and a full range of packages, so that even a small start-up can great design. It takes a lot of hard work to start a business, Jenn with Paper & Clouds is here to help with that. Jenn will work with you to meet you where you are.

Do I need a graphic designer or can Canva or AI just make it for me?

Canva or AI "could" make your graphics and branding, but they don't offer the professional insights of an industry expert, with over 20+ years of experience. Nor does Canva or AI think about how you'll be using the project, who your audience is or ensure that it can grow and develop with you.

Can I just use Claude or chatGPT to create my logo? 

Top five reasons why you shouldn't use AI, like ChatGPT or Claude, to create your logo: #5 - AI Understanding is too Literal and Generic #4 - AI Logo Generators Don’t Produce Vectors, or a workable design that can be shrunk or expanded without lowering the quality #3 - No Editing Capabilities #2 - No Text Generation #1 - You Can’t Trademark AI Generated Logos
