Questions & Answers

NB – freelance commissions are currently closed.

  • I operate as an independent Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator – a bolt-on external design department for business owners, marketing departments & creative studios – at your service! 😁

    I blend award-winning creativity with almost 3 decades of experience to produce unique, eye-catching and highly effective promotions for online & print.

    You can view a full list of my services here.

  • I offer two pricing models to cater to your unique needs:

    1. Hourly-Rate – This approach suits ad-hoc requests and ongoing design needs. An on-demand design service, allowing for unlimited revisions and faster turnaround times. Invoiced fortnightly for work completed to date.

    2. Project-Based – Suited for individual projects with a tight brief. You'll receive a written estimate with fixed inclusions, rounds of revisions and final deliverables. Project-based commissions require a 50% upfront deposit with the balance due upon completion.

  • Booking my services is straightforward – simply fill out the contact form or send me an email outlining your project requirements. I'll respond promptly to discuss your needs in detail.

  • I operate from a home-based design studio in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, just 20 minutes from Adelaide’s CBD – the best of both worlds with easy access to the city, and Koalas and wildlife regularly visiting to keep me inspired!

  • Would love to. My clients often enjoy meeting nearby at one of the many cafés in the beautiful village of Stirling to discuss initial project details over a coffee and a baked treat. Otherwise email, phone or video calls are always available.

  • I design using the creative industry gold standard Adobe Creative Suite, operating at an expert level in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. When illustrating digitally, I use a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24” touch-screen display. Work is completed on the Mac operating system, with files exported as specified for print or online use.

  • Indeed! I am an independent contractor, set up as an Australian sole-trader business, registered for GST. ABN 17318560401

  • The term 'Freelance', originating from the early 19th century, was used to describe a medieval mercenary knight who pledged no allegiance to any particular lord or master. The 'free' symbolised their independence, and the 'lance' was their weapon of choice.

    Today, as a Freelance Graphic Designer & Illustrator, the spirit of independence prevails. My weapon of choice is the digital pen, which indeed is mightier than the sword!

  • The term ‘white knight’ draws from the chivalric figure who arrives to rescue the day in the face of danger.

    My personal mission is to rescue brands from mediocre promotions, enabling them to shine in their true light!

    (Rescuing damsels in distress is considered out of scope and an additional charge! 😆)

  • ‘Design Victory’ – That would be an awesome answer, but it’s my middle initials, Derek Victor. (Blame my parents!)
