I had a terrible experience trying to get business brochures designed and printed. The graphic designers designs were terrible. Didn't match the feel or colours of my website, the front didn't match the back, the photos were cropped in funny places the visual look to it was all wrong and I am no graphic designer. I told her how I wanted something, it was done so bad and completely drew your eye to it as it was in the foreground when I said background. Then I gave her a sample, which she copied but didnt keep the changes that I wanted to the sample. Grrr. The turn around time was supposed to be 3 days, and it was over a week. Didnt send through proofs when she said she would. I cancelled my order and will go somewhere else. Hope they dont bill me for what shes done as its going in the bin and I'll start from scratch with another company.

Approximate cost: $Graphic designer time is $110 per hour.
