What to check for this job

A branding project includes initial design, a defined revision allowance and final artwork. Make additional revisions or print-production costs visible without implying a change to the original agreement.

See the graphic designers workflow in Experi →
  • Brief and project reference
  • Deliverables or artwork stage
  • Included versus additional revision rounds
  • Print, licensing or production costs agreed

Watch out: Do not invoice an included revision as an extra or use the invoice to introduce rights or licence terms that were never agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a graphic design invoice include?

List each deliverable separately with its fee. Include the number of revision rounds, file formats to be supplied, and any licensing terms. Separating design work from print management makes your charges transparent.

How do I handle copyright and usage rights on invoices?

Specify whether you are transferring full copyright or granting a licence. Many designers retain copyright and licence usage. State this clearly on the invoice and in your terms - IP typically transfers only upon full payment.

Should I charge for client revisions?

Include a set number of revision rounds in your quoted price. Beyond that, charge an hourly rate for additional changes. Clearly state revision terms on your invoice to avoid scope creep.

Do I need to register as self-employed to invoice for design work?

Yes, if you earn over £1,000 from self-employment in a tax year, you must register with HMRC. You can register as a sole trader or set up a limited company. You must file a Self Assessment tax return each year.
