Now TheDesignCubicle has published an article of “What to Include In Your Design Contracts“, which listed the basics and essentials to include in your standard graphic design terms and conditions or contracts. You may find it useful on building your own design contracts as well. However, the guidelines are only a starting point and should be included in every design contract. They should be adapted over time, modified as needed and specific to each designer.

You can find SEO Submission Form, Sales Rep. Contract, Art Approval Sheet, Invoice, Creative Strategy, Print Questionnaire, Terms and Conditions and more. You can customize and add your own logo on those templates.

You will need Adobe Illustrator to alter or change the current forms. If you don’t have Adobe Illustrator, you can use Macromedia Freehand to customize these files to fit your needs. For those that do not have Adobe Illustrator, PDF files have been created for printing and viewing. However, you will not be able to alter the look and feel.
