FAQ’s

Hiring the right person for your project can sometimes be confusing. Here are some answers to questions you might have. For anything else, please get in touch via the e-mail link at the bottom of the page, I’ll be more than happy to help.

  • I help organisations tell compelling visual and editorial stories - from magazines and visitor experiences to branded content. As a multidisciplinary designer, writer and photographer, I create cohesive, engaging materials like print publications, information boards, signage, and merchandise that connect with audiences and bring places, ideas, and brands to life.

  • To get started, just email me at connect@toorndesigns.uk with a few details about your project or the design solution you’re looking for. I’ll respond within 48 hours to answer any initial questions and ask a few more to better understand your needs. Once I have a clear brief, I’ll provide a free quote. If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll send over a contract outlining deliverables, timeline, and - depending on the size of the project - we’ll agree on a part-payment or stage-payment schedule.

  • Logo design, branding, and packaging aren’t my core focus, but I do take on selected projects in these areas when they align with my strengths - particularly where strong visuals and storytelling are key. If you think we might be a good fit, I’m happy to discuss and quote accordingly.

  • Timelines vary depending on the scope, but I work efficiently and keep you updated at every stage. As a guide: a 24-page magazine layout (including asset creation and editing) typically takes 2–3 weeks. Information boards are usually completed within 3–7 days, while posters and signage can often be turned around in 1–3 days. I’ll confirm a realistic timeline when quoting - this may vary depending on my current schedule, but I always plan carefully to ensure quality and meet agreed deadlines.

  • Project costs vary depending on the scope, timeline, and type of work involved. I typically quote on a per-project basis rather than by the hour, but I aim to keep things fair and transparent - most projects are based on a day rate equivalent of around £30/hour. For example, a poster design might start from £90, while a 24-page magazine layout would be quoted per-page based on design, editing, and asset creation time; starting at £50 per page. I’m happy to provide a free, tailored quote once I understand your needs.
