Turnaround Time
Turnaround time varies by project. Gavin Parker Art strives to meet realistic deadlines set and agreed upon through clear communication with the Customer. Detailed organisation on the part of both the Customer and Gavin Parker Art at the beginning of a project will result in fewer revisions and faster completion of the project. The amount of time the Customer takes to review a proof prior to requesting a revision or approving final art can and will affect turnaround time. Excessive review time will alter agreed upon deadlines. If the Customer has not provided text, photos, or any other content necessary for the completion of a design project within 15 days of delivery of the first design concept, the project will be cancelled and subject to the conditions set forth in this document regarding cancelled work.
Revisions
A revision is any change whatsoever to a concept or design once it is presented. Gavin Parker Art encourages the Customer to take as much time as he or she reasonably needs to deliver accurate feedback on a design. However, excessive review time will alter agreed upon deadlines (see Turnaround Time). If Gavin Parker Art is unable to contact the Customer and the Customer does not contact Gavin Parker Art within 30 days after a concept or revised layout has been presented, then the project will be cancelled and subject to the conditions set forth in this document regarding cancelled work.
