NO BIG AGENCY ENERGY

A small brief.
A good beginning.

01

Tell me your idea

A gig, a screening, an exhibition… send the essentials and the feeling you’re after.

02

Choose your budget

Tell me what the poster is worth to you. There’s a guide, and room to be honest.

03

We’ll work it out

I’ll review the brief and confirm the fee, scope and timing with you before we start.

LET’S GET THE BALL ROLLING

You don’t need a perfect brief.
A few details and a bit of a spark will do.

Fields marked * are required. Everything else is optional.

At least two characters
Leave blank if it’s TBC or not an event.
Allow time to promote it or get it printed.
02 The good stuff

What’s happening? Who’s it for? What should it feel like? A few sentences are great.

0/4000

Include the line-up, venue, date, time, ticket price and booking link where relevant. TBC is fine.

Social starts with Instagram portrait + story.
Design files only; printing is separate.

Up to 3 links to posters, moodboards or your website. Full https:// links, one per line.

Optional additional notes
03 Pay what you want

Good design should have room for good people.

A poster usually falls around £75–£150, depending on the work involved. Use that as a guide, then choose what it’s worth to you and what your budget allows.

GBP
Choose any amount, including £0. No payment is taken here.

This is a proposed fee, not a confirmed booking. I’ll agree the scope, final fee, timing and payment arrangements with you first. Detailed illustration or extra versions may need a separate quote.

A request starts a conversation.
No payment. No commitment yet.

A COUPLE OF GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you hit send.

Can I request a poster on a small budget?

Yes. Choose the amount that works for you, including £0. It’s a proposal for a conversation: I’ll let you know what’s possible before either of us commits.

What do I get?

Tell me whether you need print, social artwork or both. For social, the starting point is an Instagram portrait and story; add any other sizes in your notes. Deliverables and any revisions are agreed before work begins. Printing is arranged separately.

What if my dates or line-up aren’t final?

Put “TBC” where needed and tell me what you already know. Include the date you need the design. Sending a request doesn’t guarantee availability, particularly for urgent deadlines.

Do I pay when I send the brief?

No money is taken here. Your amount is a proposed design fee in GBP. I’ll confirm the price and payment arrangements with you before we start.
