MISSION & STR ATEGY

2 3 4 5 6 7

Mission Statement

A grand major ity of graphic designers do not understand or

implement contracts within their work. Contracts are the basic level of

protection for graphic designers. The current fight against this dilemma

is Online templates ; great for those who already understand contracts,

but leaving many readers scratching their heads.

teaching freelance graphic designers how to understand contracts, and,

through understanding, develop the ability to read contracts presented

to them and wr ite outgoing contracts for freelance client work. This new

sk ill will provide more comfort, secur ity, and control to designers.

Design Agreement is a multi-day traveling conference all about

19 20

W hy

W hile many publications, most noticeably the AIGA STA NDA R D

FOR M OF AGR EEMENT FOR DESIGN SERV ICES, are great resources,

they are not teachers (Graphic Artists...). 83% of designers sur veyed by

Terr y Stone, in 2006, do not use the AIGA standard for m. There is a fear

and discomfort from the design community, from the recent college grad

to the long ter m freelancer. Designers want to lear n more about contracts

for the simple fact that; designers get screwed by contracts.

Strategy

Design Agreement is presented through a 2 day design

conference. The f irst day is planned around teaching the basics of a contract, common contract clauses, and being able to defuse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; legalese.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The focus of the second day is workshops based upon where designers have a lack of understanding. Workshops will also be focused on wr iting contracts for certain projects, the differences between a web contract and a logo contract. Partner ing with local design communities is essential in the holding of events.

W hy

The template is the current overarching solution. W hile this is a usable item, it ignores hands-on lear ning. Design Agreement is focused on understanding contracts, and that requires hands-on lear ning. Without building the basic understanding of a contract, a template is void and potentially dangerous. Through a convention of workshops and lectures, designers will work from a basic understanding to contract autonomy. The final step is comfort. W hen a designer is able to competently represent themselves legally, the contract changes from a for m to be feared to a protector of their work.

LOG O EX PLOR ATION

2 3 4 5 6 7

Exploration of Logo Possibilities

The main challenge for Design Agreement was choosing an

appropiate name without too much length. As contracts have been heavily

covered by a multitude of sources, many names are already out and

about. Contracts for Creatives, Design Contracts, Contracts for Graphic

Designers, etc. were already within use.

repugnant logos combined with questioning looks as to what the logo

actually was, I realized my own humorous style was a barr ier to a

ser ious logo for the project. Playing to my own strengths, as well as the

aesthetics of designers, I decided to shoot for a ty pe only solution, which

would keep the brand simple and easily approachable. A fter a long search

Design Agreement was settled on. At r ight you can see a few sketches for

def unct early logo solutions.

I orginally exporled the name X or x

FINAL LOGO

2 3 4 5 6 7

Logo

Simplicit y is the name of the game. I used t y pographyforlaw yers.

com to choose a font family with both a design histor y and a law histor y

(see page 10 for more details). With simplicit y in mind Design Agreement

uses just a wordmark with an optional box surrounding it. Left air y and

open, the brand felt as though it was too crowded with a logo, and the

logo often left viewers more confused in the case of a brand such as this,

which mi xes law and creativit y. Oil and water. The optional box around

the wordmark is based upon old contracts, which would have a box

drawn around them, and current invoicing procedures, in which the box

is the general symbol of separation between categor ies and inputs.

19 20

Wordmark

The beef and potatoes of the brand. Combining the design

histor y of Caslon, with the moder n and creative approach of Benguiat,

it is a ty pe that can be pushed around like Helvetica, but with a classic

older look. Pushing the leading to a huge 250, and setting all caps helps

to complete the look of a contract title.

27 28

Lack of Icon

A combination of the need for simplicity with my own

inadequacies. A nything beyond a simple wordmark caused a busy look

with an already lengthy feeling name. My own mark mak ing trends toward

cartoony and humorous, thus my logos were not an appropr iate fit.

T Y POGR A PH Y

Choice

Design Agreement uses ITC Caslon 224 as its only ty peface.

With a basis of mak ing contracts simple, it was found that a simple single

ty peface solution would prove suitable. A rework ing of William Caslon’s

ty pe work (“William...”) by Edward Banguiat (“Edward...”), Caslon 224

has deep roots within design histor y. The discover y of this font was due

to font recommendations on ty pographyforlaw yers.com, in which Matthew

Butter ick demonstrates Williams Caslon. Caslon has a higher contrast

between its thick and thin lines within its ser if than Williams Caslon.

17 18

Usage

The wordmark for Design Agreement uses Caslon in all caps,

medium, and with a massive 250 track ing. Title usage is also in all caps,

however in bold and with 200 track ing. In body Caslon is generally

limited to 75 track ing, and used in either black, medium, or medium

italic, and never in all caps. This usage is based upon the general layout

and for matting of ty pe within legal documents.

Simple black and white with few hits of color when appropr iate.

Design Agreement is based upon the simplicity of what contracts can be.

Based on the aesthetic of a contract, the color palette is plain. The goal is

to show contracts as simple and easy to use words. Graphic designers are

familiar with the visual laden side of words as well as work ing with their

context. Design Agreement has based its color usage on that simplicity.

TONE

2 3 4 5 6 7

W hy

There are two based tones which needed to be presented.

The first tone is that which makes designers feel happy inside,

and invited them to come and partake. Simplicity and ty pe, two concepts

which are familiar and comforting to the greater designer community.

Tak ing the layouts from a prof usion of contracts already in exsistence

and f using it with Swiss ty pographic posters allows for a law feel in

combination with an air y and simplistic composition.

ty pe, overlayed or placed together in such a way where readibility is

still exsistant, however is lowered and difficult. Sometimes this ty pe

style is used within punk or dada aethetics. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal is to show

the stereoty pical designer view of what a contract looks like. Put in

combination with the first tone, it will appear even more overwhelming

and busy.

The second tone is the dystopia to the first toneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utopia. Busy

Audience

Graphic Designers ; in particular those who freelance or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

have much exper ience with contracts. Even those who already use

contracts would find it beneficial to attend to get a second look at their

contracts in use, but also to refresh their memor y. Design Agreement

looks to affect those who are not confident with contracts, fear them, are

ignorant to the words presented, and overall hurt by not having a work ing

understanding of them.

contracts. The people in need of immediate help. Those who have already

been screwed by contracts are equally important, an older group, they

also need help in rework ing their existing contracts. The final group is

a preventative one, the youthf ul designer who has yet to use or need a

contract. By implementing a usage of contracts with them early on in

their careers, Design Agreement builds a stronger business person out of

that designer.

The essential target market are those getting screwed by

FINA NCIAL

2 3 4 5 6 7

Audience

Graphic design is one of the lowest paying jobs to be expected

directly out of college (StudentsReview). The median salar y for a graphic

designer nationwide in the U.S. is $49,315 (salar y.com). This places the

average graphic designer income just below the median household income

nationwide of $51,017 (Denavas-Walt). With such a low level of pay for a

career that averages a college education; money is tight. A longside this,

law yer fees are notor iously high, even a contract review law yer in N YC

can cost between $50 and $75 an hour (Neil). A nd all that law yer does is

double check your already wr itten document.

professionals whether a design was a good or ser vice within a contract,

I was met with mainly odd stares and excessive questions. It seems that

most designers have a lax understanding as to what they are even selling

in business or law ter ms (Stone). A financial f law. Such an error can cost

a designer hundreds of dollars, or even the r ights to their own work, or

in a worst case scenar io : a lawsuit for displaying the work they created

in their own portfolio. Even the Graphic A rts Guild recommends using a

clause for such a case (Shaftel).

W hy

Designers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand contracts and have to pay for it. Want proof that designers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand contracts, just look at the many books based on the subject, or the thousands of websites. 43 million hits on graphic design contract on Google alone. A nd the financial costs for not understanding or not using a contract can range from getting paid $50 total instead of $50 / hour to having to pay a multi-thousand dollar penalty for a design due to a week late deliver y date.

Ref lection

I expected to see ignorance and fear of contracts from my classmates, generally based on a lack of histor y within the design industr y, but the sur pr ise came mainly from teachers and professionals. Many teachers understood contracts in general, but were not acquainted with specific clauses or felt comfortable editing a contract they were given. More so, it was shown that most professionals told me that they were able to find their way in the world of contract through getting screwed by them, k nowing only what to look for based on what they had been histor ically financially screwed by.

Most harrowing was look ing at how little designers on average

make, and how much law yer fees are, mak ing it cost prohibitive to use a law yer unless that law yer is a fr iend giving you a good discount rate.

HISTOR ICA L

2 3 4 5 6 7

Audience

Most work ing designers have a histor y with contracts. A nd from

sur vey: it is mainly a negative based histor y. There is a long standing

histor y of designers who do not like, or, even more often, fear or resent

contracts. Two basic needs must be met. First is convincing those with

a short histor y of contracts that contracts are actually an item they can

use to protect themselves, through a show of the benefits of contracts.

The second of which is overthrowing the lax procedures by those with

longer histor ies with contracts and the design field (Picciaf uoco). It is not

uncommon for designers with a long client relationship to drop the use

of a contract in order to ease the speed of work within the relationship

(Stone).

“A good contract prevents conf usion and protects ever yone’s interests. You realize how important this is after you’ve been bur ned a few times.” - Shel Perk ins (Stone).

There is a long histor y of the conf using contract. Out of fear of

misunderstanding the contract itself designers tend to shy away, however the contract is meant for clar ification. Thus by pushing forward a style of contract wr iting based on understanding basic law vocabular y mixed with wr iting a contract with your own personal voice, we show designers that a contract can be used simply and clearly.

Ref lection

The histor y of design and its lament of contracts was a histor y I shared at a personal level. Through discussions with work ing professionals I was dismayed at how my previous fear matched the current for work ing designers. W hat changed my histor y? Business Law 1 at Champlain College, in which I was given the depth of how contracts were wr itten. I took this class as a double major, but my personal identity was still f ully aligned as a graphic designer. Thus I took the class as one, and was elated at how much it pertained to me as a designer. For me personally, this section became evident then, almost 3 years ago.

OWNERSHIP

2 3 4 5 6 7

Audience

The biggest nightmare that any graphic designer can have is their

work being stolen, taken, being corr upted, or in any way disappear ing.

W hile ownership is a relatively small part of a contract in ter ms of the

wr itten word (Far is), it is the most contested (Shaftel). The designer

wants as much access to their work as possible and the client wants as

much access to the designs as they can get.

Teach designers all of the crazy ways in which their work can be taken

from them through the legal system and, more importantly, how to

protect from it is the essence of importance.

Design Agreement has a large focus on ownership for that reason.

W hy

Ever had a computer crash while you were wr iting a paper?

Mak ing a design? Finishing off a financial calculation? It sucks. A nd you

get angr y because you k now that there is nothing you could do, its just

bad luck. Having your design taken and being able to do nothing because

you did not protect it is a similar feeling, but you k now you could have

done something.

protect against against that feeling before that feeling happens, or at least

stopping you from havin g to go through that again. Ownership can be

financial, but for the creative, the emotional can hurt the worst.

The idea of Design Agreement is being able to teach you how to

Ref lection

Ownership did not come to my mind immediately, as it is many

times not supremely recognized. Many designers use stock art without consent, or have their art used in such a similar way and feel as though they have no control over its theft. The common example I was given was what is an average communication between desigenrs and clients :

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here are the preliminar y mock-ups of your logo, please review

them and respond with changes for the next round of mock-ups.â&#x20AC;? - Designer

A nd no response, no payment, no communication at all. Then

the designer sees the prelimar y design in use. From online examples to personal accounts, this is a standard within the design industr y. This happens far too often. New just came the designer recognition that they could have done something about the problem before it happened in order to protect against it. Nothing feels worse than losing something and k nowing it was because you didnt f ight to protect it in the f irst place.

POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES

2 3 4 5 6 7

Foreseen : Positive

The most important consequence is that graphid designers start

to use contracts to protect themselves and that it becomes the nor m.

Graphic designers get to keep more of the money that they have made, as

well as are overall stronger and more comfortable financially.

13 14 15 16 17 18 19

Foreseen : Negative

A slight loss of some work for designers based soley on an

industr y standard fear of a contract with a graphic designer, esspecially

for smaller projects. A forseen negative consequence is harsher r ules

around design contracts. Personal ver nacular can be taken advantage

of with design contracts due to the close nature of the client-designer

relationship, and the law could change in accordance against the tr ust of

that relationship.

28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

- 24 -

Unforeseen : Positive

This actually had to be told to me by another student, but, better laws for designers, and more protection for design work in the legal sphere. This project could possibly inspire young graphic designers to persue a career in legal work, and possibly push his all the way into copyr ight law or intellectual property law.

Unforeseen : Negative

One unforeseen negative consequence would be that contract

law yers would have slightly less work, however it is still recommended that a designer visit a contract law yer with dependance on the monetar y scale of the project.

Ideation

W hen it came to the posters for Design Agreement, the main

concept was eye-catching dystopia of contracts. Through the use of copy

as patter n rather than simply words I was able to shift the contract into

a visual understanding rather than a legal one. In order to keep the

contract aesthetic, from a designer perspective, I added contract layout,

heav y overly wide columns, justified ty pe, and overall busy and heav y

layouts.

am comfortable with ty pe. I treated the words as though they were lines

rather than actual ty pe in order to focus aesthetically rather than on the

actual copy. This was combined with ad concepts, showing a semblance of

a lesson to lear n in order to help promote the idea of the poster being for

a class.

For sketches I stayed within the digital realm as it was were I

W hy

The idea of the visual dystopis of a contract was based soley on

the designer opinion of a contract, and creating a visual inter pretation.

Tak ing such design ideas of heirarchy, white space, and f low of the page

and including them within the page, r ules followed, but broken was

the first step. Familiar ity and conf usion. Thus designers were given an

aesthetic that was familiar, and yet unsettling in some way.

This was the main f un of the project. The dystopia. For basic

sketches I began to push around ty pe on a page in order to obtain all of

the pr incipals above. With a good few posters shifted from a quick sketch

to a actuallized graphic, I saw an opportunity for a slight change.

a slight difference of design aesthetic exsisted, but in no way was able to

express that myself. Thus research. Each poster is based on the design

aesthetic of the city it is representing to f urther push the poster towards

Simplicity was the name of the game. I pur posely chose so little

to illustrate within the book to allow for an easy openness. The openness

was essential. Graphic designers often feel overburdened by lengthy

contracts, and thus this publication needed to feel fr iendly. The cover

and back were given the most freedom for creative direction, and, as the

show was happening in Burlington, I looked into how to incor porate that

aesthetic and make the book pop on the cover.

choose to set the ty pe large to copy layouts from childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publications.

The outside of the publication is built on two divided aspects.

The first is the showing of the logo outside of pockets. The publication is

just large enough to peek out of pockets and such gives an opportunity to

show our logo. The second is a creative yet bold composition on the front

and back to interest the designer to open the publication. I gave myself

some artistic license with this, and re-pur posed one of the poster designs

to carr y through the brand.

some decent freedom. This realization came from researching layouts

to find the fr iendliest professional appear ing design possible. I copied

a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book as a joke and loved it. With the ty pe it allowed for

fr iendly yet professional. I then moved that ty peset around until the

aesthetics were clear and concise.

The inter ior is based on a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book layout, which also has

One of the most difficult part of reading through a contract and

editing it, possibly one of the most difficult actions a person could ask

for a designer to do, is the vocabular y. Beyond the use of conf using and

intentially obscure wr iting is the wr iting of definitions of this vocabular y.

Equally conf using descr iptions are given to already cr pytic words and

phrases.

gives them the average man definition. Even down to a base of what that

means within a contract. These books were made small, 4in wide by 5in

tall, and slightly thin in order to be easily mobile. The small size also

allows for the book to be left on a designer desk and stay major itively out

of the way until needed.

seen within the posters, the design is open and air y. Plenty of space

and thin columns that would be used within children books takes the

ser ious tone of the Design Agreement ty pe and makes it approachable

and fr iendly. Not an end all be all solution by any means, this book is

supposed to be just another fr iendly guide for a designer.

Thus, this book tack les some of those SAT vocabular y words and

Ideation

The website started with a page listing and what should be on

each page. I then began work ing out what the basic design pr incipals for

it should be. Websites have a distinctively different aesthetic based upon

the activity which it can have, as well as no standard media size and have

to be reactive.

f low, thus the site fell in line with a hor izontal layout. I then worked to

create the assests for the site, the bars, the call outs, the importance of

infor mation. I worked particularly hard on separation of navigation and

page without any mark ings, and the cohesiveness of the websites body.

The general aethetic from other deliverables had a hor izontal

The utopian view point of the brand called for a ver y open design

of simplicity I worked to compress each page to be as minimalistic as

possible.
