Actor Design - Services & Rates

"Design is not for philosophy—it’s for life." - Issey Miyake

The Actors' Enterprise is proud to offer a broad range of design services for actors, including actor website design, postcards, and business cards and more!

When actors talk to me about design work, one of the first questions they ask me is, "How are you different than the other guys?" Scroll down or click on the right for full details including samples, rates, and to find out how we do things differently (and have fun in the process!)

We're Different Than Other Designers!

When actors talk to me about design work, one of the first questions they ask me is, "How are you different than the other guys?" There are five main points:

1) Free Marketing Coaching

As a fellow actor, I know how important  it is to find affordable prices on essential items like postcards, business cards, resumes and websites. But having affordable prices is not enough- actors need to know HOW to use these materials to their best advantage. So, every design order comes with a FREE marketing consulting - we'll go over design needs in detail and to talk about the best ways to use these marketing materials as a part of your overall business plan. Where else can you get this kind of support with your designs?

2) Flat Rate Design

Once the design has been started, the actor and TAE will work together until the project has been built to the actor's specifications. All fees are FLAT RATE, which means that we will work together until it is done right, with no extra cost to you.

4) You Own The Artwork (YourOwnDesign©)

All original files will be given to you upon completion of work, which is a rarity in the design world. Most designers hold onto the artwork so that it forces you to use them again when you have changes/updates. Owning your artwork means that you have full flexibility to choose how you want your artwork to be handled in the future. (Of course, if you want to come to me, I would be most pleased!)

For websites: You can use us to do your updates, or you can have a friend or family member take over the updates for your website- it's your choice with YourOwnDesign©. **Click here to learn more about YourOwnDesign©.

For postcards & business cards: Use TAE's printer (free account will be created for you) or choose someone else- it's your choice with YourOwnDesign©. **Click here to learn more about YourOwnDesign©.

5) Reprints under $25 (no kidding!), and Dirt Cheap web updates

For postcards & business cards: The printer I use, Next Day Flyers, has a low cost program that gets you discounted postcards in a flash. This means that your reprints will range from $6-$25, depending on your shipping time -- a huge savings from other companies.

For websites: Changes are made through my inexpensive "retainer" program. Pay $65 to "retain" me for 1 hour of changes. For every update that is made, the design time will be deducted from your retainer. That way, you only pay for the changes you need, and the rest of the hour is saved for future updates -- what other designer offers that?
