Design Services
We want to be transparent about what we do, the effort put into each project, and the cost that goes along with it. Šek is a design studio, not a marketing or advertising agency. Our work is design and we’re pretty darn good at it. We love designing so much that we’d do it for free, but you can’t buy pizza or diapers with favors. So here’s a list of some common design services we provide along with what’s included for each.
Have a project in mind that’s not listed below? Let us know. Some projects are more grey than black or white, so fill us in on what you need and we’ll put together a tailored estimate for you.
