A graphic design contract is an agreement between clients and designers, which outlines the terms of services, prices, deadlines and other important details of a project. It ensures that both parties understand the requirements of the project and sets expectations for its completion. It also serves as a reference in case any disputes arise during or after the project has been completed. A graphic design contract should specify the type of work to be done, such as logo design, web design, digital illustration, motion graphics or other related tasks; payment schedule; intellectual property rights; legal obligations; duration of the contract; and any additional services required. A well-crafted graphic design contract can help protect a designer’s rights and promote successful outcomes for both the designer and the client.
