What You Get

What is inside, section by section — all 45 of them, in order: 1. A three-hour quote became nineteen hours and fourteen artworks. 2. Marketing is periodic and never finishes, which makes the work recur. 3. Clients cannot assess design quality and can absolutely assess whether it went wrong. 4. Read the schedulable and master-transfers columns first. 5. Not art, not illustration, not branding, and not a taste conversation. 6. A file that goes to press becomes thousands of physical objects. 7. A flyer is an artwork set, and the count belongs in the quote. 8. Copy arrives in fragments and changes without announcement. 9. Fees are per artwork; costs are the master, the styles and the presets. 10. Five boundaries, and a decline log that shows whether they are placed correctly. 11. Rank on recurrence and adaptation share rather than on interest. 12. Nobody sends a usable brief; you write it back and get it agreed. 13. Look at printers and seasonal reprinters; ignore award work entirely. 14. Four lines and four numbers, or it is notes rather than a plan. 15. Lowest genuine startup cost, highest capacity for buying nothing useful. 16. Whether insurance covers a reprint or only the fee is a different number. 17. Embedding in a supplied PDF is where most designers are quietly non-compliant. 18. Per-piece pricing charges the same for origination and adaptation. 19. Show sets rather than pieces, and state your actual role. 20. Nine steps, and the two beginners skip decide whether it is profitable. 21. A grid is not a style decision; it is the cost of the second artwork. 22. Hierarchy that holds at the smallest and largest destination in the set. 23. Brand red built in screen colour printed orange on a three-metre banner. 24. Change the headline once and see whether thirteen artworks update. 25. Every item on the preflight list cost somebody a print run. 26. A client who cannot tell which file goes where will use the wrong one. 27. One word after export touches every artwork in the set. 28. A high ratio on a two-artwork job means nothing. 29. A pack agreed at six artworks becomes sixteen without anybody deciding. 30. Consistency across the set breaks first, and the master is the fix. 31. Two of the registers answer questions that arrive years later. 32. The unbilled hours are scoping, chasing copy, proofing and preflight. 33. A side hustle's capacity is small enough for one client to fill it. 34. Your deadline belongs to the printer rather than to the delivery date. 35. Five things drift in order, and the last costs more than the fee. 36. Six numbers, and a rising rate can be borrowed against a reprint. 37. Seven preconditions, none of which is a portfolio or a client. 38. A confident wrong specification becomes a document setup and then a reprint. 39. Twelve worksheets including the four rules and the artwork set planner. 40. Fourteen registers including the licence log and the master file specification. 41. Twelve sheets including the print specification request and the preflight check. 42. Twelve calculators and controls, every figure blank because the arithmetic is yours. 43. Twelve tools including the ten-client target list and the licence log. 44. Six review resources plus all 148 prompts collected by chapter. 45. The four rules restated, what drifts, and what to start with. Every worksheet, register and checklist is included, and every financial figure in the book is left blank on purpose — you fill them in from your own measured costs rather than someone else's guesses. Instant download. Yours to keep and print as often as you like.
