How To Write A Proposal 
and Contract Signed, dated and now, 
a legal document For Artists, Designers, and Illustrators

Never work without a signed and dated contract.

One of the most common mistakes new, young or inexperienced creatives make when working with Clients is not using a Contract to protect themselves, their artwork and business. You don’t have to be an attorney to write a contract nor do you need to use one. If you're an artist, designer or illustrator that’s currently working without a Contract in place, learn what elements you should include in one and how to put it together. See sample contracts for layout ideas. There’s also bonus material on how to calculate your hourly rate because it’s not just some number you pull out of thin air.
