AIGA Standard Contract for Design Services

This agreement allows you to create customized terms and conditions for different types of design engagements. Updated in 2013, it is modular to meet the needs of a growing design community involved in various disciplines.

HOW TO USE THE CONTRACT TEMPLATE

The AIGA Standard Form of Agreement for Design Services does not take a one-size-fits-all approach, and it is not an extensive pre-printed document where you simply fill in the blanks. Instead, this agreement acknowledges that most design firms develop their own custom proposal document for each project and are looking for an appropriate set of terms and conditions to attach to it. When put together and signed, the custom proposal document and its attached terms and conditions comprise the binding agreement with the client. With this in mind, the focus of the agreement is on those terms and conditions. In addition to being more customizable, this modularity helps keep individual agreements down to a more manageable size.

The first two modules, Basic Terms & Conditions and Intellectual Property Provisions, should be used for all design assignments. An additional three modules are provided as supplements that can be added to the agreement as needed: Print-specific Terms & Conditions, Interactive-specific Terms & Conditions and Environmental-specific Terms & Conditions.

Unf*ckwithable Words

A collection of 300+ expert-written business scripts to help you say bye-bye to feeling like a naive, too-sweet-for-her-own-good pushover—and show up to the table like an in-control pro. Because it’s officially the worst feeling in the world: when that client walks all over you and you don’t know how to speak up and you end up losing a ton of money and you land yourself in a pit of vodka-soaked watermelon despair. (What? It’s a thing.) And it’s even harder when money’s on the line, and you’re worried that if you put your foot down, or set your boundaries, or say anything other than, “No problem!” you’ll end up losing the client, losing all of your money, and begging a homeless man with a beard for a blanket.

Over the years you’ll get better at this, for sure: Better at setting boundaries. Better at asserting yourself. Better at asking for the money you really want (without practically choking!). Better at managing people and projects and expectations. (And carrying your own emergency blanket, of course.)

But in the meantime, you need help. You need a top secret encyclopedia of every business scenario under the sun, and precisely how to ask + respond—with grace, dignity, and professionalism. You need a business bible that will tell you how to handle whatever situation you’re in, and give you the exact words you can use to sound like the most eloquent, gracious pro that you are. You need one big gigantic black book that will help you shave ten years off the learning curve, and help you stand tall, stand proud, and get the confidence that you need, to accomplish anything that you want.
