Images, sound & design / Remote
Presentation design
Redesign approved slide content for hierarchy, legibility and a consistent visual story.
What to price before starting
Check slide software, font licensing and compatibility with the client's device.
Use your own written quotes, including recurring costs and the cash you could lose. Owning equipment does not establish customer demand.
Skills you must be able to demonstrate
Information design, accessible contrast and visual pacing.
Before the first payment
Confirm the source content, presentation environment and number of revision rounds.
Keep the deliverable, exclusions, approvals and payment responsibility in writing. Do not treat a lead, an invoice or a promised reimbursement as money received.
Where this can go wrong
Decorative choices can hide important facts or break on another machine.
Requirements and refusal boundaries
Use licensed images and avoid implying that design verifies the client's claims.
Confirm the exact activity with the relevant authority and insurer. The references below explain general issues; they do not approve this individual service in your jurisdiction.
A lower-risk validation step
Rework your own explanatory slides and test the exported file.
Set a stop condition before spending: what evidence would make you decline, change scope or stop? A practice sample should never expose another person's confidential material.
