Appreciate you advice Jalyha-

I will either write up a contract or keep it casual but cover off all the details in an email.

This is similar to my standard terms:

- I ask for a payment up front (usually 1/3)
- Since I do not have consumables (being a digital artist) my prices are based on expected effort and my desired hourly rate
- If specific fonts or graphics are required that I don't already own, my cost of purchasing that font/graphic is a straight adder
- For my normal pricing I retain copyright, and provide a licence for the intended use
- I limit the number of significant revisions in that price
- I do not provide the final work (either the full image at full size or a PNG file) until after the final payment is received

I've been fortunate and only had one or two bad clients.
