Design Services

However, the ability to provide digital graphic design services allows for a more lenient approach to artwork submission. Mad Max is fully digital and can modify or convert sub-standard artwork into a format that will produce great digitizing. Business cards, napkin sketches, and color copies of existing embroidery designs can all be modified digitally for embroidery digitizing purposes. Mad Max will work with you to produce the results you need!

Design Charges

Modifications to artwork and design services will result in increased turn-around times and design charges. A design fee of $40 per hour with a $20 minimum will be applied to any artwork that is not received in the appropriate format as described below.
