How a Bartley Studio project works, from estimate to finished files.
- Discover
- Creative direction
- Create
See what happens after you request a price, what we need from you and how source review, creative direction, production and approval fit together.
Start with the scope and a useful price estimate.
- 01
Build an estimate around the work you need
About one minute
Choose the service and scope. Where the work can be priced directly, the form shows an estimate before asking whether the budget fits.
- 02
We review the brief and source material
Fit and feasibility
We check whether the references can support accurate work, whether the requested scope is clear and whether the timing fits current capacity.
- 03
We confirm the project before anything is agreed
Scope, timing and final price
The estimate is not a binding offer. We confirm fit, availability, deliverables, timing and final pricing after reviewing the details.
What we need to represent the product accurately.
Good source material and clear approval matter more than a polished creative brief. We confirm what is required for your product before the project is agreed.
An accurate product reference
- One clear photograph is often enough for a first assessment
- True colour reference: a swatch, a code, or a good shot in daylight
- Real dimensions, and the finish name if it has one
The audience and intended use
- Who it is for, in a sentence
- Where the finished work will run
- Useful visual references and anything the work must avoid
One clear approval route
- Who supplies consolidated feedback
- Who confirms product accuracy and final approval
Direction first, then the complete batch.
- 01
Creative direction
Representative first set
A small set establishes the environment, styling and treatment before the complete batch is produced. The exact timing is confirmed with the project scope.
- 02
Production and accuracy checks
Built to the approved direction
We produce the remaining assets, compare the product with the supplied references and complete the retouching required for a consistent set.
- 03
Review and delivery
Finished for the intended channels
You review the agreed batch, revisions are handled under the confirmed scope, and approved files are delivered at the required ratios, dimensions and naming convention.
Delivery timing depends on the service, product count, asset count, source quality and approval speed. The final schedule is confirmed before anything is agreed.
That is the engagement. If you want the production process itself, the five stages every image goes through are set out on the homepage.
Questions about review, accuracy and ownership.
What if the first set misses?
The representative first set exists to settle the direction before the complete batch is produced. If it misses, the feedback is applied at that stage rather than repeated across every asset.
What if my product comes back looking wrong?
Product accuracy is part of production, not a style preference. Colour, proportion, finish, configuration and materials are checked against the supplied references and corrected when they drift.
How many revisions do I get?
The included review and revision allowance is confirmed in the project scope. Additional work is priced and approved before it begins rather than appearing after delivery.
Who owns the images?
Usage rights are stated in the project terms before work begins. The proposal or agreement is the authority for what is transferred and how the finished work may be used.
What if I need to pause?
Tell us as soon as possible. The effect on work completed, scheduling, delivery and payment follows the agreed project terms and is confirmed before the project resumes.
Do you work with brands outside Australia and New Zealand?
Most of what we do is for Australia and New Zealand, which is where we know the market and the seasons. Outside it is possible and we will be honest about what we do and do not know about your customer.
Price the project, then we will confirm whether the scope and timing fit.
