Process & pricing

From the first brief to the final files.

Our planned service starts with paid proposals from 3–5 designers. You choose a direction, then commission the full project from the selected designer.

Discuss a project

International inquiries welcome. We are preparing to launch and welcome project inquiries by email. We will discuss international projects individually. An inquiry is free and does not book a project or commit you to payment.

The process

How a project will run.

  1. 01

    Share your brief

    Tell us what you need, your budget, deadline and location. Your first inquiry is free, with no obligation to proceed.

  2. 02

    Review the proposed team

    Review the proposed designers, their availability and a written cost breakdown. For international projects, we discuss payment and contract terms with you directly.

  3. 03

    Confirm the project

    After you accept the terms and we confirm advance payment, the team begins. Every participant who completes the agreed proposal work receives the pitch fee, whether or not their concept is chosen.

  4. 04

    Choose a direction

    Compare the proposals with your brief and choose a designer for the full project. You may not use an unselected concept without a separate agreement.

  5. 05

    Develop the final work

    Sign a separate agreement with the selected designer for the full project. It covers deliverables, revisions, deadlines, fees and intellectual property rights.

Build on Standard with web or app interfaces, or a packaging series. We will confirm deliverables and support before kickoff.

What the total covers

Where the budget goes.

Pitch fees

Every participant who completes the agreed proposal work receives a pitch fee, whether or not they are selected. The fee, payment date and any settlement deductions are agreed before work starts.

Full project fee

This pays the selected designer to develop your chosen concept into the final deliverables. It is separate from their pitch fee.

Platform fee

This covers selecting the team and coordinating the project. Your written cost breakdown shows the fees and applicable taxes before you commit. Designer settlement charges are agreed separately with each designer.

Before you inquire

Questions about the process.

Is this right for my project?

It works best for projects with specific deliverables in branding, UX/UI, industrial design, web or packaging. If you need ongoing support or a small one-off task, tell us what you have in mind.

Are these prices a quote?

No. These KRW figures help you plan a budget. For international work, we will confirm the scope, team availability, payment currency and taxes before giving you a quote.

What if I do not select a proposal?

Before you commit, we explain what happens if you do not choose a proposal. Cancellation and refund decisions take account of completed work, the agreed terms and your rights under applicable law.

Can I use an unselected concept?

No. The designer keeps those rights unless you make a separate agreement. Your full project contract will specify the rights to the selected work.
