About Us
Tyler Poole
Graphic Designer | Motion Artist | Videographer | Photographer
Tyler here! I have been creating digital art and media since the 7th grade as a volunteer for my church, and have only grown in my love for what I do since then! Over the years, my skills have branched into motion graphics, videography and photography, in addition to graphic design. I earned my B.A. in Digital Media at Dallas Baptist University, where I also met my wife, Shea.
When I'm not designing, I can usually be found hiking a mountain, playing video games, or preaching at my church.
Shea Poole
Graphic Designer | Illustrator
Hey there! My name is Shea Poole and I am a graphic designer and illustrator. Growing up, I loved doing arts and crafts and never grew out of it. Even at a young age, I knew I wanted to be an artist. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Commercial Arts at Dallas Baptist University (where I also met my husband, Tyler). College helped me learn that I have a deep passion for graphic design and illustration. Since then I have continued to pursue my artistic abilities through experimenting in different techniques, mediums, and ideas.
In my spare time I love picking wild flowers, being outside, and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee. If you happen to run into me, I'm probably at a coffee shop listening to indie folk music while drawing and designing.
Policies
Payment
For most projects, Emulate Creative Media generally requires all clients and/or businesses to pay 50% of the quoted price upfront. No design services will be provided until this amount is paid. Once the project is complete, the client will pay the remaining 50%.
For monthly payments, clients and/or businesses must promise to fulfill each payment by the agreed upon dates. A 10% late fee will be applied for every week the payment is late.
For hourly payments, an invoice will be sent every Friday for the hours worked that given week. A 10% late fee will be applied for every week the payment is late.
If the client fails to provide payment for any project without prior notice or explanation, we will revoke access to any files we have already sent, and will not send any additional or completed work until the payment is received. If a client who has missed payments attempts to use any of our assets or work in any capacity, we will pursue legal action against the individual or company involved.
Clients can pay through check (make out to Tyler Poole), Venmo, or Cash App with the user ID: emulatecreative.
Services
Every project we begin with a client will be given defined parameters: project type, number of options we will initially provide, expected completion dates, number of client-requested edits allowed, etc. Each project will also come with an invoice detailing these parameters, and a contract that the client must sign before we will begin work.
All defined parameters will be followed closely by the Emulate Creative team. If the client desires additional options, sooner completion dates, or any other change, they may contact us about these requests, and must be aware that it may require additional payment for the project. Any client that makes demands outside of the defined parameters as a prerequisite to paying us will be subject to having their project terminated.
We reserve the right to refuse any project request at our own discretion. This includes but is not limited to project requests that are:
-
Objectionable / Offensive
-
Illegal or in support of illegal activity
-
In contradiction to our beliefs and conscience
-
From a client who has previously violated a contract
-
Unable to completed due to constraints on our end
Ownership
Upon the completion of a project and final payment by the client, the client becomes the owner of the contents of the project and are free to use it as they please. However, the client is not allowed to claim original authorship of a project we created, and must give credit to us when asked about the origin of the contents. We reserve the right to use the contents of any projects we create to showcase our work on social media, our website, and on physical promotional material.
We will never request royalties from our work unless there was an agreed-upon decision before completion of the project, and clients cannot request royalties from us when we showcase material we have created.
If the client makes unofficial changes to the contents of a project we completed for them, such as altering a logo design, splicing a video, etc., we will continue to use our original content to showcase our work, as the altered content no longer represents our work. Furthermore, we may deny project requests using client-altered assets if we feel the altered assets would harm the image of our brand or work.
