advice on quotes!
Hi all.
I've been asked to design 9x a4 page featuring a photo montage on one side and copy on the reverse.
Each image will be be based on their logo, so i will need to edit each image accordingly, add copy and design the layout.
The copy will be the same across 4 of the pages, but different across the remaining 5.
It'll take some time to do this project, i estimate a week...possibly more. They will also need several ammendments. The design will be very corporate.
I've come up with an estimate figure for the job based on a price per page for image and copy. The company i am doing this for will be getting a quote from an agency also.
I was wondering as a freelancer, what sort of price i should charge and what an agency would typically charge? I have an idea...but just wanted to get some advice on this subject!
Any help (ASAP!) would be super duper!
Thanks all,
Jo

As a Freelancer, I'd charge according to your days/weekly rate either :
A week's design with 5 batch of amendments and then a small fee for each amendment thereafter.
or...
A week plus a few extra days design time and offer unlimited revisions.
We are a design agency with all the work prepared in-house. Due to the way we run the business, we are as competitive as a freelancer. Normal design agencies will charge a lot more.
Hope this helps. All the best with your pitch/project.

It's a daunting time especially if you are just starting out. Happy to advice where needed as I was once in your position. Certainly a steep learning curve.
