hi everyone
Just to introduce myself, I am Becky and I'm a graphic design student.
For some extra cash, I have just redesigned a company logo and flyer but don't know how much to charge. I have attached before and afters.
I probably spent a couple of weeks on it, and off on it, I don't know how many hours exactly.
i would appreciate some advice
Thanks
Becky

This is surely something you should think about before you do the work. If I were you I'd work out how many hours you spent on it, and then whatever you feel is a fair hourly rate for your work.
Your client will want to know specific times if you're charging on the clock. So you need to be a lot more specific than this.bex51, post: 2808 a écrit : I probably spent a couple of weeks on it, and off on it, I don't know how many hours exactly. -

I would have to agree with Hellosmithy it is imperative that both parties have agreed a fee and that you give them a rough idea as to how long it will take. Keep an eye on exactly how long you spend on it to make sure you are making a good turnover. I wouldn't of thought you would get away with charging much more than a days work but that depends on whether you submitted more than the design in your post.
With regards an hourly fee, what I did when i started was to work out how much I wanted to earn a year and worked it down from that. I then added a couple of extra pounds to make up for the fact I wouldn't be working all the time.
Another trick is to quote for the entire job and do it as quickly as possible (obviously retaining a high standard) this way you can make more money and your hourly wage will be much higher than usual.
Hope this helps.
