Ixthusdan Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 If it is a template and no graphics, $50 per hour for three hours=$150. If you are creating a new graphic, then calculate your time for design at the same rate. And sell the rights to the graphic to them for additional. So, 2 hours of design time=$100, and $200 base price for graphic design= $300 for a new graphic that takes 2 hours to design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 comments from my g/f (graphic designer major): She says a firm in Philadelphia put that rate at $20/hr, especially if you're just starting out (freelancing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I was about to ask where you live.. I make double in California what I made in upstate New York.. depends on where you live.. You can also try to find an association of graphic designers (e.g. group that meets once a month) and ask aroound for local pricing info..
