How much should I charge for graphic design work?

How much to charge for graphic design freelance work?

  • Today I got hired for my first freelance project!! The guy wants me to create a 1/4-page flyer, a banner, and a poster. He is providing the artwork/text, I just come up with the layout. I am going to create a 4-up layout for the flyers, and whatever dimensions he needs for the poster and banner. I know you are not into the smaller scale projects, but what do you think I should charge for this type of work? I think a flat fee would be best but I wanted your opinion before I spoke with him. Let me know what you think!

  • Answer:

Get some money up front... like half of the cost of your labor. I've had alot of people flake on me and I didn't get paid. Since it's your first freelance job, keep the hourly rate a little lower than you would if you were a seasoned designer. Say $20 per hour. A flate fee can come back to bite you if they want change after change to be made. I think I'd charge about 20 an hour X 6 hours, so about $120 plus printing expenses... tack on another hour for your time sending it to them and for you to approve or make changes to the proof. Now we're at $140. Then if they have any major changes I'd bill them at $20 per hour.
