FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I prefer a fixed price to an hourly rate, as do most clients. Depending on the complexity and circulation, here are my services in descending order of price: ⢠Complex color illustrations, such as for a magazine cover. ⢠Completed original logo. ⢠Full-page graphics requiring minimal original illustration. Posters, flyers, etc. ⢠Half page color graphics ⢠Non-color spot illustrations. For storyboards I generally negotiate a time frame for completion and ask for a specific rate "per day."
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Always. There's so much to stay on top of, and I'm constantly trying to sharpen my skills. Trade publications and tutorials are a big part of my diet.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Many, may years of art school.
