Hello WDF,

 

I have been asked to design a sign for a shop front 5000  x 300 x 4mm

 

I have an image of the shop front, and a style to work from?

 

How much should I look to sell my design services for?

Would be very interested to hear from others on this? 

 

 

Thank you in advanced for any replies!

Hello Lewwy,

 

I'd say I'm pretty good, been doing freelance website design for 4-years.

Not done signage graphic design before though...

 

 

Thank you for replying.

So I think the basic formula probably goes something like this..

 

(( hourly_rate * expected_hours ) + cost_of_consumables ))

 

Alternatively, just think how much money you want to make from the project, but I assume you're asking because you're worried about a competing designer putting in a lower bid?

I will review the formula.

I'm asking mainly due to not under-charging based upon the mark up my client makes.

My client who has asked me to do the design is a 'middle-man'. 

I want to ensure I get future work from the client, but at the same time make money from the jobs that come my way.

 

Thanks,
