    400$ is about 5 hours of work max. You need just the cover or a booklet and everything else? I charge around 2,000 to 3,000$ for an album.

    • My work took 10min so I'm giving it away for free.
      Do you have examples of work you've done for 2,000 to 3,000$. I'm looking to branch off into the sector.
