  on our usual base rate that's £540 (assuming a 'day' is 6 hrs)
  Sounds fair, but I doubt he'll pay that.
  :(

  72dpi screen grabs are fine to print. Don't upscale them at all (in indesign or photoshop). Just make it CMYK, away you go. Done it loads of times. They don't look pixelated.

  Are you laying out the pages in the brochure as well or is someone else doing that? Are you artworking it? If so then it's a separate job I would say 2 days work.

  BTW the link to Internet Essentials Ltd is dead

  Ask him how he wants to use it - does he just want a screen shot to show what the site looks like?
  Or does he want his brochure to look like the site?

  If the first, then I would just take a screen shot and send it, no charge.

  If not, explain to him and charge him what it would take to design a brochure (not much, I'd guess, given the simplicity of the site - you'd just be moving stuff around).

  Either way, it doesn't look like it'd take long.

  Sorry, there's a bit of confusion.

  The brochure has been done, he just wants to change the cover.

  He doesn't want a screen shot of the browser window. He wants me to supply all elements of the illustration so the printer can do him a layout for his front cover (yes, the printer...)

  All illustration elements have been made in illy and bitmaps are available in high res.
