Not to go off topic, but what I find determining how much to charge a client as of late is the current state of the market. Meaning, right now where I am, this area is FLOODED with young designers fresh out of school that will work for next to nothing. If a client happens to pick up a feeelancer that does decent work and charges 20 bucks an hour, are they ever gonna use the guy who charges 75/hr anymore? Are they going to compare every rate to the 20/hr rate Johnny College was charging...of course they are. I have a friend at an interactive firm who told me they now farm all their flash work out of the Ukraine, and they work for pennies on the dollar. use your judgment, if you talk to a client and they're the kind of "shoot from the hip" sales-guy character, theyre gonna try and eff with you, if they know what theyre doing and understand design they'll usually give you what you ask for.
