    I don't normally do day rates for design work (either hourly or project), I see day rates alot with photographers, models, etc.

    If the client wants a day rate, then I would assume he's got a doozy in store for you & he'll be expecting you to be working all day/night. I'd do your hourly rate x 10 hours (maybe 12). Like Soler said, be very specific as to how many hours a "day rate" entails & that you will bill on top of the day rate if you exceed that limit....the client may think he's got you on call for 24 hours if he's paying a day rate.
