true you could go higher, 400 per day is 100k per year, i'm not sure of the skill level of the designer nor the market, like ny vs. austin, the prices you could charge would be a huge difference... if the person is on the lower end of design i would try for at least 2,500 per week, agencies try to charge about 5k per week per employee, depending, but this looks like a smaller operation, meaning it's not Chevron or Ms. Bairds, so in this instance i don't believe the Graphic Arts Price Guild prices will hold up. So i say play it by ear, and based on your relationship with the client how far they can be "pushed" or if you can build a good relation$hip with them. There are many factors to consider, but a few things for sure to have on your side; a contract, fair pricing, smokin creative, sticking to the timeline contracted for-and if they have scope creep, be ready to make a change order if they ask for more than contracted for, yet another way you can finish out the project with more more monies and a job well done.
good luck...
