how many hours will it take you?
muliply hours by rate + a lil buffer = price
if youre new to this and your client doesnt have much money, i would charge 20 bucks an hour and add an extra 500 bucks for the trouble/phonecalls/revisions and headache.
as you go, your retainer/buffer you add on and your hourly will go up. many designers in LA easily charge 45-60 bucks an hour but they have some heavy duty portfolios to ask for that kind of hourly. i often add a couple grand on top of my hourly and the time i estimate... cos as always clients are crazy -- and it's easy to grind your teeth and keep going when you know you're getting an extra 2gs.
but dont be too crazy with pricing until you feel confortable and the client would feel like theyre getting their money's worth.
