Iam designing this A4 full colour brochure sleeve ( pocket file, its basically A3 full colour both sides and with the pocket part sticking out which fold and glues down) for this interior design company who specialise in kitchens. Any ideas on how much I should charge them ( Iam thinking about £250 )
? take into account iam based in UK and not the US.

don't sell yourself short!
ask for £350/£400 and work down if you have to!

Yep, I agree. Better to over estimate and negotiate down than realise you've sold yourself short. Do that and you'll hate the job and won't give it the design style it's due.

I'm good Jevad. Handed in my notice here at TT. Not really got anything to mover onto, thought I'd see how scraping a living will work out. Thought I'd try and break free of the corporate clutches for a while.
Howz you?

fuckin hell - ballsy!! good luck to you!
me - I sold my soul to corporate design - sony, msoft, hp stuff...dull as fuck but pays the bills!
- hUtCh0
Not sure about ballsy. I've lost my girlfriend and our flat. Thought I may as well chuck the job in whilst I was at it. Always comes in threes huh?
I'm on the 'got nothing to lose' trip at the moment. That and the proverb: It's better to look back and regret the things you did, than the things you didn't do.
Well, keeps me going anyway.
Corporate is okay. Does pay the bills. I haven't got bills anymore or a girlfriend to please. It's just me and the laptop! Good luck to you too boyo!
