or you charge a client 2000 and hire the 150 guy to do it for you.

$300 for a 6pg cd package? There is no excuse for such low pricing unless you are an 17 year old rock-n-roll fan with no experience.

What are you planning to do for it? Images cost money, shooting photos takes time, illustrations take time etc etc. Designing a CD is usually more than just a simple layout job.
And $75-$100 dollars is a joke, unless you're still at school.

i have a huge problem with low-balling like this, even for newbies. its dragging the industry down to the lowest of lows. $75-$100 is ridiculous.. how many hours were you planning to put into the project? all said and done (remember client approvals, dealing with printers, etc) i doubt it'll be less than 10hrs, which equates to almost minimum wage. also consider as the designer you are partly responsible for what comes off the press, and this responsibility comes at a price.
have some respect for your time and skills.. even for a buddy i wouldn't go less than $500.

- jakeyj0
seriously?
i was going to say like 75-100USD
hmm - might have to reconsider

depends on how much experience you have, how much you want something in your portfolio and how much creative freedom you have with the project. sounds to me if you are asking what to charge and especially since you were thinking 75 - 100 then you might want to stick with that. Get the experience and try to get a decent portfolio peice out of the deal.

1500-3000 is like the industry standard
but i figure like whatever floats your boat...
and i hate people that say things like
"you're fuckin up the industry charging 75-100"
shut the fuck up
a person can charge what they want, even if its madd low
yall act like every one's wearin gucci sandals and tight fittin dior sweater's w/ pink dk scarfs...
