what would be a reasonable price for a typography based illustration for an album cover?
ie - an elaborate rendition of a bands name
(for an independent - low budget)

Set a number of hours you know it would take to complete something worth paying for. Multiply that number of hours by a rate that is appropriate for your experience level.

giving him the a high quote could end up with you losing your left hand

if its really small.. like $300-500 and hopefully no client hasstle.. if the band is signed or sucessful i'd say.. around $800-$1200 for an indie. Celine dion? $10,000 for buyout.
