Hello friends,
I need to figure out how much to charge a client of mine. I don't have my Pricing & Ethical Guidelines book handy at the moment.
It's for a national bicycle company, and I'm presenting them with three design concepts (cover, two spreads each) for their product catalog.
The project is through a design studio. I live in Seattle.
Thanks.

You're working for a design studio?

what bike company? some of these guys are notoriously cheap.
and a price for your pitches or the full catalogue design? charge hourly if the later.

How big is the catalog, and do you have to do any clipping paths on the photos? I would just make this a flat rate project, but I don't know how many pages or products. Also, can you broker out the printing for them to make a little more?
- disagree. having experience with bike catalogue design, i can tell you the edits will be endlesshorton
- why pin yourself to a flat rate? unless you're pitching a massive budget which unlikely in this case.horton
- I would make it a large flat rate price. It would just be easier for the client to digest.capn_ron

You're an Art Director, you've been a designer since 2002, you've worked with clients such as Microsoft and you don't know what to charge? I have to be honest: I'm confused.

estimated time x hourly rate + costs = fee you charge

I don't have my Pricing & Ethical Guidelines book handy at the moment. I'm totally lost without it.
- The book doesn't just tell you what to charge, you know.monospaced
