Q Manning for hire

bleutuna · May 31, 2004, 7:08pm

Seven year veteran of the design community is actively pursuing freelance graphic design work - web, flash, or print - as I take the summer off from school. I am capable of working full-time for any client, depending on the pay rate, and typically have a fast turn around time whenever applicable.

My experience is extensive and my rates are reasonable. Preferred methodology is to learn of a clients needs, spec out the number of hours I feel necessary, and then charge that rate. If regular work requires me to go over the specified number of hours, clients are not charged additional monies.

It is not unusual for me to charge for a 12 hour job and work more than 48 hours on the project.

Logo work is $500. Logo, letterhead, envelope & business card design is $850. Corporate package, includling logo, letterhead, envelope, business card & corporate branding guide is $1000 even.

Web work is typically billed at $45 for Photoshop/HTML work, $55 for Flash/ASP work. My contact information and resume details are below, as well as additional work not currently available in my online portfolio.
