Any graphic designers out there?

Question

How much would you charge to design a simple bumper sticker? Any suggestions for good printers? Thanks!

Answer 1

Here is my answer to this:

Design is not a skill that can be nailed down in a set price. Each project is different and each client is different. I need to know as much about your project and you as possible to get a quote. Even with the quote, there might be issues that were unforeseen (like additional concepts, non specified size, cmyk/bw, unusable logo) that affect the overall end cost. It is very similar to house-flipping. While I can give you a ballpark, you never know when you might find some termite damage (like if your logo isn't press ready and I need to re-create it for a print piece). My main questions that I ask you for the project checklist is for your budget, deadline, audience, and previous materials for reference. My estimates are usually within 10% of the actual cost and you will be made aware if we are approaching the estimated quote. I have rates available for viewing if you contact  me directly as I do not publicly display them (due to price-fixing).

Answer 2

Depends. Do you have a set price per hour? I usually charge by the time I spend on a project and the difficulty of design. Are you designing everything from the branding on? Or does the person already have a logo or image they would like to use? Is this a corporation or a individual?

If you could add some information on the project, who it's for (or at least if it's a company or individual) how many are you needing to print? what do you yourself have to design and where you are doing this from, to know where to go and have them printed.
