josephine is on a distinguished road

  Old  how much to charge for printed media

I've made some printed matterials for a company and now i don't know how much to charge for them.

I made two designs and basically all 5 things i made were from these two designs.

I made 3 A4 brochures(were in the one of them i added some prices), 1 huge poster(160cmx80cm , which took a lot of time to be made because of the size of it), and an advertisement for a newspaper( 26,3cmx5cm).

I want the price to sound quite cheap though not that cheap because i just started working on printed material,i want a friendly price

I was thinking around 200euros= it's around 240 USD but i'm not sure because it's actually the same designs just a bit changed(pictures,colors and size)


Please help!

Think about how much you would like to be paid for your work.

Think about how much they're going to profit from your work.

If in doubt, charge a healthy per-hour rate and work out how many hours were spent on the project. Things like this really should be agreed with the client before starting work though.

About being the "same designs just a bit changed." You could charge an amount for the base designs, and then less for the modifications. In the end, it's up to you really.

If I were the client, I would be more than happy to pay out 200 Euros on 3x A4 brocures, 1x huge poster and 1x newspaper advert. To me, that would be money well spent.

Cheers,
Salathe

I'd personally charge 300+ US depending upon how much time was spent on the project and with the client deciding what direction, how, when, and all those fun things.

Hourly rate is how you should work out your costs, you must also take into consideration printing expenses and what not. Don't under value your work
