My rate is $40.00 per hour for graphic design, desktop publishing and illustration.
(one hour is the minimum time price)

Larger projects such as catalogs, brochures or specialty art can always be negotiated for a flat price.

No profits are derived from service bureaus, all printing process/production costs are upfront and listed on client invoices.
In addition, I encourage clients to browse printer websites to discover pricing/shipping costs.

As noted before, most jobs require a security deposit prior to starting projects. Long term clients do not need deposits as long
as bills are paid in a timely manner.

Whomever said nothing is for free never stepped outside to admire a windy day.
