How is mural coming along?
Hi Karin,
I just came across your post about this mural and wondered how it was coming along? I think Timothy's idea about charging a design fee is an excellent idea.
I used to work for a graphic design company, then did graphic design on my own for a couple of years, and hours and hours of my time went into designing logos, letterheads and brochures. It always took at least three meetings with the client before a final design was agreed upon, and that was just for a simple logo or letterhead. I can't imagine how many hours you might spent designing/laying out a mural. This was 10 years ago and I was living in a small town in California charging $60 an hour for design time, when I moved to Houston the going rate was $90 an hour. Prices have probably doubled since then. (Hmm, now I'm wondering why I ever got out of that business!)
Just thought I would add my two cents worth since I've had some experience with design processes. I look forward to seeing more posts on your latest project!
