Someone asked me to illustrate 4 pages for a food magazine. I was wondering how much I should charge. If I should charge a flat rate or hourly. And how much for either option
I’d charge a flat rate, not hourly.
I think I’d charge $50-175 each, but it would depend on whether they were spot illustrations or full page illustrations, and whether you’re drawing full scenes, or just an illustration of food which will take less time.
And also depends on experience…
Good luck!
its 4 spreads with no background.
What do you mean by no background? 4 Full page illustrations?
they want 4 spreads wt. pics of food without a background
Maybe $150-$200 per spread?
thanks so much!
Hi! I would suggest getting as much information about the project before giving a price because you don’t want unexpected extra work to come up after. $150-$200 per spread sounds fair.
