Approx. what do you normally charge for designing a poster say size 8.5 x 11.5? Just the design no printing.

Thanks!!

Depends on the hourly rate and the time taken. Not a huge help I realise, but it really does depend.

Working on an hourly rate of 35 pounds per hour, times your hours, plus any copyright transactions, = ?

There are other factors to consider, such as, is it a one off production?, clients budget (best to sort out before project commencement) etc...

To say it's a big ask to pin down a price is understating the problem. What's your experience? How much do you need to earn? There are lots of variables.

Thanks.

I guess I wasn't sure if I should do hourly or flat rate as it seems that most people want an estimate.

Estimate= hours worked + factors pre-considered. It's an airy fairy, up in the air way of doing it:

I could give you real world advice, but everyone's sphere of influence is separate and may not be applicable.
