Did I charge too much?

A client recently approached me about redoing a company illustration for them. Basicaly they lost all original versions of the image so they needed it redrawn with electronic versions.

I'm NOT a graphics designer, I can't draw for crap, so I had to outsource it to a friend that I thought could use the money. She agreed to do it for $80, this includes digitization and spotting.

So I sent out a proposal for $150, my cut for... uh for taxes and my time 😉

so $150 in all.

The image will be used for advertising in publications and newsletters.
 
Not too high. I've seen some graphics cost $200+. If they don't want to pay for it, they can go somewhere else. 😉
 
$150?
Only if it would take 1/2 a day to complete.
More like $300 for me to deal with their problem.

Did they pay you? Then no, it wasn't too much.

I just wrote out the proposal. no work has been done yet. But the picture is fairly simple and I have high confidence in my friend. She's got a graphics design degree 🙂

Considering NBC is reputed to have paid 4 million dollars for ther logo, NO.
 
artwork ain't cheap. just look at how much people charge to create logos.
If the company was cool with $150, you could have gotten more 😉
