I'm not sure if ther'es been a topic on this and I know everyone charges differently, but is there any other source out there besides the Graphic Artist's Guild Pricing and Guidelines? I paged through that and it seemed like everything was for large campaigns for large companies (everything around $50k, etc).
I'm looking for small-scale stuff for small-scale clients to kind of streamline my pricing without cheapening design and what it provides.

work out an hourly rate that suits you and the area you are in, judge projects by amount of time thye expect to take (including client alts/ammends. There is your cost. Dont forget to charge according to whether you are paying for a studio, bear in mind equipment renewal, rates etc etc.. This gives you a basis, then you can tweak if you feel the client is smaller scale.
I guess.

yeah... i kind of got that picture, but didn't know if there were any "standards".... more or less, i wouldn't want to make less than i possibly could.

If I remember right that book has different levels, things for small businesses too. Anyway, rasko4 is right.
you charge what makes you happy. Then it doesn't matter what anyone else is doing right?
Usually if I think I'm chargong too much, later I fnd that I'm not.
