    We've wondered quite a way off topic I think, so to address the OP's question:

I had to turn one down as I was worried I wouldn't be up to the job (cowardly I know but I do it in my not so spare, spare time and didn't feel I could have it done quick enough and to a high enough standard) The people that come to me freinds, family of freinds etc. I have no idea what to charge though. I feel bad for charging too as Im not professional yet and there is still so much I dont know.

    So what do you professionals and those not so professionals think?

    Obviously, a professional fee can be demanded by a professional with the relevant industry experience so as a student of a profession I see no reason why you couldn't request a negligible fee for producing design work as long as you're doing it correctly (eg, correct colour profiles, proper file formats, not stealing google images etc..). If you worry about "being good enough" why not speak to one of your college/uni lecturers for advice on your work in general and get their feedback on where they think you could improve.

    If I could give you one tip... it would be wear sun screen.. :icon_lol:

    definitely charge

    Hi guys,

    I am a card designer and my experience has taught me one thing!

    NEVER DO SOMETHING FOR FREE!

    I used to do it when younger but nobody appreciates what is free. when I started charging, the number of my clients increased dramatically..

    This is my personal experience..
