Hello everyone!
I'm new to this thing, thought i would give it a go. It's nice to see communities like this.
So basically i graduated in 2013 studying graphic information design. Ive been interning for the past month and a half, and currently still there (my first internship). Before this internship, my sister put up an advertisement regarding myself as a freelancer and if anyone was interested then to get in contact.
Today someone got in contact regarding some invitation designs. They are a very small family business and want to expand. These cards will be catered for different occasion, such as:
Birthdays, Christening, guest books, weddings, etc.
They would like designs made for each of these categories, I have asked how many designs are needed, but as this will be an ongoing future project they will not know how much is needed; as a few months down the line they may need some designs changed etc.
This will be my first ever client as a designer, and as this is an ongoing project, this means they will be a long lasting client. I would like to do well by them and by myself.
As I am new within working in this industry, I am not too sure about what to charge. If I should charge per hour, or per design made, and if I need to draw up a contract. I would be so grateful to anyone for any sort of insight and advise. I would really really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
Regards,
Zainab
