Bonjour everyone! My very first post. I need your expertise and would be MOST grateful for it. I dearly hope this is the right forum.
Rather out of the blue, I’ve been asked to design a label or labels for a Fairly Famous person in the US (I’m Welsh-Canadian but currently living in Paris). While I’m an experienced illustrator (my niche being digital collage using vintage public domain images, and paper scraps found at flea markets, sometimes a bit of hand-drawing), and have designed posters, graphics, and programmes for theatre groups and the like, this is new to me. No idea what to charge.
I would design five ‘a gift from’ labels which will go on the bottom of a household object she makes, at the moment just for friends and family. I imagine my price might be different if she decides to go commercial, as she’s being encouraged to do. I’m also thinking of suggesting that I make designs she can use on these decoupaged objects, as she can’t keep using the giftwrap paper she uses now if she goes commercial. I’m usually a believer in the ‘exposure is rip-off BS‘ thing, but in this case it might be different because Hollywood.
Any thoughts? Halp
