hi guys
I'm getting an offer for desinging a 40 a4 page magazine mostly in black and white, minimum 8 pages in color... 4 page cover and back cover, 4 pages inside.

Work is involved scanning, some artwork, and probably some small design for certain ads... it is in Persian Language and I can read it so no problem with that.

going to do it in Indesign CS2, illustrator and photoshop.

How much should I reply for the price? mean I just want to know the fair market price.


Thanks

are you a student?

how long have you been in the field?

are your works equivalent to the international print magazines?

these questions should help you find your own suitable pricing..

thanks for the reply.
I'm not student and doing this work since 1999 only as a part time work, however never done this in Malaysia so not familiar with prices in here

well, u can always quote by working day, lets say u need 7 days to get it done, and yr daily salary is $500, total up u can get a $3.5k for that particular job.

thanks, but I want to know the average pricing for such job... because I may finish very slow or very fast...

1st U need to study the end-user background..........I mean if they are a money making then u can charge high..........else u just have to adapt to their budget..........some more be careful........on the collection when the designs are ready.........COD...My Bro in law kena tipu a few times..........design work done.........but no payment........

If you've been doing this quite regularly part time, you could try charging RM50-RM100 per hour with a casual 9 hour working day limit or something.

There isn't an average price because students go about the price war even fiercer than companies. I think any company will make easily 5-10k for a print job like this.

fair advice, thanks
