Artist > ART Pricing
High Roller clients
mimosatexas:
Yea, I have a set of clients who pretty much let me do whatever I want with designs and I charge them less than those designs are actually worth. Basically those are my portfolio pieces and my learning experience pieces and I am just getting paid the minimum to better myself. For the guy off the street and the school/nonprofit/government jobs I just do whatever is quick and looks solid and keeps it cheap. I do have some clothing brand type client who keep thing interesting but they often provide nearly completed seps and have everything nailed down artwise.

Artwork is it's own revenue stream if you work it right.

Like Dave, we are in different markets. Since have our own apparel lines, obviously we design our own merch and that's a built in cost. For the faith based side of the biz, more and more is customer supplied. We just clean it up as needed. However we have amassed an enormous amount of templates and techniques which can quickly slap together. Usually NC unless they want to look at different concepts. Then its on a case by case basis. For outsourced high end seps we pass that on with a little mark up

Reading thru some of what you guys have posted I can see where a full time artist on board could be a plus rather than having a freelance artist who charges by the piece. If I didn't have to do the art myself i would go the route of not charging for art but still would build some money for it in my pricing.

Here in Techlandia it's rare that we get an order that doesn't already have vector art with Pantones called out and fonts outlined.
Seriously.
