Pricing

I’m a beginner graphic designer building my portfolio, so my rates are intentionally accessible while still respecting the time and care that go into each project. Here’s a starting point for what I charge and how I like to work.

Flat rate projects

$20 per project

Best for focused, single-piece designs, like:

  • One poster or flyer
  • One simple social media graphic
  • One-sided business card design

You share your text, basic info, and any colors/vibes you like, and I’ll turn it into a clean, ready-to-use design.

Hourly design

$15 per hour

Best for projects that need more time, detail, or exploration, such as:

  • Multi-page layouts or brochures
  • Multiple versions or rounds of revisions
  • Custom compositions, collages, or more complex layouts

Before we start, I’ll give you a rough estimate of how many hours it might take so there are no surprises.

Custom & bundles

Let’s chat

If you’re thinking bigger than one piece, like:

  • A set of posters and matching social posts
  • Brand touchpoints (poster + card + QR sign)
  • Seasonal promos or repeated campaigns

Tell me what you have in mind and your budget range — I’m flexible and happy to work out something that feels fair for both of us.

How pricing works

I like to keep things transparent and low-stress. Here’s what usually happens when we work together.

01 · Share your idea

Tell me what it’s for, any text that has to be included, colors you like, and if you have a rough vibe or examples.

02 · Estimate & game plan

I’ll suggest flat-rate or hourly, and give a rough timeline for your first draft. If something could push price up (rush, lots of versions), I’ll flag it first.

03 · Drafts, revisions & final files

You’ll see a draft before anything is “final.” We tweak until it feels like you. Final files come as JPG/PNG and/or PDF so you can actually use them.

What’s included (and what might cost extra)

Usually included

  • One main finished design
  • A couple rounds of small edits
  • Basic sizing for print or digital
  • Final files (JPG/PNG/PDF)

Might add a little extra

  • Rush timelines
  • Lots of different versions/sizes
  • Major direction changes late
  • Complex illustration/heavy photo editing

If you’re unsure

Email me your idea and I’ll recommend pricing + time estimate and what fits your budget. kjmac1331@gmail.com
