My graphic design company gets requests from freelance designers frequently about advice on how much to charge for design jobs. Accurately bidding on design jobs is easily the hardest part of this business. I’ve been doing this for quite some time now with what I consider to be pretty good success. Bidding on jobs gets easier the more you do it, because with each prospective client you get a little better at feeling out their individual needs. Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule that can be used over and over again. You’re not going to get every job you bid on and you probably don’t want to. However, no designer can afford to spend large amounts of time putting together proposals that don’t get accepted. I’m sure any freelance graphic designer with a mortgage can verify this. Sure, part of accurately bidding on design jobs comes from experience but there are some things you can do to help streamline your bidding process to weed out time wasters and land more legitimate clients.
The first thing you should do is know what the other advertising agencies, design companies and freelance designers in your area are charging so that you can establish a guideline for what is a fair and acceptable hourly rate or flat fee. You don’t want to charge too much but you don’t want to be known as the cheapest in town either. I would personally rather bid too high than too low.
When you speak with a client about a new job make sure that you get as much information from them as possible. From this information you should be able to ballpark the time involved based on previous projects. Yes, I know every job is different, but at least this gives you a place to start. It’s been my experience that the majority of clients want to know a hard cost for the finished work and not an hourly rate. Sometimes an hourly rate can even scare potential clients off simply because it’s too open ended. To bid a flat rate effectively, set an hourly rate for yourself based on what is competitive to your area while allowing you to operate your business profitably. Compare your hourly rate to the actual time spent on a flat rate proposal for a good way to know if you’re profitable in the jobs you’re bidding.
One thing that I do that really helps land a job is to determine price ranges for specific types of jobs like; logo design, post cards, basic website design, e-commerce sites, etc. I’ve found this to be useful on two levels. First, I have established a slight buffer for myself when working on the project. Second, I have found potential clients to be more receptive of a price scale, because they feel like you are open to working with them on getting them to that lower end of the scale. This, of course, is entirely up to the client and how they affect the flow of the project and approval process.
The key to coming up with a reasonable price scale is to use the information that the client provides you about the job. This information will help determine where they may fall in your price range. Use your own design experience to help determine the potential hours that may go into a job. For instance, a client wants you to bid on a logo, letterhead, envelope and business card design package. This could take you anywhere from 6 to 16 hours depending on the client and complexity of the job. So, you estimate the job at 16 hours and a rate of, we’ll say $65 an hour, which equals $1,040. Hourly rates and design fees are going to vary from state to state and location to location, but here’s what your client proposal may look like;
Example: Company Logo / Identity: $800 – $1,200
Work Flow: • Will provide at least 2-3 initial directions for your logo and letterhead system and work chosen direction to your satisfaction. • Will proceed with development after verbal or written approval on directions. • Concepts will be presented via email and / or other specified method. • You can expect to see initial directions within 2 weeks. • If major changes or reworks are requested after an approval design is subject to hourly rate of $65 per hour. • Art will be provided to you in print ready format (Set up for print production) *If you choose to proceed with us our payment terms are 50% deposit to start and 50% upon completion.
You will notice that I threw in some extra information in that example. I like to make sure that I’ve covered all of my bases just incase a project does take longer than expected. It’s been known to happen. I always write my proposals in contract form and have the client sign two copies when beginning a project. One for me and one for the client. At that time I collect a non-refundable 50% deposit. I recommend that every graphic designer implements a policy of retaining a deposit to begin work. You will find this useful if for some reason a client backs out of the project or drags the project on longer than expected. That has also been known to happen. The other point that can come in handy is stipulating that reworks after approvals or unending revisions will be billed at an hourly rate. Sometimes you will get a client who wants work done beyond the scope of a project. You should make sure that you’re covered in that event too. I would go to my hourly rate for all work provided above and beyond the scope of the project.
Here are a few more examples for your reference only (based on a $65 per hour rate). Remember these are guidelines to help you. You should evaluate each client and the information your client provides to determine your own price estimate structure. These examples are estimates on design work only. I suggest providing a separate estimate for printing if you are providing printing services.
1) Logo Design Price Scale: $350 – $800 • Price scale reflects amount of conceptual design, type of illustration and detail of illustration used.
2) Tri-fold Brochure Price Scale: $650 – $1,000 • Text and images provided by client.
3) Post Card: $175 – $350
4) Basic Website Design: $850 – $1,800 - Site could include: - 4-15 page site with CSS Optimized for Search Engines - Contact Form - Stock Photography - Simple Content Management System - Populate site content from “text” information provided by client - Please visit our blog at www.pixelproductionsinc.com/blog to view our article about using a website design contract.
Like many things the key to an effective estimate is to be clear! Specify a fair price and include the services you are going to provide. This could be anything from stating that you will provide 2 to 3 initial directions to your time frame and terms of payment. Be specific! The less questions you leave your client with, the more professional you appear and the greater the chance of securing the job at a price that works for both of you.
Many officials and economists around the world claim that in spring 2009 the global economy passed the critical test for what lies ahead. Although, nobody can guarantee with certainty that the recession is over many believe that the economy showed glimpses of recovery. The stable and in some cases increasing prices in the housing market, the latest rally in the stock markets in Europe, Asia and the US are some of the reasons to be more optimistic for the future.
Nevertheless, both Ben Bernanke, the president of the Federal Reserve in the US and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of IMF, claimed that the situation is still fragile and the recovery will be slow. With plans to inject even more money into troubled companies and sectors (the so called “statistical easiness”) it is almost certain that it will take longer than initially thought for economies to fully recover. In the UK, the Governor of the Bank of England Mervin King is under new pressures to print more money as GDP slumps again.
One of the sectors mainly affected by the recent developments in the economy is the labour market. The unemployment index has reached record levels in the UK and Europe and predictions are less promising for 2010. Latest data from the British Chambers of Commerce economic survey indicate that the UK recession is still very serious and that unemployment can be expected to grow rapidly in 2009 and 2010. So which job sectors can be considered “safe” and how the economic situation will affect the jobs market? We will analyse in this article the top 5 best performing public job sectors and which the safest career choices are at a time of economic slowdown. Are you safe in your existing job or do you welcome the opportunity to try something new?
This is a list (in no particular order) of the top 5 best performing public job sectors according to Public Jobs Direct. The analysis refers to the sector as a whole and presents future plans that strengthen will their performance.
Education
Latest figure show that the education sector is still going strong and for certain disciplines such as science teachers the situation is even more promising. With shortages for such skills across the majority of schools in the UK the demand for teachers is on the increase. The new plans of the government to invest in building more schools also gives a boost in the employment activity for this sector.
Health and Social Care
Similar to education health and social care seems to be a “recession-proof” sector. The government in an effort to reduce unemployment is not adopting job cutting practices in this sector and on the contrary continues to hire new personnel. Doctors, administrative staff and social care workers are still high in demand. The social care reform plan than was launched in early 2008 outlines the roadmap to help councils redesign and reshape their services and systems over the next 3 years.
Public Transport
Public spending on infrastructure is one of the popular measures governments adopt in order to stimulate the economy in situations such as a recession. Investing in public transport development helps both the employment market and at the same time improves the local communities. With the 2012 Olympics just 3 years away the government is planning to invest in certain infrastructure improvements such are trains and busses. Moreover a £1bn plan to electrify the main rail route between London and Swansea has been announced by the government.
Renewable Energy
This is another sector where the government is planning to invest heavily in the next few years. The prime minister unveiled that the plan is “to build up Britain’s clean power supply in order to reach the EU-imposed target of producing 15% of the country’s energy from renewable sources by 2020”. With a total investment that exceeds £100 billion the estimate is that the renewable energy programme would generate around 160,000 jobs.
IT
Despite some major job losses in the short term mainly in the financial sector, the IT sector is proving quite resistant in the mid to long term. After all, we live in a technology driven world. Many companies have the standard practice of cutting jobs in the IT infrastructure and outsource their operation in the short terms. But the demand for highly technical and skilled professionals drives the market. Companies will usually invest in new projects and systems (both software and hardware) in order prepare their in-house operations for the “day after the recession”. The demand for talented software designers and developers is currently growing and there seems to be an increasing trend for the next 4 years.

With London playing host for the 2012 World Olympic Games, preparation is on in full swing to ensure all the required infrastructure is in place within the next three years. This has led to a multifold increase in the number of construction jobs in London. Excluding the construction of the Olympic Park and Olympic Village, there are many more prestigious construction projects that are underway in this renowned city.
There are jobs that range from construction engineer to electrical project manager to safety advisor and skilled labor. In short, there are construction jobs available for anyone who is interested in working in this field. By the year 2012, there will be a need for 30,000 construction workers just to build the infrastructure needed for the Olympic Games. Added to this, there is a proposed plan to construct a third runway at Heathrow Airport in London which is among the world’s busiest airports in terms of air and passenger traffic. This again will add to the requirement for construction workers.
Good news in terms of the construction sector in London is that the Councilors at Barnet have given their approval to the renovation project to the tune of 4.5 billion pounds. This will lead to the construction of close to 7500 homes in Brent Cross which is in Cricklewood. Mike Freer, the person who leads the Barnet council, applauded the move saying that this will create close to 27,000 jobs opportunities in the construction sector in London. The proposal includes the construction of a new train station, town center for the north western region of London and also road improvements. So, the future of construction jobs in London is far from bottoming out soon.
This is the perfect chance for people from all over the place who have been waiting for ages to find a job in London and move to the city. Every person, who has the right potential, caliber, qualification and experience, will surely be given consideration.
The construction jobs in London don’t seem to cease any time soon. There is another piece of information that will prove to be pleasing to the ears of people looking to apply for these jobs in the city. As per the report from the National Building Housing Council (NBHC), there were 9000 construction jobs that were filling in the year 2009 till date and there will be a further need for 4000 to take on various job roles in the construction sector.
New statistical data unveil the fact that the number of construction jobs in the city have reached the peak since July 2008. The north eastern part of London also has something good to contribute to this sector because the NHBC reports say that the number of houses being constructed in this region has seen a whopping 300% jump this year as compared to the same time last year.
With all this and more, there can be no dearth for people. Most of the jobs also offer good monetary compensation and health benefits also. So, think no more. If you are planning o move, then, this is the right time.
The effect of the worldwide financial crisis on the UK has led to the massive loss of jobs and shutdown of several small to major companies.

Men at work are dressing up to beat the credit crunch Bespoke tailors report increased sales and there is a feeling that being causal at work translates to casual in your job. The Hedge Fund Dress Down Friday look, has largely been replaced with a return to formal suits and shirts, this is an easy uniform to adopt.
For Women the work arena presents a unique set of challenges, how to look professional whilst retaining feminity is hard. Many City Women in Financial Institutions choose pin striped suits and tailored shirts from men’s tailors to fit in within a masculine environment. The right outfit could be the difference between climbing the career ladder and losing your job. Many women struggle to know what is acceptable at work.
The City Accountancy Firm Ernst and Young have just put 400 women on a course to develop their work look. The firm was concerned that many women are too casually dressed and did not look professional enough. First impressions count, people make decisions on us in the first 30 seconds. You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
A skirt suit works really well in any work environment providing the skirt is not too tight. In a more casual workplace separates, skirt and coloured jacket look great too. A dress and jacket also looks good providing the dress is smart enough and not too tight or too short. Think elegance here. Sweater dresses cut to knee length with a toning jacket is another great look for more casual workplaces.
Avoid cleavage displays, midriff tops, informal clothing such as T shirts, beach sandals, and loud “bling” jewellery. Grooming is important, hair should be well cut, clean and not extreme in colour or cuts. Make up should be discrete, wearing makeup has been shown to increase your chances of promotion just don’t overdo it.
Colour is really important too, choose colours that flatter depending on your colouring. Traditional work colours are black (chic), navy (trustworthy), red (dynamic, aggressive), grey (conservative). To venture into hot pinks, oranges and wild prints is far riskier and after all it is your career on the line.
Look at yourself in a long mirror before leaving the house, check clothes are ironed, that there are no ladders in your tights, check shoes are not very high, or are scuffed. Invest in good quality suits and coats and aim to keep them for several years. Beware of buying cheap clothing, cheaper fabrics and cheap jewellery or wearing old fashioned or worn out clothes. If you aspire to be promoted look as if you mean business and are a competent, confident professional. Clothing sends out very powerful messages about who we are, so dress to make a positive impression, dressing for success is a necessary precursor to obtaining it.
Learn what your colour palette is and what styles suit you. If you don’t know use a personal stylist and find out the best colours to bring out the best in your skin tone and hair colour. Summer brings more challenges, women should ideally buy a smart summer work wardrobe of tailored dresses that will compete effectively with the men sweltering in suits. Invest in a few key outfits that will last a couple of years, linen shift dresses look great, as do linen mix suits providing they are crumple proof.
Dressing to impress in the current economic climate should be seen as an essential strategy to getting and keeping your dream job.
Finding a graduate job in London is particularly challenging. The competition is extremely fierce but as the cost of living is generally far higher, you can’t afford to offer your services at a particularly competitive price. How can you succeed in finding the perfect graduate job?
The answer, as for most competitive marketplaces, is to accept that you may have to accept a lower wage to get your foot in the door. Once you’ve shown the Company what you can do, then you are in a better position to negotiate over your salary, but until then, you are just one of many faceless applicants looking for a graduate job, likely with no experience and similar qualifications to your contemporaries.
When you apply for graduate jobs in London, therefore, you may want to pitch your starting salary at a lower rate than the usual market rate. Another tactic is to apply for a job in the Company that is not the job you want. For example, if you have a law degree, you could apply for a job as a legal secretary (assuming you have some typing skills). Not only will you gain valuable work experience but you’ll also have the opportunity to show what you can do, and it is a known fact that companies prefer to promote from within – you have your foot in the door and can apply for a better position as and when the opportunity arises.
So how do you support yourself if your graduate job doesn’t pay as well as you need it to? The answer may be to do some freelance work for another company. This may mean devoting 2-3 hours of your social time to finding and completing freelance writing jobs but they generally pay better than ordinary jobs and if you work for a reputable company, you’ll have the chance to establish yourself and command higher rates of pay. One such company is Academic Knowledge, a UK based research house established in 2003, currently recruiting for graduate writers in all disciplines.
Food and drink is the second largest manufacturing sector in London. It is also the manufacturing sector which has performed the best in the capital over the last five years. West London Business says that 10 per cent of all London jobs are linked to the food and drink sector in some way.
According to a mapping study of the capital’s food and drink production industry funded by the European Union, there are 870 businesses in London’s food and drink supply chain with a total estimated turnover of £3.3 billion. The same research also suggested that 94 per cent of the businesses in the sector are small and medium-sized enterprises with a turnover of less than £1 million each.
There are thousands of restaurants in the capital and thousands of food and drink outlets. West London Business estimates that eating out contributes £8 billion a year to London’s economy.
Different parts of London are famous for different kinds of food and drink.
West London has been a magnet for businesses in the food and drink sector for 80 years. According to West London Business, the local chamber of commerce, the sector employs 15,000 people in the area. There are 140 businesses involved in the food industry on the Park Royal Industrial Estate alone, employing 6,000 people. One of these is the recently opened Park Royal Food Innovation Centre, which supports the development of London’s small and medium-sized food and drink enterprises.
Sugar production has a long tradition in East London. Today, Tate & Lyle, with its Silvertown works, is the only cane sugar refiner in the UK. East London also has a strong brewing tradition. The Black Eagle brewery at 91 Brick Lane produced beer until 1989, the Albion brewery until 1959 and the Anchor Brewery in Mile End road until 1975. These days, East London is better known for its curry restaurants, particularly along Brick Lane.
North London is the chosen location for many small businesses active in food and drink processing. Enfield provides the home for London’s only flour mill, G. R. Wright & Sons, at Ponders End. North London Business, the local chamber of commerce, helps small and medium-sized enterprises in the area to network, meet new contacts and do business with each other through North London Food Linx.
South London is the base for a number of innovative businesses, such as Lambeth-based Today Was Fun, a supplier of organic teas. The company, founded by Sharyn Wortman, increased its international sales approximately ten-fold between 2005 and the end of 2007 and won the Best Newcomer award in UK Trade & Investment’s 2008 London Passport to Export Awards.
London Mayor Boris Johnson recently called on food businesses in London to step up efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. This followed the publication of a report commissioned by the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency that found Londoners’ eating habits to be responsible for more greenhouse gases each year than the entire national output of Estonia.
The sector is responding. The vast majority of London’s food and drink production companies service local retailers and food services. Only a small proportion supply national retailers. One ‘green’ food business is Lambeth-based Today Was Fun, whose green tea was the first carbon neutral tea. That’s according to the CarbonNeutral Company, which carries out a simple calculation to establish how much carbon is produced in making and transporting the tea. The business neutralises its impact on the environment by buying carbon credits to cover emissions.
Part of the aim of the Park Royal Food Innovation Centre in West London is to promote sustainable local food and drink production. The centre, which opened in October 2009, acts as a hub for food processing companies in London, helping them to achieve growth by providing a range of specialist services which will encourage them to innovate in terms of new products, processes, packaging, healthy eating and sustainability.
Saving water is a big issue for London’s food and drink businesses. According to the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), the UK food and drink industry takes 430,000 cubic metres from the public water supply every day, accounting for approximately 10 per cent of all industrial use. It also takes about a tenth of all water abstracted from rivers and other water courses. This amounts to another 260,000 cubic metres a day.
