I'm being paid to design the logo and interior design for a medical college
So i'll be creating a new logo for this dna research program as well as the images/colors/accents for the entire lab and office space
I've never done a project this big before so i have no idea what to charge
Have any of you done something this big for this big of a client? and what was your compensation? they are asking for a number and i don't know what's reasonable to ask for
>>
How much do you need to be comfortable for a year. Divide by 52 and charge for how many weeks it takes.
>>
>>458777
that sounds reasonable to me
but i don't really know how many weeks it will take yet, i don't have a deadline for the project to be finished either because they are building a new lab as well
so i don't know how long the construction will take and how much of that will need to happen before the designs are installed

Try to find a recent copy of the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook and supplement one of their sample contract breakdowns with rates suited to your cost of living. Tell the client what information you need for the quote.

Are you responsible for a set of working drawings?
Do you know what an "elevation" is?
They gave you the "scope", right?

You sound out of your depth, my brother, but i dont know your design talent, skill set, nor hustle factor....you want a partner?

i surf social media for businesses that i think would benefit from my products and message them telling them im a designer for hire. i also have business cards and go to businesses in the area and ask to talk to the owner and do the social media thing in person

I've only worked at one agency and it was a marketing agency. Rest of my experience has been the shitty small business freelance, or being the in-house graphic (and web dev) person.

At the marketing agency I worked at, everything was heavily siloed. I received assignments. I never saw any steps of the business side of things, how they find clients, how they negotiate with them, contracts, etc.

Non-free, proprietary software incl. non-free SaaS are a long-term liability bound only to the quarterly profit margins of the Software Vendor and Publisher(TM).

You're locked into an iOS/macOS device, a proprietary frontend for Apple Appstore(TM), the Software Vendor and Publisher(TM) pisses in your mouth while you think you're so clever.

And just like that, the program, the black box you relied on does not exist anymore, one iOS update away.

Consoomers get what they deserve.

>The word "free" in our name does not refer to price; it refers to freedom. First, the freedom to copy a program and redistribute it to your neighbors, so that they can use it as well as you. Second, the freedom to change a program, so that you can control it instead of it controlling you; for this, the source code must be made available to you.

If done well I think it's a nice addition to current digital design trends.

What gave me the idea for the thread was the redesign of https://motion.dev/ which I think would look emptier, and worse, without the subtle noise overlay.

>I think would look emptier, and worse, without the subtle noise overlay.

that is the truth, it IS literary empty and bad when a noise texture must be there on top of all the other stylistic clutter to 'save' it a.k.a. how to over-design 2 to 5 paragraphs of text and 3 links.

it also promotes obnoxious ms powerpoint style web animation that impresses no one in 2024. please prioritize accessibility, legibility, ergonomics, low external dependencies and bandwith utilization and instant load times etc instead of trying to make flash sites with javascript, at least for things that people actually (need to) use, i don't need to see choppy 20-53 fps css animations cuz some macbook tard thought if was "dope" and true artistic expression that the numbers scroll like a flip clock or something or replace mouse scrollwheel interaction with something else

here is another responsive, developer oriented website, but made around 1999 with some modest typesetting and gui navigation considerations (limited to the html of that time for better or worse) and it works and does not need wobbly crap on every scroll wheel input to teach u the subject matter with code samples still in 2024 - https://c-faq.com/

Where's the design, though? Where's the brand? Where's GSAP, Three.js, Rive, D3, where's the interactivity? Are you a lazy dev? You will not win any Awwwards without them.

I get the general sentiment, but the no-design maximalism is fucking retarded.

> please prioritize accessibility, legibility, ergonomics, low external dependencies and bandwith utilization

None of these are at odds with good design. And lack of design does not imply any of these things, as shown by your great example that shits on all of these except for maybe bandwidth.

Instead of being a rambling piece shit and trying to prove your point with an example that cares about maybe one of these things, post something actually useful or stfu. Go derail a different thread.

like every important term, this one also changed in meaning during history.
it clearly has a trajectory (momentum), as well as a state (position).

so while we are *obviously* not talking quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's idea of "uncertainty" to a degree still holds in defining this word:
as soon as we start describing its flow, we start missing the momentary *snaps* essence.
as soon as we start describing the most precise of snapshots, we miss its origin, development, and -most importantly- its future.

of course additionally the term should always be understood as describing a whole *category of things* rather than a *unified, simple, monolithic object*.
in other words are we dealing with a sort of heterogeneous hyperobject, BOTH in time AND space. so be broad but vague, or precise but local about it?
the best shot at experiencing what design is, is by experiencing it oneself.

and yet. (again) of course we all know that. because why would we otherwise keep asking this question???
maybe the good designer has to always be interested in philosophizing about it, even if it will never be ultimately answered (probably).

it simply has huge inspiration from miami vice and just the 80s in general, also yeah idk what you're fucking talking about with the "japanese cartoon" thing, in short the 1980s was the best time to be an adult with a chip on your shoulder in an amazing economy, where all companies were over the top and weren't shit quality

Feeling unproductive AF this past year. Everything I make feels like garbage, desu. Thinking of quitting in 4 months and taking a 3-month break for personal development, maybe make the switch to UI/UX after. Anyone been through a phase like this?
