I'd be curious to know if there are any design freelancers that do infographics, and what they charge... We've had trouble finding great infographic designers that don't take a lot of time to manage, and I'm wondering if we should be paying more. If interested in that or doing UI/UX stuff, check us out http://feefighters.com http://feefighters.com and drop me a note EDIT - looks like people are interested! job posting for fulltime UI/UX here : http://feefighters.com/jobs/ui-designer-developer/ http://feefighters.com/jobs/ui-designer-developer/ and Freelance infographic posting here: http://www.genuinejobs.com/jobs_detail.php?id=5606 http://www.genuinejobs.com/jobs_detail.php?id=5606 (but just drop an email to josh@feefighters.com instead of responding to this one)

Will send you an e-mail but wanted to post this here as others might find it useful as well. I charge $75 per hour for UI/UX design work, meaning wireframe mockups, full-fledged Photoshop mockups and XHTML/CSS/JS conversion. It may be low considered to some standards (San Fran) but I'd rather increase my rate slowly while building a bigger clientele base than risk charging too much and not having enough work. For those curious about the workflow, I use: * Google Docs to create a spreadsheet with all project research/notes that is shared with client * MockFlow to handle wireframe mockups, as it also allows me to easily share them with the client AND is cheap (I think $70 per year?) * Photoshop and Illustrator to create the main mockups for each of the major pages/sections of the site I also tend to shy away from logo design, as for me it is not worth the time and effort for the pay - instead I suggest to my clients that they use a service like 99Designs or Brandstack.

I actually am an information graphics guy - classically trained in the hard-scrabble world of print journalism, but I'm now refining my interaction design skills at an enterprise UX organization. I just sent you an E-mail via Hacker News Users :)
