This is exactly why I think its weird that designers are charging upfront, I don't think there is a legitimate way to estimate how much time a project is going to take upfront since there will be a lot of iterations and changes and we may not agree on how it should be done.
It would be much easier to pay for hours worked than to have to request a refund on the extra left over if we decided to part ways or anything like that.
- anigbrowl 14y agoHaving worked in the arts, my experience is that many people - especially first-time buyers and even with the arts industry - don't really appreciate the economics of creative work and tend to undervalue it. If you don't assert a fairly stiff price tag up front people will try and beat your fee down later. The deposit is a way of getting people to put their money where their mouth is. I would be a richer man if I had figured out this trick earlier in my film career :-)
