| This is why I charge by the hour. The more work that clients off-load to me, the more indecisive, ill-prepared, and lousy at communication they are, the more money I make. I usually only work on bids when I know the client and how much maintenance they are, or I’m desperate for work. I tell first time clients that since I don’t know about their maintenance or work habits, my bid is 3 or 4X what I think the job will actually take. I tell them it’s more in their interest to get organized and pay me by the hour. - I’m sure you know about brandsoftheworld dot com. When I need a logo, and the client is clueless about vectors, I will mine their web site for PDFs, as about half the time, a vector logo is embedded in an annual report, job app, or press release. But, I’ve also done a fair share of reverse engineering from a low res web banner.
