Whilst projects differ and rates will vary depending on the project, my flat-rate hourly fee is £25-an-hour.

However, as I said, rates can vary.  If you’re asking me to take on a project that will only take a couple of hours, it’s £25 an hour.  If you’re asking me to work on a project that might well take several days of man-hours, my rate will obviously be amended.  In short, drop me a line and I’ll give you an estimate.

On that note, unlike some designers I never charge for estimates, and I usually won’t start charging until we have a basic design sketched out.

If you prefer a flat-fee style of charging, I’m usually pretty accommodating of that, so get in touch and I’ll give you a round figure.  Here’s some flat-fee prices for the more common work I see:

Icons

Mac 512×512 px icon: £150

On average, 512×512 pixel Mac icons are usually about 6 hours of work; some are less, some are more, so if you want a flat-fee, £150 for a full-res Mac icon is a good price!

iPhone AppStore icon 512×512 (& application icon at 57×57): £150

Again, same as a Mac icon really, except I throw in the customised iPhone icon as well.

UI Design

This one’s a little harder to quantify since every application is different, but I can give you a better estimate/price after you tell me exactly what you’re wanting.  Generally speaking though, a single “screen” mock-up in an application will take about an hour (£25), maybe more if there’s a highly unique design you’re wanting.

iPhone applications are much the same, but since applications tend to be a lot smaller, usually about £100 an application; if you’re wanting themes designed for your application, then the price will go down since a lot of the elements will be re-usable so will only need drawing once.

Other graphics such as game graphics, sprites etc. can be estimated upon demand.

Logo Design

Generally logos are also tricky to estimate a price for, given that some icons are very simple to actually draw but take a long time to get to that point.  A “flat-price” if you want one would be £250; some logos can take a lot longer than 10 hours, but equally some can take a lot less.  Once again get in touch and I can give a better indication of price.
