]]> Comment on AOI Report: Illustration Fees and Standards of Pricing by George Coghill http://georgecoghill.com/blog/2009/01/07/illustration-fees-standards-pricing/comment-page-1/#comment-157121 George Coghill Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:12:52 +0000 http://georgecoghill.com/blog/?p=1505#comment-157121 Dom, I don't currently do much work for children's publishing, but the pricing seems low to me. A good rule of thumb is to figure out what you want your hourly rate to be, estimate how long the artwork will take, and use that as your flat-fee. Keep in mind other considerations like copyright buyout, size/scope of the usage of your illustrations, and the size of the client. Your level of skill and the extent of your experience and/or recognition in the industry also play a factor. I would suggest getting a copy of the <a href="http://is.gd/9a1SG" rel="nofollow">Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook to Pricing & Ethical Guidelines</a> as a reference starting point. Dom,
