In the end, i still think it is most important that you find yourself valuable after every each project and there you find your true value. But i strongly agree that designers nowadays are really valued less than their tag price and expected more like a bargained goods. here i see myself far behind…having to encounter different sort of clients, some who values quality and gives a good price to designs and many who values their cash more than designs, but requires more and some are willing to even risk their design for the price they have in mind.

How much to charge a client when you're first starting out as a freelancer... Can someone help me out? In this particular case I need to give a quote on a 24 page layout.. I would really appreciate any tip. Please and thank you!

A lot of people I've come in contact with have also underestimated graphic designers. For some reason people think everyone can design and that really reduces the value of our profession. I find that it's really important, when starting a new project, to educate clients on the importance of design, the process that goes into it, etc, and start breaking that belief that they have that design is easy and that we just "throw things together"...and on top of it, we enjoy it...so it should be cheap. Honestly, if it gets to a point with a client where they're blatantly think they know better and can't respect my experience and expertise, I'd rather drop the project.
