Freelance Illustration question

[Jonathan]

I'm designing an illustration for a T-shirt for a corporation, and I was wondering how much I should charge? I didn't see anything in the Graphic's Handbook. Any help would be appreciated.

Just take 10$ per working hour + material costs :)

$10 DOLLARS?????, that sounds really cheap cucaracha!!!! althogh it may have to do to your location....

is it the corporation's design and you're just doing the artwork?, or is it your design....
if you're just doing the artwork, meaning art for hire, I would say try to get $25-$30 for working hour....which is what an illustrator makes an hour....probably more, depending on the experience

if it's your design, then it all depends on what corporation it is, and how many shirts they are planning on making, and I would suggest licensing the design.

another question I have is: how are you doing the illustration, and are they going to get it ready for print?...
are you already working on it?, or are you still giving them a quote?
