Family and friends: Can they also be your clients?
Saturday, September 29th, 2007This is a very tricky question. Because as a professional designer you want to take advantage of any professional opportunity that comes in your way to increase your dossier. Plus you want to help your friends or relatives to have professional success through the elaboration of a good corporate image, fliers, banners, etc. There are indeed some questions that need to be answered before you accept this type of proposition, as indicated in Graphicdefine.org.

I think this is a very hard question for every designer. Simply because there is no standard pricing for this, everyone will charge what they think is just fair. Sometimes even, there is a certain moment in the development process when we think that the design was too extend to complete and the downpayment to low.
One of the greatest advantages that comes with been a freelance designer is the simple fact that you can stay home and work. Saying good-bye to the traffic jams, you won’t have to wake up 2 hours before your shift, you could even take a nap along with many other commodities you could have by working at home.
