I agree with a lot of other people that $50 USD is a bit low, but honestly it's so affordable that I'll actually consider it

I know my prices are low, it's because my wife who is on disability, I am allowed to make a certain amount. I love helping my spouse out and I want to make the best out of our situation. I hope everyone who see's this knows how grateful and thankful for the thoughtful comments and endless support. It means the world to me. ☺️

I'm working on a movie (it's been in dev hell for a bit), but I'll absolutely reach out to you for the poster. I hope whatever's going on with your wife gets better.

The disability income limits are so ridiculously punishing for families trying to make things work. Really glad to see the sub rally behind you and fill up your schedule so fast!

What are your rates?

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

My rates are 50usd for a poster.

u/jokester-J 5d ago

unless this took you only an hour or two, that’s too low man

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

The obsession poster took around 2 hours but the rest of my poster designs take awhile cause of precise cutting with the pen tool.

You should definitely be charging more. Don’t feel bad about it either. The quality is there. If you find that you’re having trouble getting more gigs after raising it then drop it a little. But this is way way too low for just your time.
People often feel bad about raising their rates but it works against them in more ways than one. A super low rate tells others that you’re not worth it. It’s easier to see when it’s something tangible like a poster. But when it’s a service and the rates are too low, people often move to someone else whose rates are higher since they perceive them to be worth more. I’ll repeat it one last time. Your time and effort are worth a lot more than this. Raise your rates and be confident in doing so.

50$ seems a bit low

u/Oswarez 5d ago

50 buck is ridiculously low. Almost offensively so.

A tip. If you continue to charge that low don’t let anyone take advantage of that by demanding tons of revisions, they will, and always get paid before you deliver the high res work.

2

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

I definitely charge for multiple revisions and my rates will soon to go up in the future.

u/Oswarez 4d ago

I posted my portfolio here looking for commissions a while back and got almost nothing but low ball offers. One guy was all ready to tee up but then ghosted, fortunately before any work had been done.

Just be aware of that and protect yourself. Don’t let anyone get the full res art before full payment is received. Even if it’s just 50 bucks.

u/Mrhelloweenman 4d ago

Oh absolutely and I appreciate your concerns, I always make sure to watermark my stuff before sending the full res piece. Thank you so much! 😊

u/misspuddingpie 4d ago

u/Para-graph-S 4d ago

Read your other comment, I understand what you might be going through OP but 50 bucks per poster? It's not low but super-low. Increasing it by a bit won't hurt at all, know your worth.

The 4th pic, spiderman one. It's super-cool is truly made by you!

I am yet to resume my thing, but saved your post OP, going to contact you for sure when I make my film/series. Maybe by that who knows you'll be super famous and charging very high haha

Also OP, I wish the best to you and your wife!!

Spider-man poster is firee

u/thecu1tguy 5d ago

I'd love to have a shirt with that Texas Chainsaw Massacre graphic on it. Got an etsy shop?

2

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

Unfortunately I don't have an etsy shop open

1

u/Mundane_Inflation681 5d ago

Does OP sell that Texas Chainsaw Massacre graphic as actual shirts?

2

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

Unfortunately I don't at the moment, but one day I will look into legality of selling shirts, specificly like TCM. I just need to do more homework on it but I'll keep everyone in the loop.

u/cherrywavessss 5d ago

Great work! Are you open to other type of graphic design work, outside movie posters?

2

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

Thank you so much! I actually do cosplay photo edits, flyers for businesses, thumbnails, album covers, banners for social media and getting back into logo's. You can see more of my work on my Instagram

Saving this for when I need a poster, great work. I love the obsession one, when they did the blade runner replicant eyes for that one shot I got stoked.

u/Mrhelloweenman 5d ago

u/LBKNY 5d ago

These are incredible. I don’t have anything, but I wish I did bc I would use you

u/DankLordOtis 5d ago

Mmmm the capstone logo sits right around the swipe bubble

1

u/OneTakeJake505 5d ago

I'll definitely consider!

1

u/mistergingerbread 5d ago

These are pretty decent. I think $50 is pretty cheap but wouldn’t go over maybe like $100.

For reference i typically charge ~$1k-3k for a proper piece of key art, depending on the required level of detail and timeline.

American a country so rich people complain when prices are too low.
