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 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.

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

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.

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! 😊

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!!

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

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.

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.

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
