Message: [QUOTE="Thump, post: 153616, member: 1034"] I have some of my work [URL=http://www.ratchetheads.com][b]here[/b][/URL]this stuff is very old, new stuff should be up soon. And no I have not seen Digital Blaphemy... I will check it out. Wayne0, NYC is over run by "talent" You can do a job that will take you 6hrs and charge $1800 or some other less talented retoucher will bid the job at $800 and take 15hours to do it. Clients always like to go with the less expensive route.... You are correct though if you are not really good expect to either employed, or working at Kinkos. BTW you do some nice work. Being with a company like mine time and quality is everything. Fast turn around and flawless on press. My billing rate is based off efficiency on the computer, meaning if I charged what other studios charge I would be WAY underbidding. The same way a good mechanic bases price on "book hours". All the work I do is for print with the exception of what I do for DRN. Print work is WAY more crittical than web work becaause you have to be versed in 4 color separation, spot colors and anticipate the press check to run up or pull out colors on the fly and you don't want the image to get nasty in that event.... As a freelancer I am certain I could double my salary but working for a company is comforting having security and benifits... Wayne, if you want to come to Texas...we are hiring? [/QUOTE]
