Designer for a poster - what is the average going price?

[strawberryluna]

We Design and print your posters for $2 per each color and $1 for your paper. So a 100 set of a three color print would be $700 plus the shipping after printing. Plus the artist does the printing also something that you don't get out of a designer.

Austin Screen Printing - Under Pressure Screen Printing

i'm a designer and the printer. alot of people here are. especially in austin.

so, yeah, you can get that out of a designer.

2 posts! make your third count!

What is that supposed to mean...I am a designer and I do my own printing...as do a TON of people on here.

thirded, i design and print my work too.

i think you'll find that most here do design and handle the screenprinting both, so it's really not a rare selling point to dis designers as not able to handle the printing. it's the norm on GP.

Hi, sorry if this is a really annoying thread, but I'm trying to make a business plan for a film festival. What would be a ballpark average price to hire an artist to create a poster for a film festival? It would be a yearly contract kind of deal. I know these things have a lot of variables and negotiation involved, but any help or quotes would be really helpful. Thank you so much.

depending on how many pieces of collateral you are looking for too, each one gets a price. for instance, one poster, or 3 different sized ones, a banner, web pieces, ticket stubs, etc.

and, are you looking for just design, or someone to screenprint the posters? or, as uncle charlie suggested, handle the print brokering for you if the posters are to be offset / machine printed? i've handled all of the above and every job is different based on those factors, quantities, etc.

it's tough to toss out numbers without knowing all of the pieces of the puzzle, but once they are known, it's easier to do a quote.

Do we have moderators anymore? How does one become one? I'd love to help clean up the Spamtacular times that seem to be going on here lately. I swear it's more than usual and would be happy to help.

As for the designer bashing. One thing you won't get from a designer is ugly stacked type.

Cheers,
DG

I think there are 4 of us moderating, however there is still spam that gets occasionally missed. Easiest way to help us is to report spam posts by clicking the little '!' in a triangle icon on the bottom left of the questionable post.

Not all the moderators can be on the forums to see stuff themselves all of the time, but if a post is reported, we all get emailed to let us know, and it's an easy job for us to delete/ban as needed.

Thanks to those that regularly report posts, and for your occasional amusing messages to us.

Have y'all (you all) a good day GP'ers!
