contract question

[HYNES]

So you estimate a project at say $2000-$2500. The estimate is approved and you go to write the contract to be signed before work commences.
What do you put down as the fee on the contract? Do you put it as it is in the estimate, take the highest figure?
any help appreciated.

Go buy the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook of Ethical Pricing and Guidelines.

Tis the artists bible.

I've been checking that book - its kind of hazy. I think im just going to put the estimate prices on the contract.

- Max, it's far more boring than a poster job and possibly not the real estimate
