This training answers the question of what you can and must earn as a designer.
The designs are glued to cardboard, the text is written, the photo shoot was a success - moments that give the creative the uplifting feeling of practicing one of the most beautiful professions in the world. At the end of the month, the euphoria is dampened: a look at the bank account! Where is the profit hidden between the lines? That's not possible! You've been working around the clock. There is only one conclusion: your own work is not sufficiently remunerated.
The aim of this workshop series is to enable you to calculate your own hourly rate and create realistic offers on this basis. The result can (and will) differ from the recommendations of the professional associations. But more important than striving for fictitious figures is the proper commercial calculation of the service. Here is the preface to the training.
