Latest 6 Reviews Here is what people are saying about the Graphic Artists Guild Handbook : Pricing & Ethical Guidelines (Graphic Artists Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines, 10th Edition)
I purchased this in hopes of using it to refine my contracts and proposals, but it falls a little short. I suppose, if you treat your business as more of a in-and-out service firm, the contracts might work well. However, in the case of my design studio which often offers lengthy proposals with extensive contract verbage at the end, it didn't shed much light on how to ensure all my legal bases are covered in an ever-more-complex world of design and development.
I recently got this book and from what I have been seeing so far I know that this book will be so valuable to me. I recommend this book for artists of every medium.
Finally, a new addition that was published while the economy was overheated in 2007, the 12th edition. If all the staggering Federal deficit spending brings us hyper-inflation in the next couple of years, the Graphic Artist Guild will need to publish a new addition, soon, with updated prices that are adjusted for inflation.
"Great reference for freelance / contract designers & illustrators"
I first saw this series of books when working in house in the late 90's. I somewhat forgot about them until seeing the book at a local Big New bookstore, where I picked up the most recent copy and checked it out a bit. I realized that I should have bought this book years ago, when I first went out on my own in the design world, so I came home and ordered it up on Amazon (for about 40% off the price it was at the bookstore.) I probably should have bought it at the bookstore, since I spend a lot of time there but times are tough, you have to save where you can.
The book is broken down into just about every segment / classification you can think of. From designing stamps for third world countries to doing medical illustrations for advertisements (and literally everything in between). There are a few tiny holes (ie: catalog layout), but with so much other subjects / materials for cross referencing, it's pretty easy to figure out what the rate should be.
All in all, I'd HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone who does any freelance or contract work in the creative field. It would be a great gift for any recent or future college graduate in the graphic design / illustration field. There's loads of information inside it's covers.
I'm a freelance graphic/web designer who is looking for good resources on developing contracts and average pay rates. This is by far a very handy resource to have around.
I'm a graduating senior in Illustration and I bought this book to use as a guideline for prices but when I brought it in to school all of my teachers, who are working illustrators them selves told me I wasted my money. They told me that this book is only useful as a first indication to someone like me who has literally no idea of what market value for different illustrations are but that the information in this book is obtained by surveys sent out to illustrators and designers. In some cases they got 4 back, 3 of which were from retired people, meaning that for that section the information is just 1 persons opinion, though it's presented as the final word on the situation. As a result of the book being compiled this way the prices almost never change or go up and this book is a large contributing factor to the fact that prices for illustration and design are still in the same place they were 20 years ago. This book is only good for someone who has no idea at all what to charge, but it does more harm then good and at the advice of every working illustrator and designer I've talked to it's a waste of money.
