Thanks for the advice!

Let me offer you this advice. I have owned my own design firm and have built it up from a one man shop to a team of a dozen. There's no glory in this. In fact, I would never do this again, you lose the spirit of design when you become a big company. This aside, consider this perspective—When I design a product package, say a wine label, how am I contributing. In my opinion, I am not a by-the-hour service, I am a partner in their business and making a major contribution towards their success. In fact, I'll have more to do with that product selling than the wine maker will, or at least the first bottle. I base my fees on how much revenue my work will generate for a client. There are two aspects to this business. If someone comes to you with all the colors and styles and images and wants you to assemble this, you are a layout person and should charge by the hour. If someone comes to you asking you to create, you are an artist and designer, and a partner in their work and should treat it as such. An interesting question. Let me offer you this advice.
