Factors to Consider When Pricing Design Services
When pricing your design services it can be difficult to determine what is an appropriate and fair price. The resulting price should be influenced by a number of different factors. Unfortunately, many times it is just guess work from the designer.

Should we educate our clients?
What I am getting at and what I have been struggling with is the question of whether we as designers should spend time educating these clients. In my research of some solution to this question, I have found two distinct opinions on the circumstance.
