About me:

My name is Aaron, I'm 20 years old, and have been designing things since I can remember. I'm probably one of the easiest people you'll ever deal with, and I don't think I've ever fought with anyone. I'm also extraordinarily professional and don't mess around. If you need it done, I get it done. I'm here to be your designer for whatever you may need me for.

What I'll Do:

Practically anything. I have formal training in print, typography and logotype, but I've always had a passion for web and graphic design. examples:

Logos
Business cards
Company Identity
Banners
Templates
Web Pages
Landing Pages (though I see plenty of people have that covered, I won't step on your game.)
And so on...

Only catch is that I do not code. I work in strictly graphics.

What You Receive:

1st pass, revisions, master PS/AI/ID/PDF files, PNG renders of finished product packaged neatly in a .rar with your name on it.
Skills:

 Expert - Illustrator 10 - CS3
Expert - Photoshop 5 - CS3
Expert - InDesign CS3
Intermediate - Flash 8 - CS3
Intermediate - Dreamweaver 8 - CS3
Intermediate - HTML/CSS
Intermediate - MySQL
Intermediate - CPanel
Intermediate - Premiere CS3
Intermediate - After Effects CS3
Beginner - Ruby on Rails

Examples of my Work:

My portfolio is currently in PDF format, because, well, that's what I'm trained to do. I will replace it with a web portfolio soon.

Prices and Payment:

I charge by the hour. My usual price is $35/hr but for web folks I drop my price to $25/hr. Usually a project won't take more than 4 hours, but that of course depends. Banners, business cards, expect those to be about 25 bucks a piece, while larger projects such as intricate website layouts and print projects will take longer.

I currently only accept PayPal.

I have 5 current client slots open, and can be contacted at:
AIM: ThenEonSaid
E-mail: eon(at)its-loading(dot)com
Or PM me

I will be able to do projects today, but will be busy through the weekend, and will start up again Monday. I wanted to make sure this post was up to generate some interest, and when Monday rolls around I'll be working full force on whatever projects I'm contacted for through the week.

Thanks everybody!
 


Ya hourly rate scares me a bit. What does a logo or header take in time or cost? Some estimate would be nice.
 
I'm willing to switch that, not a problem. I'll come up with a rate sheet for smaller projects, and quote people for larger.

Usually when I work hourly I never over charge, and am always willing to negotiate. If I know I took too much time, I'll take those extra hours off, or if I say something will be there on time and it isn't (I'm usually 99% on time) I'll take a large chunk out of the price.

Would replying to my post after I change my rates be considered a bump? I don't want to get banned or anything.

no, you wouldn't be banned for that, scammers and spam is more of the problem here, if you're not any of those then you won't be in any trouble.

It's possible if you PM'd a mod they could even change it for you in your original post but, I'm not sure about that.
 
Thanks for the interest Jason, I contacted you earlier and am waiting to hear from you.

Here's a rate sheet I came up with as requested.

Rate Sheet:

Small web:
Banners - (ask about size) $15 - $25
Logo - $45 (logo sheet as seen in my portfolio)

Medium web:
Templates - $50
WP Skins - $50

Large web:
Websites (5 pages and below) - $350
Websites (5 pages and above) - Quoted

Small Print:
Logo - $50 (logo sheet as seen in my portfolio)
Business Cards - $30
Letterheads - $20
Envelopes -$20
Full identity (all 4) - $100

Medium print:
Posters - $35
Brochures - $45

Large print - Quoted:
(Don't think you guys will be doing this... but tell me about the proeject and I'll quote it.)

If you don't see it on this sheet, or you have a special project, then I will quote you for it. If you're wondering about the logo prices, depending on print or web my process changes. Setting up for either is different.
Hope this sounds reasonable to everybody :]

Stopped responding to me and haven't seen payment which was due friday. I have a feeling that something came up, but I don't have time to wait around for payment so I need to move on.

Too bad my first WF experience wasn't the nicest, but I'll give it a second chance. I'm reopening my work slots for anyone that needs my services.
 
hi Grover, just a thought. Maybe you should post some of your works here or set up a site for your portfolio, most people are just lazy to download 7MB files... I have downloaded your portfolio and I must say your work is good. Good luck man :)
 
Thanks Demonez! That's the 3rd message/post complimenting my work today, good to hear.

I'll whip up a web portfolio and post it, thanks for the tip :]
 
When you say "WP Skin" but that you don't code, I'm assuming this is a graphic package not actually developed into a theme? If I give you a WP theme with no images with which to work can you flesh out the graphics in the theme or will I just get a PSD/etc. which will then need slicing and integrating?

I could use a theme as a template, yes. Or, if you did want it made from scratch, I could give you a PSD. It's up to you.
