I have a question regarding commissions.

I've been asked by a musician to do a logo/typeface for her stage name. I've never charged anyone before and stupidly only asked for a very small amount of money in our first emails. I then found out that she actually has a record label behind her and that this is potentially a 'bigger' job than i first thought.
I've since worked on the typeface and have three contact sheets to show her to see if she wants to go ahead and use one of my designs.

I have 2 questions

1. Is it stupid and amateur or even just rude to put a light cross watermark on the contact sheets? They're slightly lowres.

2. Am I entitled to ask for more money, how should I go about that and how much?

Thanks in advance anonkun.

yes it tends to piss off clients use a contract instead (adobe sign /echosign)
>Am I entitled to ask for more money, how should I go about that and how much?
for the amount it usually depends of the place where you are and the hours/quality of the designs for renegotiating the price i'm not sure of asking for more money i wouldn't do that since it might piss off the client so maybe you will want to come clean and speak to her as you are doing it now not sure

>watermark
surely you've set up a contract which counters her stealing your work
>am i entitled to ask for more money
you can do what you like mate but it will probably piss her off. better to do it, learn your lesson, and charge more in the future.

Thanks for the advice. The problem is it's a really casual thing, a friend of a friend who liked some of the stuff I've done. The initial sum I said was just me throwing out a number, so I said £20, but I've been told by people and friends to have at least gone for £100. But you guys are right, it's my mistake.

I'll just stick by the original plan, thanks again.

Brother, £20 says a lot about you. If you work for any more than 3 hours that's lower than minimum wage.

Check these guys out, they'll teach you the business of design. You could have EASILY charged +£200, and LIKELY charged +£1000

Always ask what their budget is OP!
