Thread: Graphic design, photo retouching

I'm opening up my schedule for some graphic design work.

My specialties are photo retouching and print media -- ads, postcards, business cards, flyers, brochures, etc.

I can also do graphics for websites -- static banners and ads for online publications like Gilded Serpent. I leave the design of the sites themselves to the pros in that area.

My rate is $65/hour and a typical job will take from 1-3 hours ($65-$195) depending on how well we're able to communicate what you want up front, and the quality of any original photos.

Samples of my work:

Business cards:



Postcard:



Flyer:

I also did the pieces that you see on this page
Stellar Advantage - Bellydance Events
(you're looking at the front, back, and inside pages of a folder that was mailed.)

Web Graphics can be viewed here:

and non-bellydance work is here:

I can't show you any photo retouching because I won't post the 'before' pics of my clients!

I can vouch for Lauren's services in the photo retouching department! I recently hired her to retouch two photos for me, and I was very happy with the results! One of them is the primary theme photo for Bellydance for Plus-Sized Women, Belly Dance for Full-Figured Women, and Bellydancing for Big Beautiful Women of me in the burgundy costume.

In each case, she took an initial look at the photo I wanted retouched and gave me a ballpark price based on how much time she thought it would take to do the work. I then gave her an approved budget number to work with. She did what was reasonable to do within the budget, and the photos turned out beautifully.

Lauren! OMG, I was wondering who had done that flyer for StellarAdvantage because I liked the layout and design so much. Good job!

Now, I'd like to take 45 of my lbs off of me and create a mini-me to have as dance partner....lol
