Standard charges are 25 to 30 an hour. That's low end. Actually, I only adhere to that when the client has the money. Mostly I go job by job. And since I do video covers, it's usually on spec and I get a percentage of profits when the film pays out. Now, that 25 to 30 an hour doesn't take into consideration revisions. The client has a right to ask for a certain number of revisions, usually 2 or 3, but realistically until they're satisfied, but contractually, you charge extra for revisions. One thing I would advise you to do is get some sample bid forms and contract forms for graphic work and familiarize yourself with them so you're not lost when it comes up.
