You deserve more than $10. I was thinking maybe $30-$40ish.

When you start off, charging alot of money is going to get you nowhere fast. The people who charge a lot of money are well established in the business. You aren't, therefore you should be charging SIGNIFICANTLY less than other people. If you don't agree with that because you want more money, you're in the wrong business. Graphic Design is a job where you get few jobs, but you can make alot of money on each project. You, having just started off, and not really having anything that would make you stand out, should charge less. Alot less. Also, think about it this way. If people realize you charge less than others but have some decent quality work, you'll be recomended for having low prices and good work. When you get better, you can raise your prices and have lower prices for great work. As TC said, there's nothing in the gallery that stands out, most of the work is flat and basic. Try applying some layer effects to your images, make them more 3D, flat will only get you so far, and without significant diversity in your pieces, you'll be tagged as a one trick pony. So instead of doing stuff for wrestling, branch out, contact local businesses, design a logo for a friends business, post some stuff you did in your own free time, anything that is diverse and unique will do.
EDIT: Also, the logo could use alot of work. It looks okay at the size it is now, but think about if you shrink it down for something, you lose detail. Find something that represents "Diablo" and come up with a simple vector for it that can easily be recognized as belonging to you.

I've had the business for quite a few months now, but I have only just started it up as Diablo Designs. But yeah, I think I will lower the prices back down to the original $10, and then move them up to about $15-20 in about six months time.

I think $10 is too low. You need to actually make some money for your time. Maybe even just reduce all by $10.

I'd say: Business Cards - 25 $ Logo - 30 $ Header - 40 $
At least for now.

People around here ate it up like flies on poop because everyone other GFX/Media firm wanted almost double, and then the people came back a few months later after we raised our prices.

Nah its all good. Its a funny joke I made. Since he enjoys it so much, i'll just ban him for another 3 days. Im all for poking fun at people and jokes and shit, but pissing off a forum member who has done NOTHING on MS to warrant it is ridiculous. You're badass, aren't you?

The guy did something Cane felt deserved a ban. He got the ban, came back, antagonised him. Got another ban, came back, and did the same again. He was warned twice.

Just kinda thought Cane stooped down to a troll's level there. :\ Oh for god's sake. You are annoying the fuck out of me on here lately too. Do you know the meaning of troll? Pointlessly posting, offering no help to the forum, etc. Obviously you dont because the post was not pointless. You are being retarded about this whole thing, to both CMC and me. Granted this IS your thread that MRN started to troll, but why do you constantly need to tell us your opinions? We'll ask for them if we want them. The guy got banned TWICE for trolling, and came back and trolled. I banned him. Simple as that. Next time I'll be sure to ask your opinion regarding assholes that harrass good members, oh chosen one.
