hawaii 5-0

this is old news but it's an excuse for me to post something for the 1st time.

i checked out the hawaii 5-0 awards ceremony. wall 2 wall swept it. nomura designs also took quite a bit of awards. i visited their studio for an AIGA tour with KCC and UH. A lot of the designs they showed us at their studio won awards. It was a trip to be able to see this.

Just an FYI with Empowered Internet's ZeppOS which is a very high powered content management editor where once designs have been cut for a client, they can manage basic areas on their own for the site as text, images, etc.. It takes a load off designers in hand-holding and supporting clients allowing you to take on more business.

Hi Derick. I know some students that charge $100 / page. Another option would be to charge something like $400 for a project fee and $50 for every page beyond 5. Of course companies often charge 10x this much, so it would be a good deal if you worked hard and created a nice site. It really depends on how far you are with your studies, if you are doing things like illustration, and other factors. I hope this helps.
