Then the agency I was freelancing for went under, was a nightmare as they hadn't paid me for awhile. I struggled for a few more months trying to get other work in, and at that point I thought fuck this and chucked it in.

In my experience if you allow a lot of contact with the client to talk them through concepts, allow revisions etc you can justifiably charge more – many companies have had their fingers burnt with substandard “one shot only” design work that they get stuck with…

I am finding it more and more difficult to get the price as I would like as there is always someone who will charge a 1/3rd for the same work.
