I’ve just started my design courses this September. I am progressing ok with the design side, but not as good on the business management side. Part of the last assignment asks us to estimate time required to do certain basic design and I did badly. Can I have some advice from any more experienced designers here?
For example, a one-sided letter-size flyer (no custom photos required, can use stock images), what’s a reasonable time estimate for completion? As I am still learning, I think the rate I work is much slower than an experienced designer. So I explained a bit and answered 2 hours. Apparently, this was "over ambitious". Is that fair?
I have similar problems for like a 11"x17" poster (1-side 4 colours), and a 9"x4.5" postcard (one side graphic 4 colours and one side grey scale mostly text.
Can someone help and give me a very general ball park estimate for these designs? I totally have no idea as I some times spends up to a week for a letter-size flyer for my design assignment, but thought that 35 hours is totally not right!!! (esp. if no custom photo time it required)
Thanks for any help!
