Knowing your budget is very important in starting the design process. This will allow me to know where to begin when it comes to details, materials, and techniques. When pricing pieces I consider the following:
- Size
- Time it takes me to design
- If it can be laser cut or requires me to hand cut on a scroll saw
- Time spent shaping and sculpting pieces if necessary
- Types of material used
- Painting detail and time
- Type of backer used
- Assembly time
Most pricing generally STARTS around $150
Custom photo signs generally START at $400.
