I know first time this been asked. Used sites like NoSpec on this subject of not low balling and getting screwed over.
I work for a corporate company as graphic designer and another department asked me to do a concept piece on a fast turn around. They need it for a presentation and the person who originally did the designs ditch the job.
I meet with the person to discuss objective, my price and the hours needed for this project. Since this is a freelance I am using my personal computer and not my departments since I do not want problems (HR), told her that to avoid problems.
We talked payments and she wants the invoice to her name and she will submit it to payroll but I think she meant accounting since I am a freelance and not her employee. I will make point of that in my email to her.
Then I told her I will e-mail the piece for review to her either tonight or tomorrow morning, as I said it, " I want you to see it at least day before to review, give changes and help you get ready for that presentation on Thursday."
So my question is my first time freelancing done professionally or did I make mistakes?
Thank you
Addendum: She emailed me all the information and artwork I may need, but since she never gave me creative brief just to say what she wants and proof for me to say "This is what you told me". I did a creative brief but set as "Are we on the same understanding on this project"
