I was reading recently that someone was saying 20 bucks was too expensive for a custom MGP design. This set me to find out why some would think that an hours worth of specialty work design work is worth less than 20 bucks.
Just thought this might be interesting for many people here. I'm sure most US designers are dealing with the pressing issue of losing work to non-us designers who undercut us for what seems like chump change. I remeber a time when charging 100 an hour for design work with an ACE cert was not unheard of.
If you have any other resoucres, stats, charts etc you would like to post please do so. This is not meant as a rant or a slanderous turnabout on non-us designers.
