I don't do much new client work anymore (actually, none), but in the past I would charge according to the usage of the design. If it's just for a Brochure it would be x amount of dollars, if later they wanted to use it for Hats & T-shirts, they would have to pay me more, etc, etc... or if they opt for full usage rights (which most would) I charge them the full price, provide them with camera ready art and/or the digital file depending on how the artwork was created (by hand or by computer), and they can do whatever the heck they want with it. But, it's all in the contract, under Usage Rights.

thank you bro this is exactly what i needed to know, my friend is looking for full-usage rights to the design with a signed agreement. now i need to find an agreement contract for him to use
