How much should I pay for a layout

I need a layout for a business card and a greeting card in corel draw n jpg. what is the normal cost? If I 'm going to hire a designer via net,how much will he demand normally? Guide me!

 

anywhere from 50$ to tens of thousands depending on what you need done, who you want it done by, how you want it to look, etc.

if you want it done cheap I suggest forums like digitalpoint's buy/sell/trade or similar forums like the ones on sitepoint and webhostingtalk

 

You can run a contest on http://www.sitepoint.com for $100. I consider this a fair price.

 

So an ace designer will cost more right? But an ordinary 8 cms * 8 cms will cost $50?

 

You cannot judge an between an ace designer now or just somewho learned hwo to use photoshop. There are tons of 1000 tutorial sites with milions of buding designer. About 800000 are cable of doing your task and more. And you dont have to pay alot.

just create a buzz in photoshop tutorial site

 

Grapics layout is always for printing. 20$ - 40$.

 

For a buisseness card you can get it done really quick for $20 because the purpose of a card is to be simple and easy for print. So just hit up a freelancer site and you'll get people jumping to do this for you. but I always take a good hard look for two weeks or so before choosing a provider because there's a lot of BS designers so just be careful and talk to them and let them know your thinking or they'll lose interest in helping you. You can even ask for mockups.

 

Just hit me a PM and we can talk
