Have you ever been frustrated by a customer who came in with a sloppy, low-resolution file designed by their nephew? Do clients micromanage you to the hilt? Well, worry now more! CreativeBloq.com has developed a pricing structure that is sure to save clients money, reduce rework and preserve a harmonious relationship with customers. It’s based on a Fibonacci "golden ratio" sequence — the more the client controls the process, the higher the cost.

It begins with $100 for the designer to completely handle a job’s creation, and progresses up to $3,400 for the customer to completely handle design.

Granted, the proposed rate card was done tongue-in-cheek, but wouldn’t it make a designer’s job easier to take a lower up-front fee and ensure less customer meddling?
