I love the actual work but hate how much ai is changing what the craft looks like. If you’re just starting out. Stay away from fixed pricing. Charge an hourly rate based on how long you actually work. Everyone in the industry looses when you do a fixed price. Clients ideate forever wasting everyone’s time you loose money and the product suffers Adobes pricing structure is absolutely insane these days. It’s too expensive.
