Price it Right
Price it Right supports illustrators and commissioners in confident pricing and negotiation. It’s a campaign for the whole industry.
Why is the campaign needed?
The campaign builds on the success of the Don’t Work For Free campaigns. It is needed for three main reasons:
Increases understanding and confidence in pricing illustration
Illustration has a logical pricing structure, with commissioners paying for what they want (and not what they don’t need) with a licence. It’s a straightforward system, but one which needs to be clearly priced. If you are not sure how to approach pricing – get in touch with the AOI, or use the negotiation and pricing resources on our website.
Values Illustration
Copyright assignments of all rights in artwork, or blanket licenses lead to illustration being devalued and the licencing model being ignored. Over time this means illustration is an unsustainable career for individuals, and the wealth of talent commissioners draw on evaporates.
Supports Business
Negotiation is an important part of business. With informed pricing negotiations are clearer and more robust leaving more time for the creative process.
What will the campaign achieve?
- Increased confidence and understanding of pricing commissions
- Clear, transparent negotiations
- The value of illustration being maintained
