Greetings,
I am specialized in Image compositing, so manipulating, replacing elements, changing shapes, adding in, taking out elements is my daily work. No problems of the related subject at all and very open minded.
The task isnt too complex. Pretty much some overlay masks, shape adjustments and colormatching is necessary.
Reasons for the higher bid:
However, if you want high quality work, 15$ dollar per hour might not work out also, because we are freelancer and not employee. Considering that professionals have a very fast work flow, making it nearly impossible to earn full hourly rates, which equal the financial need of an independent designer. Im quite new to "Freelancer" - So if their is an option to pay a fixed amount per project, you may take advantage of that in the future, since its possibly more attractive to most in the industry.
Sincerely
Maurice.B
