Hello all

I've just been made redundant from a job as Graphic Designer - but the company want to keep me on as a freelancer, doing pretty much the same job. I've never worked freelance before - and I have no idea what sort of rates I should ask for. Can anyone give me some guidance on what I could expect to charge, as a not-very-experienced designer / artworker?

Thanks for any advice at all!
