I think you're looking more likely at $7-9k.

Thanks for all the props guys. I've been a web designer for MANY years (since 95) but never had any real graphics design training. Just been using photoshop since v2.5 out of necessity, so I've had years of trial and error. I'm convinced Photoshop is the single most badass application ever developed =)

Not quite sure what you're going for here...
