Why do people assume creative jobs are easy?

Jobs like fashion, music producer, artist, designer etc.... People don't realize how much work, time and thinking goes into our work. I designed a 29 page medical brochure for a client. This project took 7+ hours to make. Took a lot of creativity and time to get this done within the timeline he wanted it. I am charging him $200, which is a pretty cheap for a brochure design. However he wants $200 for two 29 page brochures and a smaller brochure. That is not going to happen. I've been screwed over so many times in the past doing freelance work that i refuse to budge for this one.

Well, of course you know to find out what the competition charges so you will have an idea of what you should.

When you say the project took 7+ hours, does that include the time you spent planning things or was that strictly the "labor" part?

@CestManan well said, the time is for labor, time spent planning things and research.
