Honestly, as a graphics designer myself, I feel as if people just totally take advantage over the graphic designing community. Honestly, this has happened so many times to me, it's actually starting to get on my nerves, and I'm sure this happens to many, MANY over GFX designers. If people think that they can just demand something, like a thumbnail or an ad, and just offer something pathetic for it, what's even the point? I don't think buyers realise how much time and effort goes into thumbnail, or a logo, or anything in that matter. I have constantly been bugged by people because I couldn't make a thumbnail in a ridiculous given time, I want any buyers thumbnail to look good, if you want one doing in 5 minutes you're literally asking the GFX community to copy another thumbnail, because
if you want a product done in such a time, it's practically impossible.

Another issue that is happening is that people call designers scammers if they ask for something stupendous, trust me it happens. And if you've given a designer a stupid request for something pathetic in return, do you really expect them to say yes to the offer?

Honestly I just think that us graphic designers are just taken advantage over and I think people need to be aware of how hard it can be to design graphics and how much time and effort it requires.

So next time you order something, at least even consider what I have written.

Effect spammers are not real graphic designers.

If you say a price, you decide it
you tell someone a time frame - do it

Respect is earnt. You get money at the end of the day - what else you expect?

Yeah, I agree.

A lot of the offers are lowball. I go by Devex rates. (400R = 1 dolla)

I expect not to be ordered around by someone who doesn't even know the time and effort it takes to make a good product.

I do have a tip to GFX designers:
How tempting it may be, don't sell perm worker deals, because I can not blame the person for demanding there, honestly I really wouldn't do this kind of thing, because then it's your own fault.

Nevertheless, thank god over people agree with me hah.

i make stuff, free and sometimes, rarely, for pay.

when someone makes an offer for something 'great' you fight for a price you like, negotiate and find a place where you are satisfied with what you're making, as well as the buyer is happy with what he thinks he will be getting for what he's paying. don't complain about it here. it wouldn't be a problem if you simply did that.

when someone asks you to do something within an allotted amount of time, try to do it as best you can in that time, but if you really believe you can't do it within the allotted time, then tell them you can't do it. they'll either understand or comply with how much time you can actually make it in should they really have no where else to turn.

when it comes to respect, expect none. you aren't getting paid based on respect, you're getting paid based on the quality of your work and the time you got it done. the only 'respect' you'll be receiving is when you get vouched for or quoted when another person asks for a graphic designer.

simple as this.

screw it and hail satan, im a penguin. i love c&gs faces.
