I have worked for this agency for almost a year and have used one vacation today. So I took today and tomorrow off from work to move and do other stuff and I have already received two emails related to jobs that they need ASAP.

mind-find-Dallas Texas May 28, 08, 7:10 a.m.

I know their aren't a-lot of americans that use QBN but if you live in dallas texas do not use mind-find.com for creative recruiting. I got so royally screwed with the job I took; and I am under contract until august. I actually believed the recruiter when they said they had a job that would help my career..

example..I haven't received a creative brief in 8 months. example 2. I am my own traffic manager. example 3. The acct execs don't know what a vector file is (even though i teach them the terminology. example 4 the art director is to busy to work with me when i really need it.

I am bitching slightly but if i would have known the circumstances before i accepted I would have not taken the position. I was duped.

AHHHHHHHHH

Logo Suggestions/Crit May 24, 08, 3:18 p.m.

Synopsis. I am doing a logo for a crazy lady who wants something for nothing. (I wont get paid much) Therefore I am not going to spend alot of time on this project. But i would like suggestions about what you think. The only requirement was to have a logo icon that can stand alone from the text if need be.
