    A 'client' (term used loosely) has me on an itty-bitty nothing retainer as we are basically 'friends' and this measly rate I charge them is basically a gift (an investment in a sense... this friend / client may not pay much themselves but they often provide nice leads so SOMETIMES it can be win / win).

    I was given some reference art and asked to create a 'day of the dead' folkart-ish looking poster for an up-coming festival... no problem. Thing is we have no deadlines etc... there is an unspoken understanding that they'll get it when they get it (and it's always long before any mass marketing takes place... weeks in advance)

    I was dicking around on facebook and one of the guys w/the company posted the poster but was kind of a dick in acknowledging me and my turn-around as if I'm some slowpoke slacker who fortunately does good work.

    Dude couldn't even credit me... :/

    I'll probably just let this slide and not mention to them that I saw the post... but what a dickhead way to present the poster to the community... ... a-holes

    • It's really more of a back-handed compliment. I wouldn't worry about it... just up your rate to "ensure you don't miss any more deadlines".SteveJobs
    • Tell this cunt it wasn't ready yet and you'd have to make some changes. Then let them wait for ages and finally deliver the same file without changes.grotesk_neue
