Why do some people think design is just colouring within the lines and not a real profression? Just got turned out for a job where the potential client couldn't believe we charged that for dropping some copy + images into a page... It sounded like a crap project anyway but still. !@*£&£ to them!
please share my frustration...

But my cousin has a pc and that photoshop thing. I'll get him to knock something up for free.

You get what you pay for, if someone offers me shit money for things I do a shit job for them and they say how come my job doesn't look like the job you did for such and such, to which I reply they paid more money.

I was gonna post the same thing...hahaha.
"My niece is very creative...." or maybe "I can put something up at my friends computer with photoshop, that's what you use right?"

I hate it so much that people see your work and they say I want that I love what youve done there I want something very similar, and then say how come you won't do it for half the price.

I also hate the fact that most clients "know" more about branding, layout and COLORs than you... I guess I sat in endless classes for nothing? not to mention all the fukin money spent...

i was meeting with a guy that does high-end, custom cabinetry. i really enjoyed the tour, as i'm a hobbiest woodworker, which came up in our discussion
when we met again to review the proposal, he balked at the price. "why is this so expensive? couldn't i get someone to build this site for $500?"
"yes. and couldn't your customers just get me to build their cabinets? i mean, sure, it'll take a lot longer, and my skills certainly are as finely honed as your staff's...but i can certainly do it cheaper."
point perfectly made. ha!

yeah, he turned me down for the project, nonetheless. fucker.
