It will always be a huge gap between the work of someone playing around with istockphoto elements and other one creating the elements from scratch. Most of the time clients/bosses realize that when you don't work with them anymore, if you are a good designer...
At the end they are looking for quick solutions, they don't want designers to take time to think and get inspired... the internet gives them the illusion that creative process is a very easy, cheap and fast push-a-button action and that anyone with the same tools can get the same quality of work. And of course there are institutions that sell you that idea too... learn graphic design in 3 month courses...I always smile and wait them to beg for help... for the economic crysis I have no choice but to accept some clients but there was a guy that wanted a Real Estate website and only because I suggested Joomla was open source he wanted to pay me 200$ for the domain registration, hosting, design and personalization of Joomla... and everything to next week.
- so true, I just made more fixing some cheap Indian labor than I would in the first place... sucka!zarkonite
