Girlfriend was putting together a "spa" day at her work for the assistants at her company and asked me to put together a flyer/email invitation. I considered just tossing in a warped, low-res, watermarked photo of some bamboo and using Papyrus to create it (because that's what people like this actually expect), but instead I "designed" it really nice. I even did it in PowerPoint because that's what they understand and use. I did it for free because, what the hell, what's an hour for some design good, right?
Three picky revisions later I send it over, done. They started changing it, they didn't understand it and ended up rejecting it altogether. No joke, they ended up using a stretched photo of bamboo and Papyrus. I don't even know why I bother if I'm not getting paid.
- Come on, pics of your original design. We all wanna see! Name and shamepig
- the first conversation has to be "if I work for free, I have total creative FREEDOM, NO REVISIONS":... good luck!vaxorcist
