Casual acquaintance emailed me asking me if I wanted to be featured and put personal work in a magazine he’s making.
It’s free to put in content but I’m not really feeling the rest of the contributors or the design of the last issue he designed.
What do I say to decline?
- Could be some free advertising and if the other designers are shity it just makes you look better and more work 4 uGuyFawkes
- ^ yeah, but I feel like it makes my work look bad. Or if I’m not into the other work, he won’t show it to people looking for good work?bainbridge

- If you've got concerns about the other content watering down your work, don't do it. A proper decline is just a professional one.garbage
- It sounds like he's got some particular content in mind, so just throw him a white lie that you had other plans for it.garbage
- My two cents anyway. Been in a similar situation, and it is an awkward jam to be in.garbage
- What's a proper decline? Do I say it doesn't interest me?bainbridge

- If it's a casual acquaintance, then yeah? Just say you had other plans for it. Or shovel out shape's idea lol.garbage
- tell him you're stuck in an oil painting or "i have other priorities at the moment, maybe next time"dorf
