^_^ of course i get it, ive worked with professional designers, me and my fathers friend was a long time employee of BP, British Peterolium (sp?) now Better Peterolium, or somthing like that, and he did almost all their work, and he got paid very very well. after leaving he started his own business. But i know how much he charges for sites / logos, hes not cheep, He has art degrees amoung other things, and his skill rivals very few. hell, hes been using photoshop since version 2 or 3 ;D
I've been using Photoshop since version 2.0.7, Illustrator since AI88 and have done work forthe US Olympic Commitee, The Department of the Army, and others. I'm not against lower prices for certain situations. I've given away work and I've given huge discounts for some. I simply find it striking when an entire community is undercutting themselves in general practice. I just feel anyone who approaches someone for a logo should be asked to at least pay reasonable market prices. It supports the graphic industry as a whole. the more people can ask for and recieve a logo for $30 the harder it is to actually get the industry valued as it should be.
I've enjoyed this discussion. I hope I haven't offended anyone in the process.
You havent offened me in anyway and i return the same to you, i hope i havent offened you.
I really would like to see some of your work that youve done and maybe i could pass the word on to others about you. ( and yes at your price, cuz that is a resoanable price )
Sorry. I won't be sending any work through private messages. The work i've done is not relevent to the conversation. If you'd care to see profesional work pick up a copy of Print, HOW, or Communications Art magazine.
