I completely salute this and this.
Has anyone realised, that the rates for a good design is getting cheaper and cheaper? Clients care just about their damned money, and do they have any idea that designers contribute their heart and soul into every design?
A webdesign plus coding = $50.
DESIGN PLUS HTML, and you get only 50 bucks?
The clients we have nowadays are some irresponsible shitfucks. They think "Hey, i think i can start a t-shirt design business! Just get some designs and then here comes my money!". Then they go and hire designers at some low prices, $20 per design, and no, they don't pay them yet. The designers are only paid when the client's business makes money.
In many such cases the business fails and what happens to the designer's supposedly-there pay? GONE. They are not paid for their work.
Plus designers themselves NEED to have integrity. You worked so hard, you did so much, you studied graphic design for such a long while, and you're getting paid only $100 or so for a full design, with your design being their intellectual property but not yours? CRAZY.
You sell your hard work, and your artwork, and that's only about $500? There is some terrible shit gone very terribly wrong.
Artists, have integrity. Be confident about your work, and know how much your work is worth. Don't let people judge your work. Judge them yourself.
Every graphic designer is getting walk-overed. It's not just the amateur ones. It happens to the professionals too.
E.g. ABC company decides to pay $1,200 for a web template. Professional A comes along, but deems that his design gets sold for $1500, any lower than that is not considered. ABC company rejects professional A, because there are some no-integrity artists who will decide that earning $1,200 is better. And ABC company knows that there will and would be someone who is willing to eat shit if they are paid $1,200.
There, you go.
Clients only care about their money, and so is the irresponsible shit fuck artists with no integrity.
Anyway, on a side note, i've gotten out of the commercial project. It's not because of the amount of money i could be paid, in fact i am happy for that amount my client quoted, just that i am one who works for the passion, never the money.
