Hi guys haven't posted in ages... thought i'd post on something that seem to bug me every time i here about it and that is the concept of bidding for clients.
If there's one thing i'm strictly against it's bidding for work it seems that more and more bidding sites are coming into existence every week. freelancers everywhere are losing work due to lower quality designs getting chosen over good quality designs due to un-skilled 'designers' charging a pittance for work. It's bad for both clients and designers alike. clients are getting poor design advice and skilled artists are loosing potential clients because of the lack luster work being produced for next to nothing costs. Also freelancers are having to produce concepts before being paid, so depending on how many bids there are a design could easily spend say 10 hours designing something and then they don't get chosen for the job. That 10 hours which could be easily spent on other genuine work, for genuine clients. Although innovative the internet and it's bidding sites could be leading to the downfall of the client/designer relationship... designers can barely describe there work or build a relationship with the client which can sometimes even lead to that magic within a final piece. That bond between client and designer is a spectacular way of putting something personal into a design making what we do an artform not some graphical cliche.
anyway after that little rant here's one of my latest designs
