Hey, as long as the client is happy, the designer has been paid, then I don't see the harm of doing business that way. As long as all parties are happy there should be no argument at all about this. If I take on your project, and I find that I am too busy to make the deadline, as long as the design is done to your satisfaction you shouldn't care how it got done or by whom. In that sense, the designer is paid for his/her work, and that work becomes part of the <i>companie's</i> portfolio. The <i>company</i>, henceforth known as "the broker" or design rep, can claim they can produce any level of work from within their portfolio, out-sourced or not. It's done all the fucking time people.
I'm not saying I do business that way, because I don't. But I can understand it. But again, my way is to make sure the work get's done and make sure all parties are paid and/or satisfied. clear?
