It's a 20 minute job. If the guy has any talent and he posts the samples here lots of people get to see what he can do. If the guy does not have any talent then why should I pay for it?
It's a test to see if the designer can follow simple instructions, has a enough talent to follow a simple task and make it work with the confines of my site and stops me having to sit on ICQ all night looking at sites I have no idea how they arrived at the designs.
A lot of "Designers" are layout artist who can use Photoshop. They follow out the instructions of the client, he has the design talent.
Hitting me up on ICQ or giving me a link here without the samples shows me you do not want to work the way I need. And shows everyone else the same.
Of course any designer who thinks otherwise is welcome to not apply for the job.
This is not a tough task for any competent designer.
