You gonna design something? :-)

stand did you even read the thread or just post your url???

Whats the prize?

Not being a dick but a prize to have a design ad in a trade mag?
That is really kinda a weird proposition...

Wheres da Monay?
Unless The winner gets to have his design company on the ad?

Nah thats still not it.

I dont get it.

:1orglaugh

He said .....

Ahh well good luck to da winners.

SplitInfinity got me busy enough anyways:)

What kind of time deadline are we looking at here? I know you said you need it by morning, but we've already shut down the studio and I'm about to head home for the night. I can probably do something first thing in the morning but it depends on what time you need it by.

I'm with stupid.

DUH??? :winkwink:

OK.. Chris can't be bothering his ass doing his ads for recognition at the next Xbiz awards, so can someone do it for him - for nothing?? :1orglaugh

I doubt you will get anything good for that price... but good luck to you ;)

LOL


They said to me that the deadline is tomorrow morning..... thats all I know...
I assume if we get it by 11am PST it will be ok....

But the sooner the better....

Webby - I already said the person I choose will get a fully paid contract.
This is a last minute thing and an opprotunity for designers to showcase their work.

Hey Webby.... you read and talk like an addict.... get out of my threads little man.

You did not specify the "paid" part. :)

Well, that depends on the designers rates.....
If they are fair market value and meet that of their work, then all is good. :-)

So let me see if I get this right, you want an ad designed FOR FREE, then you want to hire the designer to do a full ad campaign for you ONLY IF THEY DO IT FOR THE PRICE YOU WANT? :1orglaugh

Man, put down the pipe...

Did you speak CJ? :1orglaugh

That was one of these little details you missed - about the "fully paid contract". Although you did promise something about using the winner for an ad campaign. I'm impressed! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The winner will get my contract.... Im just saying dont rape me on the price is all. :-)

This is just tooooooooo much!!

"So let me see if I get this right, you want an ad designed FOR FREE, then you want to hire the designer to do a full ad campaign for you ONLY IF THEY DO IT FOR THE PRICE YOU WANT?

Man, put down the pipe..."

So you are a designer right? And you want work, right?
Well we have a huge project and we want people to show us their shit.... that simple.
Lets see how you rate DamageX, up for the challenge? :-)

Seriously now... I have over 6 months worth of design work backlogged
and I want someone GOOD at PRINT and WEB BOTH! So fine.... do the ad
if I like the damn thing, ill pay for it. If not, then you suck and well.... I wont use it.
Simple as that. :-) I just want to stop beating around the bush with designers...
I have dealt with soooo many and I have to tell you, if you are good, then great....
But my experience has been negative with lots of GFY designers... except Alien of course.

If i pay you $8k - you pay me $7.5k...deal??? :winkwink:

494 posts and you think you understand the boards eh? :-)
LOL

Whatever you say, twink-y !!

I doubt you will get anything if you can´t pay for it!!

It would serve well to do this really.
Getting a print ad design in a trade mag is no biggie but has some indirect measure for promotion in spots not economical to buy into.

But I know Split guys have alot of work backed up for design. I am locked on a project with em already. I might be done in another week to take more:)

Hell just contact em and get you're portfolio over to see and if ya do not like the terms of this move on. For some designers its a good start to get yer work seen out there:)

I am not a fan of the trade mags most of ya know this but the exposure is always nice or useful from time to time.

"I doubt you will get anything if you can´t pay for it!!"

Who said I cant pay for it n00b. Read my comment above "Seriously now... I have over 6 months worth of design work backlogged

I don't do challenges. I get paid. If you want work done by us, I will be happy to quote you, upon providing me with a project description. Otherwise, sorry, I have pretty much all my staff tied up for at least a week and I won't drag anyone out of bed for challenges.

No, I am not a designer. I am a marketer and I run a design shop.

Stop making an even bigger fool out of yourself than you already are. Do yourself a favour and get out of this thread. You're out of your league.

If that's the case it makes you wonder why the hell you are trying to get any designer to start work in the middle of the night and work for nothing, but in the hope you may just provide a "paid contract" of unknown value and terms.

Sheesh.. nothing changes eh? :1orglaugh

"DamageX
Failure is NOT an option!"

Ok, Im down... lets talk quotes.... However I do wanna see samples of your work, if ya dont mind. :)

Ill throw ya a project... I have lots of them.

Anyone else down?

"If that's the case it makes you wonder why the hell you are trying to get any designer to start work in the middle of the night and work for nothing, but in the hope you may just provide a "paid contract" of unknown value and terms.

Thought someone would find it fun, and I have a deadline to meet....
And yes, things change.... for example.... your loser status keeps growing daily Webby. :-) Back at cha hater.

I'd be more concerned about your "loser status" - over the years. :1orglaugh

The sun does not just rise and set in the USA.Plenty of designers all over the world.

Australians are near the end of the day.
Asians are running around looking for somthing to do.

And in just a while EU starts getting up in there Morning, starting with the Russians then on to England and by this time tomarrow morning American designers will see it for breakfast.

I didn't know that.. Ya never stop learning eh? :winkwink:

Let's cyber, hit me up on ICQ, 1566665. :)

Webby, I have no idea why you hate so much.... I will let you continue to do so, you amuse me. So therefore its like you have entertainment value. Im done responding to you. I won't acknoweledge your asanine remarks any further.

I hope its good;)

Kinda weird to have a free offer for design then wonder why ya wouldnt take a stab at this:)

Good luck bud, hit me up anytime if ya like as well.
Believe it or not I like to help fellow designers or at least keep in touch with em.

SplitInfinity this thread defenatly doesn't help you biz wise, you look like a total idiot.

"Hate" you??? :1orglaugh

I don't hate ya! I just kinda despise the attitude you initiated this thread in the hope that some poor sod would get to work for you for nothing in the hope of getting some claimed "credit" of producing artwork and the vague promise of a "paid contract".

It might be an idea to get a clue on copy dates and pay a designer to produce a decent job without all the "promises", "design contests" and bullshit.

And... good luck on getting your artwork finished on time! :thumbsup
