Are there any reliable designers left in the industry?
 

rare breed, I deal with flakes constantly :(

Oh yes.
Of course.
Indeed.
I know of one.
Yes yes of course sure.

As you know every designer has their own style. Pay a small amount of money to several "designers" to have them submit to you their concepts. Have them also set up with the "carrot and stick", a completion bonus and a heavy penalty for missing various deadlines.
Never waiver from the penalty, regardless of the excuse.

Good luck!

There are a few left around who can handle anything without flaw, on time, and quite well.

The problem is finding reliable clients.

what industry?

They are out there, but like good programmers, there are not many.

I contacted you for design, you didn't reply... that help?

Exactly. :thumbsup

Also spoke to my associate and said he be back in touch in a day or two with some work and never heard back.

As I said finding good clients is hard to find. :error

Wow bro, that sucks!

I have one who's going on a year now without making contact. Paid me $1500 of a $3500 project which has been completed and sitting here for 10 months. He's not responded to emails or phone calls. And the other vendors for this particular project have had the same issues.

I'm the only one who has all his content, along with all the license and ID paperwork. I'm considering putting the content to work to recoup.

I bang about some amazing designs with MS paint.

Skype me and ill set you up with some mainstream folks that do some great work.

We have full-time designers, but as far as project based guys....1

in all these years I have 1 guy thats amazing design wise and technically, NEVER takes on more work than he can handle so as not to delay his clients and is extremely reasonable. We must throw him a couple thousand a month in side projects. He's the only steady one Ive ever found.

Once you find one...Treat them right. They are few and far between :)

Czarina is great and does not outsource her work. She does it herself.

Have never outsourced. Havent been around much though either.

I recently teamed up with a smart dude that is amazing at programming and web development. Way better than I ever have been. I have him working on a couple sites of mine while I do other things. Blowing my mind with his shit.

I shouldnt even mention the Forum he built from scratch thats retardedly innovative.

I and I doubt anyone here has seen the likes of the forum he built.



So, I guess... are you talking graphics or development?

I've been around for almost 11 years now. Please let me know if my style works for you.

Thanks,

Mark, I'm sending my guy your way. He's stellar.

"Are there any reliable designers left in the industry looking for a job" should be the question :)

If you need banners of any kind flash included. I can help you with that part. No problem. :thumbsup:thumbsup

Yes me! Web design and development is my real job. I don't want to spam the forum but I can give anyone my portfolio in PM. Plus I'm really nice and easy to work with :) Most of my Portfolio is non-porn but I have designed a few porn sites and gallery's etc

Sent you a email.
