Why do shitty designers do this?
 

I send everything and they say "I'll do it in 2 days" They disappear for 2 weeks and come back with a crap product. So I have them do it properly as it should be done. They finish, and after 3 weeks of bullshit, DEMAND payment IMMEDIATELY even though they ignored my icqs for weeks.

How is it okay that they fuck off and leave me hanging, but when I decide "nah fuck you I'll pay you when I feel like it" that's not kosher?

LMK TNX.

you should be using people with a reputation for delivering the goods, instead of someone you wont name...

Yea - what he said but meaner!

quoted for truth

Sucks when that happens.

where have you been? designers who deliver on time don't exist.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yeah it sucks but there are some designers left that do the job as promised and are pretty skilled.

Oh BradM, your mysogynistic gripes are your most endearing quality.

:1orglaugh

you answered your own question in your thread title ;) haha cause they
are "shitty designers"

You Asians and your fucking mind reading mind bending philosophical shit. No wonder you're all monks and peaceful.

And work with someone like you? A pissed off anti religion liberal fuckhead? I spend 4k a month on random outside design work and I won't give you a penny of it because I think you're an ass.

here are things you may retort with:
1) So what I don't need your business (lie)
2) I don't care you're an asshole too (true)
3) Yea well I'm going to call you names (go for it)
4) Gfy board personas aren't real, get over yourself! (see, I know you want the work and care. GFY personas ARE real)
5) something else stupid

It sure ain't easy to find a reliable designer these days.

There's a reason why those who are good are reasonably expensive and always busy

I've experienced a lot of hassle myself

let's SEE the design.. always nice with a good laugh :)

Awesome!

For those looking for some good deals, hit me up :winkwink:

PS if you really spent 4k a month on designs, you would have used a designer you are familiar with, are using regularly, etc... :1orglaugh

Oh, sorry I forgot the "you don't actually spend that" retort.

Show us the designs :error

designers are not the only ones doing that .. article writers, programmers and many others pull crap like that and their excuse is that their connection fucked up, the hard drive crashed their house burned, they were reposed, a natural disaster happened.... I am tired of all that bullshit .. I am looking different people to work for me...nuff of all the bullcrap! ...

dont ever use shitty designers!

Its why I have a designer on payroll. If and when he does that, he is gone.

haha.. classic... a complaint about shitty designers and a shitty designer whoring himself out for peanuts is the first to reply and give lectures on good business sense.


bottom line... most self employed people making under six figures a year are self employed because they are unemployable to begin with,... they don't like authority, they don't like rules, they don't like schedules, they don't like someone managing them etc with and that's part of what you have to deal with when dealing with that type of person.

Spill the beanos...

they don't like authoritaaaaaaaaay

I think you answered your own question in the thread title

That's the main reason why I just use in-house designers now.

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

if you spend 4k month on designs. why not hire an inhouse designer to work for you full time. I would think you could even find someone part time for 2k month that would be reliable and better.

exactly. no one spends 4k a month on random design work from random designers :1orglaugh

on a side note lets see the bunk works!

I'll take part of that 4k :D

Designers are hit and miss.

When you do find a good one, make sure you pay him/her a little bonus
now and then. They wont fuck you over so much lol. Most of the people
you are trying and using probably are overselling their time.

Good luck though.

Well you wrapped that up pretty nice and tight!

I'm scoring 0/6 on the PleasurePays Poll... what makes you think everyone on here does this full time or this is ALL they do? :error:error:error

wow, i can't believe I agree with you

Yeah.. thats the truth...

Sometimes finishing projects specially if you're working like 3 to 4 projects with almost the same turn around time is like reaching the finish line when you're still in the first lap.. It's just a matter of time management for the designers.. I, myself had my rough times when I can't finish a project on time. But at least let the client know what's up and you should set a standard for your self that you must at least finish 80% of all your projects on time.

Peace,

Designers who deliver a quality product on time are kept very close to the chest!
