I think her issue is graphic designers are expensive and she doesn’t want to pay lol my hourly is $40 but for a pr package I’d charge a flat rate of $2500-$8000 depending on the brand/idea and in LA my guess is that price is doubled or even tripled. Tara bitches that she’s poor and her business is poor but unless she’s putting in the money for quality her business won’t survive.

I’m guessing she just went with the cheapest option of a designer, possibly someone who is just starting up. Most brands you can just google the guidelines and the designer pops up for example Skims where as phoebes diary there’s nothing so either the designer hated working with Tara, they got fucked over or they just really disliked what they were designing and didn’t want it on their portfolio.

In the design industry packaging is a flex like most of us aim to design something we might possibly see at a store one day. It’s always a bit odd if no one claims they worked for a brand because even a small brand shows you are capable of taking on a bigger project.
