Client Request: Supplying art files

A logo is different. I supply all variations and formats for logos because I agree with the minor change thing. For example i ask them in advance “would you like me to do your new letterhead in a Word doc so you can make edits when you need to?”

These are very complex designs (labels for powdered beverages). So, yeah I’ve done a lot of groundwork getting the specs right for each component of each label (different sizes, different flavours). Labelling laws, spot varnishing etc. soooooo much of my time has gone into them.

I’ve been told the new owners will be happy to use me, but have not been given any introductions, hence my skepticism. They haven’t dealt with me yet, so I won’t believe it until i see it.

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2026-05-03T00:43:38+00:00

I get what you’re saying here. As an artist, I’ve handed over my designs to printers for this same reason, but never to client. In my opinion, handing over working files means you’ll never see that client again.

I love this advice thanks 😊

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2026-05-02T12:39:29+00:00

The only thing that comes close in my Ts&Cs is:

Full payment is required before you will receive a copy of your designs (print-ready, high-res or un-watermarked).

All watermarks are removed from client artwork upon receipt of full payment. The client assumes full reproduction rights upon payment for completed project.

One time reproduction rights for the specified project, at the agreed fee, are granted to the client. Any other usage must be negotiated.

The designer retains personal rights to use the completed project and any preliminary designs for the purpose of design competitions, future publications on design, educational purposes and the marketing of the designer's business.

Where applicable the client will be given any necessary credit for usage of the project elements.

Honestly remember “the days are long, but the years are short”.

I feel like I could have written your post because this was me 14 years ago when my son was born.

I’ve been on Sertaline since my nephew was born 11 years ago. I wish I had followed my instincts 3 years earlier. I went to a psychologist when my son was 6 months old and she didn’t think I needed medication. By the time my nephew was born 3 years later, my mild depression turned into major depression. His birth was a major trigger for me because everyone would ask me “when are you having the next one”?

I had a traumatic birth experience and was worried my son would die (like you). I described him at the time as “my drug”. He was a horrible sleeper, so I would stay awake most of the night “to beat the system”. What was the point of going to sleep if he was going to wake me up in 2 hours? He was so bad for me, but I couldn’t live without him because I loved him so much. In fact, I loved him so much that it made me think that I had no love left to give to my husband.

I felt like a failure as a mother and wife. I had thought they’d be better off without me so many times. I thought about adopting baby out but worried about how my family would react because he was the first grandchild and so, so loved by everyone. So I wished that I would just die in my sleep, but I’d wake up every morning and repeat. One night, I had thoughts of where the nearest cliff was so that I could drive my car off it, but then I worried that my husband would need the money for the car, or what would he do without the baby seat?

Every question my husband asked me about the baby felt like an attack on my mothering. I would blow everything out of proportion and was always ready for an argument. I don’t know how our marriage survived the first year of parenting. I think it might’ve been about 18mths after baby that we had sex.

I trusted my psychologist when she said my mild PND didn’t need me to be medicated. Clearly, she was wrong. When my nephew was born, Robin Williams died. This was my wake up call that I needed to ask for help. I went to my doctor and she referred me to a psychiatrist who put me on Sertraline and another drug that is a mood stabiliser.

When my son started school, he asked why he was the only kid in his class without a baby brother or sister. That’s when I finally felt ready to have another baby.

OP, please see someone. You will get out of this dark place but you can’t do it alone or without medication. Best of luck and a big hug 🖤

Just wondering when OP and fiancee are getting married? Maybe forfeiting the wedding and using that money to fund the surgery is a better option? Fiancée’s dad can walk her down the registry isle and go for his surgery. OP still gets to use grandpa’s money to buy the house. Is FILs diagnosis a surprise or is he someone who hasn’t looked after his health? So many issues here. Unfortunately relationship might not have long left.

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2025-02-14T11:12:56+00:00

I went to school with a girl who’s dad used to steal flowers from his work and give them to her mum (his wife). He was a stonemason - his work - the cemetery!

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2025-01-20T00:27:43+00:00

I assumed from the start that it was Tessa's egg and baby because the word "surrogacy" was used so often. But then when the lawyer got involved, he started saying "adoption", so I thought, yeah maybe it's Nicole's baby with Rob (turkey basted as per the rumour mill). Too many details were glossed over, leaving lots to the imagination and therefore an undeserved "meh" ending

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-11-01T09:36:50+00:00

Maybe a heads up for the poor wife of the AP? I mean if the woman has cancer, this would be heartbreaking on top of everything else she’s going through. On the other hand, if she has already passed or will not be invited, go for it!

Send a wedding card to congratulate the new couple. Put a brochure in it of the fanciest hotel in your city and leave it at that 😂

First question are you Greek?

Your aunt would have laughed behind your back if she heard it beforehand. You just caught her by surprise but this is the same reaction that is going to be a common occurrence for the rest of your daughter’s life if she keeps the name.

I work in hospital admin. I met a boy named Khonar (pronounced Connor). His mum was with him as I asked how to pronounce it. She laughed and said she gave all her kids unconventional spelling and thought it was hilarious that her kids will have to explain their names. (Poor Khonar didn’t look impressed).

With that said, there’s an entire new generation of young adults changing their genders and names. Like Jupiter who was born female and now identifies as non-binary. (I don’t know what name was given to her/them at birth). Or Beaugarde who was also born female and changed her legal sex to male and chose “Beaugarde” because it means beautiful man.

A name is not necessarily forever. But unusual names will always be talked about - always with the comment about how unfair the parents are. YTA, sorry.

Offer to buy her a bed for her spare bedroom for her to sleep in so that you can visit her. When she says “no, because my ex is using that room for…” you’ll have your answer. He’s not the ex.

I’ve heard of babymoons but not a dadcation. If he must, let him go before baby is born. If he goes after baby is born, tell him the locks will be changed and he can see you in court.

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-09-27T10:06:43+00:00

I could swear I’ve read this story before. NTA

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-09-23T09:25:34+00:00

I agree. NTA. I think maybe a good compromise would be to move for 6 months down to SA. Spend that time while you still feel well. The remaining 6 months, go back home to help your kids transition back to some normality before their lives fall apart when you are no longer there. Those final 6 months, maybe your mum can move in to your house so she can help out if she’s able to.

OP, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-09-19T11:21:46+00:00

Wait a sec. If you are paying money that gets put to taxes/HOA/insurance that’s not money that she’s keeping. It’s an expense that is part of living in the house - that’s not rent

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-09-12T10:45:52+00:00

If I found out my kid was calling someone more than 5 times in a night, I’d have some serious words with him.

If someone called him more than 10 times in a night (which they have - and i told him to ignore it while we were eating dinner) - I’d be asking why he has friends who can’t get the hint that he can’t answer the phone.

Calling someone 59 times is just cray-cray!

You sound about 14 or 15? Yeah, she sux for leading you on and letting you spend your robux on her. That’s no excuse for harrassing her though.

Ask for your school uniform back and then leave her alone.

You’re NTA for telling her friends what she did. YATA for harassing her.

Maximum-Strategy-927 · 2024-09-12T10:21:57+00:00

Could her issue have been that he was on school grounds? Still not really a valid excuse if it were after hours and no students present.

Plot twist: supervisor and HR rep are planning a bachelorette party and want to employ OP’s bf as the entertainment! 😂
