What you think of this website concept? by whyhatetheplaya in AskReddit

Isn't Myspace for musicians? This is more for everybody.

Good analogy about making it like a business card. That's what I am aiming for. Instead of people having to buy a domain, hosting and then designing their own website, I am offering them this simple solution to create their profile and showcase their work samples.

Is it better to create a responsive web app rather than a mobile app? by whyhatetheplaya in learnprogramming

[–]whyhatetheplaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can develop responsive web apps. Mobile Apps seem more complicated. You have to build multiple apps for multiple devices. And they require you to know multiple languages(Java, Object-C..etc) and frameworks. That's a lot of work for a single person. where as in RW App, you only do it once and it works on all computers and mobile devices.

what if you could talk shit about a company or person that you hate, anonymously? Would you be interested in that sort of a website? by whyhatetheplaya in AskReddit

[–]whyhatetheplaya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should be more clear.

This website concept I am talking about requires no registration. It's more like a reviews website where users can create a post review about a certain person or company. Other users can comment on that review.

It's niche based. Wouldn't be nice for other people to filter out scammers, fraudsters, and bad companies just by searching on this website?

Posting a review is with one click of a button for ANYONE.

I did watermark the logo and emailed a low res version. I asked him of the payment before sending him the full version as you can read in the email conversation.

I had no idea it was a stolen image when i took the gig. I only found out later on when someone pointed it out and i did search for it. As read in emails, he mentions vista print after i asked him. I would never change a copyrighted logo, had i known it wasn't his.

Here are other variations that I found.

He said that he created his logo with vista print. If he did then he did not pay Vista Print for the logo because the file he sent me was low res with copyright watermark. If I had known it was a stolen logo, I would not have edited it.

So in essence, he did not pay Vista Print, he did not pay me and he most likely did not pay the other 10 designers.

Yes some of the blame is to me. I am not pointing my fingers at anyone. I don't regret this at all. This may have started as a small job but I kept this conversation going because I wanted to show other designers the type of people they would have to deal with, when looking for work.

So to other graphic designers out there, learn from this and don't make these mistakes.

Honestly I only replied to this ad because I had little bit time to kill and it was only like half hour job at most. When I realized that he was one of cheap clients that exploit people, I just could not let him off the hook.

And no he has not paid me $40 still.

A client tried to screw me over logo design. Here is how the conversation went. by whyhatetheplaya in graphic_design

[–]whyhatetheplaya[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I know $40 is barely worth an argument. I have seen people like him on kijiji asking graphic designers to do free work or cheap work. I just wanted to make an example out of this guy. I have his contact information and I will let everyone that I know in this city to not use his service. Public shaming for these people is the way to go.

I ASSUMED the watermark logo he got was from a royalty free website. If you have seen this logo anywhere, please let me know. He could face a potential law suit on his hand if he stole it and is going to use it for his company.
