Honest to God, I've got a client who wants to get their logo done by:
(crowdsourcing)
Then they want me to take said logo, and design their stationery, brochures, and web sites around it.
I can't fucking believe it.

in fact, client sent me his top 5 choices and asked my opinion on which is best. via crowdspring btw.

Tell them you're going to start crowdsourcing clients.
You're going to take said clients and let anonymous nobodies determine their scope, budgets, timetables and projects.
They won't fucking believe it.

Solutions:
a) tell them you don't have the bandwidth for that
b) quote them 100 X (price paid for logo on 99designs)
c) ignore the request

according to their website 99designs do stationery and brochures too. I'd tell the client that if they get their logo done there, they should stay there.

But the contract to do the rest of the work is over $5k. Bit hard to turn down since cash has been short.
And I am curious what sort of cunty bit of shit they'll end up getting...

- Over $5k. Simple Wordpress site.boobs

fuck it, get as much money as you can, do the least amount of work as possible, spit out pieces to match the quality of the logo and fucking run with the cash

Well go into it with open eyes, cos if their logo is coming from that cess-pool I guarantee it's going to be a nightmare working with it and their requests.

i suppose it's not really that different from working with a clients that already have logos and are set in their ways - just that their pre-existing logo hasn't been made yet.

Charge said client 5K and crow source the job for 400 rupees.
O_O

5K? Do it and walk away... and never look back.

It's hard to be a pimp out there!
I tell you, I try to teach these bitches about good design, nice stuff, and all they want to do is go straight for the ugly trash and cheap liquor.
