Why is it that we are one of the few industries that people expect something for nothing? We are expected to put in a days work for people like this that wouldn't accept 20 pounds for a days work themselves. I apologise but my blood is boiling a little.

What an absolute joke! So now somebody has done it for £20 and makes the whole industry look like a joke. How is anybody supposed to compete with that and still be able to feed and cloth themselves?

Brings me onto my next point - the amount of people who have photoshop and assume I can do Graphic Design is just ridiculous. I own a hammer and a saw, yet I don't claim to be joiner! If only we could track these people down and smash their computers into a thousand bits, then we might start getting paid what we are actually worth!

I completely agree mate. And what made me laugh was the way he got angry because we didn't think much of his offer!

It gets me angry, and then I just think - those idiots working for peanuts wouldn't get anywhere near the kind of clients I work for or want to work for. The world of 'graphic designers' who only know photoshop and actually have no design training at all is like a horrible parallel universe that I have no desire to become involved with.
