Thanks for your support HMT

I am a graphic designer with web experience with a knoledge of cars and related parts. Are you interested in some graphics? Are you willing to pay decent? Even if you do not pick me, please don't screw your graphic designer over and decide to pay him 100 bucks for your website or go to a lower bidder after the work has been done, as I have been screwed like that several times and it's ------- frustrating. It doesn't happen in any other profession so please don't pull that on the designer you choose.


What basicaly happens about 98% of the time is the design gets finished, the website owner wants you to teach them how to develop and maintain their whole website, they nitpick everything, they don't want to pay anything for the art as they just decide that they can have little jimmy down the street do it for a few trips to the icecream truck and the person who put all of this work into a website gets screwed.

This would be like someone asking you to design a crazy one off manifold for their car, have you build it, ask you to install their turbo kit and teach you how it works and how to maintain your car, decide the manifold costs to much, bail out, never pay the guy who did the work and then have some local guy you know do it for a case of beer because you decide its cheeper.

I'm not saying that you're going to do any of this what so ever, but this honestly is usualy always the case. I've been fucked out of designing ---- for people several times after I have completely finished their website just because they expect me to maintain it for free, teach them how to maintain it theirselfs, set up everything for them and then they think the job is worth 150 dollars with the main website, business cards, etc, which is a ------- joke. Things of the sort have happened with contests here and you coming here to ask for a graphic designer is showing you're looking at taking the cheep way out of getting this done. So please don't do that, it ------- sucks when it happens.

I spend all day writing up estimates and engineering electrical systems for people. Alot of tmes they walk away with a free drawing and itemized estimate and take it to "Joe Dirt Electric" who works out of his 72 Gremlin with a ladder rack on it and is willing to do the job for .25 of the price. I hate that ----!.... maybe that’s why I'm so bitter at work and come off like such an ------- while on this site :-\

Good luck Mike!

Mike is in no way, shape, or form connected with either Custom Coach of China, or hotrex. ;)

My friend's cousin knew of a guy who thought he knew this one guy who did graphic design. I can do it if you want. You'd be amazed the hidden capabilities of MSpaint. My daughter is pretty good at drawing since she won a coloring contest at a local Tumbleweed's restuarant. She only had 4 crayons to use also. ---- would make Davinci ---- a dead Estonian male prostitute it's so mind blowing. :S Oh I also took some graphic arts classes in high school ten years ago so I know all the latest programs too.

hotrex is just about the only person who's ever paid me for the work they've asked for.
