Comments on: Spec work, anyone? http://www.no-spec.com/archives/spec-work-anyone/ To educate the public about speculative (spec) work Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:18:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Akiba http://www.no-spec.com/archives/spec-work-anyone/comment-page-1/#comment-9239 Akiba Fri, 14 Sep 2007 17:00:08 +0000 http://www.no-spec.com/archives/spec-work-anyone/#comment-9239 Hello I am from Philadelphia, Pa and I feel that the points made are very valid. In addition, I feel that if you have a portfolio and you are just starting out walk the streets and actually go into small businesses. Present your work with a price list already printed and inquire if the business needs anything done. This has worked for me on many occassions when I was just starting out. And I agree never sell yourself cheap. I was watching a reality show about restaurants opening and the price the restaurant paid for their logo was $100,000. And the logo was just 3 letters in a basic font. 100- 200 dollars for a logo I feel is way to low. If you are starting I feel you should at least begin pricing in the thousands for logos. A logo lasts for the duration of the business. And how would you feel seeing your design on a huge conglomerate's building, like trump and knowing they got you to do it for only 100 dollars.

Well, it’s a bit more than some of your articles. I read the majority as they contain good information :-)

Yes, I’m still in Thailand – I’ve just bought a condo so I’m digging in my heels for the long haul! This place certainly is amazing.
