Have you been asked to work for free in your graphic design business?
Do you feel like you need to work for free to get ahead with your graphic design business?
We’re noticing a not-so-good trend in facebook groups where graphic designers are offering their creative and intellectual property for free.
So we feel compelled to reach out and say…please don’t!
We are super passionate about this topic, and have jumped on our soap boxes to share why.
Free work is disguising itself in a few different ways and in our latest podcast we uncover a few of those sneaky ways, and discuss how you can avoid it.
In this episode we chat about doing free work:
- for friends and family
- to build up your portfolio
- as part of a job interview process
- as part of design ‘competitions’
- for charitable organisations
We mentioned Jim Fortin in this podcast—he is a transformation expert so be sure check out his work and podcast.
