what do you think about LT if its has more choices than just making logos,, like packaging and stationery?
Its that good idea ?

I would like to get closer to perfecting the logo category before expanding into other areas for now. I think all will agree that although things work well enough, there is lots of improvements to be made.

:) i see

and think of this.

if you DO get to design stationary for the client after the logo you can charge WHATEVER you want! and not what they want! so you can charge the actual amount the work is worth! so its actually a good thing! YOU get to set the price:)

hmm alright :D

Packaging, stationery, and such gets a bit more problematic. There's usually a lot more work involved and it's spec work, so more time is spent with no guarantee of a payout. Logos are usually less involved.

yea that sort of thing would be much much much much harder to implement in this 'online contest' style of designing. and as tyler said theres still alot of work to be done on perfecting what we have before we try to expand the site.
im not saying i think its a bad idea though =)

na,
leave it specialised, it will get too big to be enjoyable then,
you'll lose the small community feel and end up like 99,
maybe franchise/spinoff it and have separate site for
stationery and websites if you need to.

But I do like designing stationery, especially if designed the logo.
I give the Ch's the option and my price once I've won a contest.
(after you've also given them 875 different variations and formats of their logo)

yea thats what i do.
i mean... thats what i will do... when i win a contest.... =(

out of curiosity how many of them take you up on your offer blue?

If they need stationery they usually want me to do it too,
a lot don't need stationery straight away anyway.
since its usually American contests the exchange rate works in their favour.
I've won a couple of Aussie contests too which work out easier, and occasionally
organise printing too.

What part of Aus are you in bugy?
(Charcoal's just a short drive from me... small world)

I'm about 20mins out of a little town called Melbourne =)
im really excited about the idea of doing follow up work for clients, im hoping to get my first win soon so i can chase it up. i need all the experience i can get at the mo (im a student)

hmm the same as bugy i want to fill up my portfolio as well as the experience learning through competition i wonder if improving though well i am design student as well but i have just graduated :),, nice bluejet you actually organised the printing and stuff from contest,, i have seen 99 design but i havent become member yet? what its looks like in there anyway? is there no forum and mod?

oh by the way bugy are your name seems familiar i mean do you like to watch one piece? because there is one of the pirate character name bugy :D

never heard of it =)
i have used the name 'bugy' or 'ubugy' in online games for like the last... 8 years or so
