[SE] Why you should consider no other designer but me.

First off, I mean no offence to any of the rival designers that appear in the sale threads. I am merely creating an example out of the un-orthadox attitude I have come across.

I have a growing iTrader, but even still I would want to reassure you that you are dealing with a designer who is just out to design and nothing more.

I have a portfolio and it displays my work correctly, using the Lightbox technology. All my contact details are there on my website, aswell as a small introduction about myself. View it at scarletedition.com

I know grammar, spelling and punctuation pretty well, but let me tell you, I am not perfect. Know what your getting, when your getting it and what prices at the very least in our transaction. I'm available on all of the common messengers throughout the main portion of the day, so talk to me one-on-one without hassle.

I am currently looking to take on any graphic design tasks you may have. This includes logos for print/web, website projects, advertisement designs and more. I can also arrange XHTML/CSS W3C Compliant tasks for you.

Create your own deal and feel good about our transaction. You are giving me money and I want to respect that fact, so in return I hope that the end product is what you desire.

By no means, I am 'cheap' as it were. I do not do 'Banner desgns 4 $5' - I design website templates, created in .PSD format, layered and named in sets for $150.00 as a base price.

Just hit me up and we will talk.

Regards,
Scarlet Edition

 

I also have problems with that here, people are choosing quantity before quality

 

You have wrongfully used the fact that I was banned to promote your own services. I was banned for bumping a thread, and now I am back on the forums. That is a very bad form of promotion mate. You should be ashamed.

My work is of quality, so I don't see how you can present it as otherwise. That is my old portfolio, my new one is here.

 

At first I thought you were making a good point, but the fact that you're promoting yourself with it is just shamefull.

You really should be ashamed of yourself. Its like Sky telling customers that it has Sky one while Virgin do not. I'm pretty sure that form of advertising isn't allowed, and that fact that you've done it just makes me

In the future I would advise to advertise your services without the expense to others. If you're portfolio is good enough and your prices reflect your work, then people will hire you.

"I mean no offence..." well sorry but you've caused it.

 

There is no reason to launch negative campaigns against other designers like this. I agree with some of what you said, but it would have been much more tasteful to strip out links and usernames so you weren't attacking someone specifically. If you'd like to promote your services, then promote your services... don't try to make yourself look better by making others look worse.

As a DP designer, I take offense on the behalf of those attacked. That was low.

 

Hey,on your website,there's this design called 'AnimeBakery',did you have some inspirations to design it?

 

portfolio link gives a 404. Indicative of your design experience?

I agree with what others have said...negative campaigning is bad. I'm also a web designer/programmer (been programming for 17yrs/web stuff 6yrs) and never have I resorted to negative campaigning against other designers. Just build "quality" and customers will come.

There's enuf work for all of us.

 

And now to deal with the hating I expected to recieve.

Wrongful fact? You proposed your services to a client, expecting them to consider you with a banned account. With that at hand, you did not even explain yourself in the thread thereafter with your new account, that it was un-professional for you to request the work. That is un-orthadox and you cannot justify yourself for that. Also, if you are ignorant enough to think that I am just using you (it's all about you), for my promotion, you are sadly mistaken. On another note, it is not upto you to say your work is quality, hence proving my prediction of you being naive from the truth.

Your judgement is also a naive one and your quest to compare me to the media companies stated is un-intellegent as your judgment upon myself. Your opinion about my portfolio being good enough is valid to an extent, but it would of been better if you backed yourself up. If I have offended you, good. Take it on board, don't take it to heart.

Yet another poster who comes across a thread, scans and expresses a five-second opinion. Please. A 'campaign against other designers' is where some random person launches a thread with the sole-intention to p*ss other designers off and have the motive of nothing thereafter the event. That is not what I am doing. Can you make a good definition of this thread? For real?

Lol, please, I need to read no further.

Pointing out poor effort isn't wrong. Creating knowledge upon your own naive opinion is. Thankyou for your time.

 

$150 base price based on the work in your portfolio is too much in my eyes. I know many other designers who could give a truely spectacular design for that amount.

 

"You reap what you sow."

You've misspelt "receive" too

 

You can not blindly claim to be the best. There are plenty of skilled members here.

Let us tell who is best and not yourself.

 

"I have a website! I can talk about myself! I can copy Lightbox codes to make my stuff look pretty! I write well! Hire me!"

Just FYI, claiming to be a professional, throwing your nose up at people who charge $5 for a banner, and then proceed to say that you charge $150 for templates is laughable. But of course, a person who actually charges a professional fee for their templates wouldn't be putting down their competitors, since a professional would know exactly what not to do to get bad press.

ps: on the same point: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=360052
Hilarious. Don't patronize people for underselling.

pps: And of course, 'all of my contact information' means all of your IM usernames. Why am I not surprised?

 

I agree with others. You are basically saying to viewers that all other designers on DP are terrible. Well they are not. Its a clever way of advertising. Well not clever. But basically you are saying "Every other designer is terrible. I can give you the service they are all rubbish at" which by all means isn't true. And also about Ryans point. MANY people can give an AMAZING design for $150 on here. I sadly do not think yours may not stand up to that level.

Thanks

 

You just guaranteed yourself little business on this forum due to your negative attitude. Good going.

 

Out of interested, if you expected the hatred why did you even bother to advertise your services in this way? Thats a pretty stupid way to go about advertising, and FYI the fact that they are media giants is irrelevant, its the point of the matter and how unethical your business approach is.

 

You're a disgrace Scarlet Edition. You promote yourself to be a good designer, and you say we cannot do the same? I cannot express personal opinion about my own design?

Nacrotix was spot on when saying that your business approach is totally unethical.

Think about what you're doing here. If I were you, I'd probably get a mod to delete this thread, and concentrate on the quality of my own work over trying to bad-mouth the work of others.

 

Ahah, what do you know about how much is too much.

Where at any point have I 'claimed to be the best' - laughable to quote from nothing.

Yes you know all the answers and sarcasm is the best way to deal about things. Please save your posts as they seriously mean nothing. Showing a thread about my other design sale is also laughable, so what do you hope to achieve from that, haha! Where is the patronizing held? Yet again, quoting from nothing except your own personal view.

This is not a discussion thread, no-one said anything about the other designers, you are all travelling on your own carousel wheels creating assumptions about my post when you know nothing about my motives or the person I am. There is so much bullsh*t here, it is truly remarkable. I am apparently egotistical, not a good designer, attacking every designer on Digital Point and are not worth any of my prices.

Yeah that's why I have had requests from here already? Please.

What's relevant is the fact that your comparision isn't right just because you say it is.

Hahaha, please be quiet.

More hate please, your just proving the fact that you are a bunch of one-minded, ill-mannered, nothing better to do but post in threads to look big and express your own opinion because it's OBVIOUSLY right designers.

 

Scarlet, when you have a valid response please share it, untill then, shut up.

 

Sorry, I didn't realize you couldn't understand me. I'd dumb it down for you a bit, but I don't like feeding trolls. Your words speak for themselves.

 

sorry scarlet, but i think everyone else is right here, you just ruined your reputation as a designer, saying other designers are bad except for yourself is disgraceful, and if they choose to make $5 per logo, then they can.

Whos getting the business?? Them, Or You??

They are, because they are not putting them down, designers here know that people want cheap logos, so they make cheap logo, therefore getting more business. Maybe you should go elsewhere.

And btw, those templates are nice, but definitely not worth $150, or even $100
