On the 20th November, I received an email on the student account with an oppertunity to design a logo which is displayed on the side of a van - and a fully paid job.
I was interested in this, and asked fellow student Emily Patrick if she wanted to work on it with me as we had a lot of university work to do. This could also work in the clients favour as we could get the work done twice as fast!
I emailed back and got this response:
I contacted Sid, and he sent over some images of the van and explained briefly what he'd like us to do.
I made sure that we were to be paid, and tried to secure a price before we started work. I talked to Emily and we agreed that £75 each was a fair price, plus any extra for changes etc.
I contacted Sid with these prices, but unfortunately he still hasn't responded. He may have found somebody else to do it for cheaper, but its quite disheartening to not get a reply.
I'm taking this as a learning curve for freelance work, and it's shown me that it can be quite difficult to work with clients when you're competing against others.
