hahaha, nike, zing.
so i suppose none of you wear nike.
Wow guys lets chill out here. Jordan is my best friend and is doing quite well for himself. He knows what he’s dealing with and is conscious of the prospective problems. you all have too much time on your hands.
You’re missing the whole point because your nose is SO FAR up Fishs Eddy’s ass. Wow. What are you trying to prove anyway? Your high blood pressure? Since when was being ignorant, tedious and stubborn the new ‘Triple Threat.’ Sheesh!
Get. A. Life.
disagree. the job paid a grand. take it or leave it

Maybe. But I bet we could think of *something* worse than somebody asking for a raise. Do you consider employees who form unions whiners?
Anyway, not sure why you bring it up cuz it sounds like most people on this board are just voicing concerns on behalf of some younger designers that haven’t been around the block a couple times.
When the design IS the product the designer deserves some royalties. It wouldn’t hurt fishes eddy to give the dude 5%.
It’s simple. Read the contract. You either agree or don’t agree.
Nothing worse than people who agree to a bad deal and then whine about it.
I wish my design was picked
the fact is with most design comissions IS work for hire, but there is a contract that usualy specifies length of time the design can be used, the applications that the design can be used on, and a accordingly charges a fair market value for the design.
$1000 is chump change. I haven’t seen the contract, but i bet it is for a complete design buyout and specifies that they can use that brooklyn drawing wherever they feel like it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we see it soon on teacups, holiday mailers, glassware, window displays, postcards, etc…
to the writer..stop being so damn grateful about being published…who’s doing whom the favor, really?
it’s understandable that some companies are startups and can’t afford to pay market value for the work, but don’t kid yourself about fish’s eddy. They’re no startup.
I hate it when companies who know better play lil’ po’ boy.
