I am glad the people I work with have the confidence or at least the FAITH in THEIR OWN decisions of trusting a desgner. Geez man, you guys make designers sound like crooks, not some, ALL OF THEM.
It's funny how the designer gets the bad rap, when I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone wasted days of my time talking to me about projects and blah bnlah blah, or everytime I have to CHASE DOWN clients for money.
I'm owed more than your rent right now ;)
And you want to know why I ask for money up front?
hahaha because there are WAY TOO MANY SCAMMERS AMONGST YOU.

I agree 100%. I've been screwed so many times and have wasted so much time with clients. Some of which are from this board. I think clients rip off the people that provide the service more than the other way around. It's just that we don't instantly come running to the board to bitch about it like the clients do. When I ask for a % up-front and the client is leary, I offer them references. If they are still leary after references then I know for sure it's not worth my time.
