Well if there's one thing that's a constant in this business, it's the amount of people who download a copy of PS CS and consider themselves "designers" (NOTE This is not directed at you, k?).

These people charge very little, produce terrible work and it hurts us all in the long run.

Short term we might get a few more clients because they need the work re-done, but long term our rates go down, the expectation of the delivered product goes up (kinda like if the market dictated a BMW had to be sold for $5) and well, we're fucked.

Like I said, this isn't directed at you. I just hate to see people sell themselves short
