hiring a designer is not like dating
Caveat up front: we can’t pay a lot, and for that, I am deeply sorry. But we will work out some compensation, and we’d love to establish a relationship going forward that could turn into something more. It’s like dating. Try ‘em out for a bit: see if you like us, see if we like you, then maybe we’ll get serious and you can meet our parents and shit.
no, it’s not really like dating at all.
it’s more like you’re paying for someone’s skill (that they’ve already invested a lot of time in) and their additional time spent doing your shit instead of say, having fun or doing their own shit.
it may be like dating for you, but it’s like business for us.

What is with this attitude of people wanting creative services for free? If you don’t want pay for it, do it yourself....

Well said. I get tired of people acting like graphic designers have so much to prove. I get that sort of thing a lot.
