RE: FLASH: XP: Flash Work Arena

[Sienna Design]

Same here, jack of all trades but not by choice.  you get hired to do the

web pages only to find out your the secretary, tech support for their

clients who know nothing about their email programs and browsers... did I

fail to mention setting up an email program has nothing to do with a

webmaster, oh yeah, did I also mention you are requested to do the work of

the other employees who arent pulling their fair share?  Do yourself a

favour, BEFORE you accept a job, have it in writing exactly what's expected

of you then decide if you are being hired as a "designer" and NOT jack of

trades.


I run into clients who want something for nothing.  They see a flash site

and want you to do the same FOR FREE!  they think it can be done quickly.

sometimes I wonder if any of this designing is worth the hastle.  I'm a

beginner but am an artist by nature.. just desided to do my art digitally.


Funny thing is this.. doctors come to me wanting spectacular sites but

don't want to pay for it, I go to them when I'm sick and end up with a

$600.00 bill.. go figure.
