Re: Client wants Editable File, Advice Needed
by Todd at Fantastic Plastic on Mar 3, 2008 at 9:30:05 pm

I stand by my previous comment (and everyone else's) which is basically "don't give your design away for nuthin'"....

BUT, you never know what may happen.

Case in point....

Our art director has a separate graphics company, and for several years she produced a gigantic (several hundred pages) catalog for a company that sold products via their website.

This year she has learned that an employee at the client's company is attempting to take her last-years' Quark files and re-do the project himself for this year's version. From all accounts, this guy is a complete and total yahoo... and keeps his job pretty much purely based on the fact that he is the owner's grandson, incompetent or not.

The art director has already fielded several calls of the "Ummmm... how do you do such-and-such..." variety, for which she charges a premium for her sage advice. I wouldn't be surprised if in the end she doesn't wind up making more from "fixing" this guy's inevitable mess than if they had just let her do the job in the first place.

You never know....
