You’ve got to be kidding me with some of the scope of work to price on production job postings I’ve seen. I think fiverr and upwork have been so detrimental to clients living in reality about pricing high quality creative work that you see absolute highway robbery budgets for a shit ton of work.

Client: 20-40 short form edits a month (references are all super detailed edit work + motion gfx) and they want the average price of a video to be sub $100.

This isn’t the 1950s anymore ladies and gents where you’re filling a grocery cart for $15.

This is where Contra stands above every other job board platform because despite seeing some postings on here that are living in lalaland, it’s not fiverr where you actually have the majority of jobs being outsourced for literal dollars and driving down what the work is worth industry wide.

Either way though, you get what you pay for and there’s nobody doing work for these prices outputting consistent great quality which is why you see these same clients with ridiculous turnover and always looking for new editors

Some people are wild out there

[New Project] I was walking through São Paulo when I spotted a newly opened bar called Cajá. The bar had no logo, no sign, nothing—but it did have one thing: a cheerful bird singing upstairs. That became the primary inspiration for this logo and the project's overall design. As this was a personal project, I had freedom to explore new possibilities, but I also faced the challenge of being my own client and finding myself in a position familiar to designers: never feeling that the work is truly finished.

Being your own client is such an accurate way to put it, that's exactly the trap. The bird stamped across the napkins and bread cloth already feels lived in. What made you finally decide it was done enough to post?
