Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cathix" data-source="post: 2323512" data-attributes="member: 32370">I've done quite a bit of low cost logo work for the pdf publishing community this year. I'd be happy to help you too - take a look at our website and some of the samples on the graphics page. Send me an email if you want to talk about working together: <a href="mailto:siretokkor@yahoo.com">siretokkor@yahoo.com</a>.We also contributed the logo for the 2005 ENnies Awards.Also, if I design a logo for you, you'll own the rights.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> As for art and illustrations, so far I've been able to subcontract really talented folks who are willing to work on royalties only. I do not own the rights to their work, and they can turn around and sell the illustrations to someone else if they choose. Established artists generally don't want to work this way, which is understandable - but there are so many extremely talented people who are willing to do low-cost work to get their name out there. I visit the website epilogue.net, and other sites like it, and if I see an artist whose work I think will go well with a project I send them an email. In that very first email I describe Dog Soul's rates of pay, so there's no beating around the bush. I've yet to have any response - yay or nay - that's discourteous or unfriendly. People appreciate honesty. Also, a lot of artists who only accept up-front payment have told me 'give me a buzz when you can afford my rates, I'd like to work with you.' I appreciate building a contact list, because in the future I really want to pay the people who work with Dog Soul more generously!I find that locating artists myself and contacting them directly works very well, in addition to posting an open call on a board. Good luck with finding people, and contact me if you're interested in the logo.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
