So true. Gosh. Kind of the same, but different, for people contacting designers saying only "I want a logo, or "something", designed. How much?" without any context. Like we're just sitting around and can pop stuff from a hat. It's as if some folks think we're all mind readers.
Plsdo not email an agency for representation saying only: “I want more work, get me work” (actual email I received) - having an agent doesn’t guarantee work folks, it helps and it opens you up to a new audience, but we are not just sitting here with a bag of jobs under the desk.
