I have recently taken the various opportunities to create flyers for a few events. I do this as a favor to those people asking, who happen to be friends of mine. I am doing this for free.
Situation: when one person (my friend) sent me some information about an upcoming event on the following flyer and asked me to play with it, I got excited! I like creating things like this, and it gave me something to do with my morning on Friday.
What she sent me originally:
What I created:
Now, again, I will reiterate. I am doing this for free. When the guy putting on the event comes to me last night, does he say 'Thanks, it looked great!'? No. He gives me a comment laced with attitude, 'Um, it was good but that was a Gibson guitar you put on the flyer. That's not good. It either needs to be a PRS guitar, since that's our sponsor, or an acoustic guitar since, it's "ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY." You need to change that.'
Um. Yea. Again, doing it for free. Be nice and say thanks, jerk. Second, your neice asked me to this and gave me limited info. Noone told me PRS was your sponsor until now. And, third- do I look like a music person? No. Do I play an instrument? No. Do I know what the hell PRS stands for? Yes, only because Google told me this morning. UGH. JUST BE GRACIOUS AND THANKFUL. Honestly, it's not that hard. I'll find you your freaking PRS guitar. And I'll make it look pretty. For free.
Why am I doing this again...?
