Hi nairalanders i dont knw what to do to this guy.

I provide services fr logo/banner design here on NL
This guy name Below addes me on on whatsapp to give him a logo and banner design . After much bargianing we agree on 2k fr both services as in logo 1k banner 1k.

Well after we made and agreement i started his job . designing a logo fr him
he was online all through on whatsapp
when i design i show him with my company watermark on it that STYLEGRAPHIX.
We kept on chatting when i show him the designs he make correction then i make the correction he wanted ontill he got what he wanted as in satisfied with his company logo. afripina www.afripina.com
Then d next was d banner design he showed me samples and guidelines to follow in designing his banner. although we had issues with his dimensions bcus they where just so small that was leter resolve all these was done sunday 5 april 2015. In our agree we agree on payment on delivery as in I do the job before you pay
just to show my will to do his job.

Suprising to me after sending all what i have design to him with my watermark on it . bcus every off my client got to pay before i remove his or her watermark.
So after sending his his final logo and banner on monday 6 April 2015. He just message me on whatsapp that everything i did and have done us " not on point" .

I was like arrrrh no b dis guy i chat with yesterday when they agree with my designs.
I tried messaging him to explian more on the partucular place that not on point .
but my guys reads and recieves all my whatsapp messages. I message him agian so we could start a dicussion on whatsapp he did not reply even though he has recieve and read the message.

Well as a very patient guy i gave him 72hrs for any reply from him but non came.

So was no like abi this guy no hold bar now ?
or en no like wetin i design .

So i decided. to call him on phone but all he could say was " You are disturbing"
I called agian he said " you are distrubing my peace drop ur message on whatsapp" cuts d call , I was like : you are not replying neither are you online. And in d first place nah u con disturb my peace when u added me up on whatsapp for a design from me .

I was like is this the treatment i get from someone who I spent over 4hrs designing his stuff or who I have waited for over 5days chaii . I have been fooled by this . i just said i should let you guys know about this . Maybe someone here is also providing services for him. Abeg stay away from him . abeg

Not so good. He could at least pay half for all the work.

Too bad...

Congratulations, you now have a first-hand experience. What's wrong if he pays before you start?

Another way to go about this next time is to give the client a low resolution picture... One that can best be used for dp... Or even worse.

I've been there before, I don wise.

Ask clients to pay 30 or 50% before you start working on their projects and let them pay the rest afterwards.

What a bastard

How can you do so?
Gotten my first client for ecover design, asides watermark, how do I fix the resolution, making it impossible to rescale, without losing resolution in Gimp or photoshop?


Thanks
Nathclinton, have you googled the company name of the logo?
Check if he is using your work without permission.
For $10, you can take his website down.
Google DCMA for more info.
