Whilst researching keywords on the Google Keyword Tool for a post on Design Soak, I somehow stumbled upon a very depressing fact:
There are 135,000 global monthly searches for the term “Free Logo Designer”.
How little respect people have for designer’s like myself who try to make a living from our skills.
The term ‘Free Brain Surgeons’ doesn’t get many queries. Funny, that…

Interesting find! sad truth! just as I was reading this post I had a client asking me to design him business cards with a watermark at the back and if he liked it he would pay me…. you dont ask a million chefs to cook your dinner and the one who does the best job gets paid do you?

Times are a changin’!. People are always looking for a deal over quality of work. It is what it is though, people looking for good work will find you in the long run.

Strange that the competition is so high for that phrase also. I wouldn’t have thought so many people were keen to work for nothing?
