Re: FLASH: Flash Designers Wanted<demos>

[Al Rosetti]

Hey, this is a little bit off the subject of Flash but since everyone is

debating ethics and contracts I have a serious question.  When a potential

client asks you to make a "demo" are you getting screwed?  I mean, heck the

odds of getting any particular job are relatively low and if you spend your

time making demos for free that's a waste.  However, if you really want the

job you'll go the extra mile so.....  I'm lost on this one.  What's the

industry standard... Demo or no Demo?  I feel like if I say "no way!" I've

lost the deal.... but if I say "sure, my time is free," I'm wasting my time.

I mean heck, I probably won't get it anyway because I'm competing against a

dozen companies. The reason this is on my mind is that I JUST did a home

page demo for a comic book company.  I can't pinpoint where it's coming from

but I get the vibe that they are not going to use me for the project.  In

other words.... I wasted a lot of time for nothing.  So, what do you guys

do?
