How can I find a reasonable graphic designer with good eyes and BFA or MFA degree without paying about $300 to monster.com or graphic design association (AIGA) for a job posting? I tried craigslist but the talents are limited. Also I want a web site very professional such as tiffany.com or thomasville.com that convey upper middle class message and impeccable taste, not just any site that has some graphics.

If you want a good graphic designer, you'll have to pay the price. If you want to set a lower price, you will have to accept what you can get for the price.\n\nIf you want a proffessionally designed website, try --\nhttp://mikecox.com/\nor\nhttp://www.finerdesign.com/  \nor\nhttp://www.nrjdesign.com/\n\nIf you'd like to do it yourself, get a copy of "Creating Webpages for Dummies". It is a very informative book and comes with a CD containing several trials of web buiding software.\n\nOr try signing up with Yahoo for your website. They offer a free set of tools for building your site. Yahoo Sitebuilder is quite easy to use.

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y

I am a Graphic Designer.  I could not possibly think of a cooler job for me.  I had to work very hard to convince my parents to allow me to major in Art, they thought I would be selling paintings on the sidewalk, I guess.  But I worked very, very hard and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art and now I get paid to draw pictures everyday!  I love it!

To be a good graphic designer what you really need is a good eye for design. This you must have.\n\nBut you will need technical skills as well. A graphic designer these days needs skill in at least these programs:\n\nPhotoshop\nAdobe Illustrator\nQuark XPress\nAdobe InDesign\nMacromedia DreamWeaver MX

When I released an album with my band a few years back, we got a fantastic looking cover for an inexpensive price. My advice would be to search out a graphic designer in your city and sit down with them and discuss the details on how you want your cover to look, what kind of fonts you want to use / or even your own logo. If you just want a one page slip, or a booklet with multiple pages.\n\nJust remember, the more pages you have on your cover booklet, the higher the cost to you is to both get it designer and have it printed.\n\nAnd, if you use a graphic designer that is involved within the music community in your city, it'll be a lot cheaper than going online or to an office that specializes in designing stuff like that. I had a t-shirt designed for me for $50 bucks, super cheap.

Here in the states, florist shops sell them--if you have a pay-pal account or a credit card, you can access an awful lot of reputable companies, such as party planner-type companies, who would be more than willing to ship them to you! In fact, I could hook you up in my hometown here in Arizona. Go to eBay and contact 'azmegs'-just tell me whether you need them pre-aired(ship will be expensive,due to package size!), how many you want, if you want them personalized, what type(foil,with plastic sticks or with ribbon,rubber), what colors and approx. size that you would like and I will email you some different contacts and specifics. You can pick your pictures to put on them, lettering styles, etc. I have all of that info from when my friend had a custom balloon business!!Go over the top without thinking of the cost because that will allow me to get the absolute best pricing info for you and you can narrow down to fit budget afterwards! Basically, I do know that the few shops in my town are not very pricey, and one in particular is AMAZING in both price and quality and customer service!! It's only a matter of simple local phone calls for me and since I have a fax and used to design most of all the shops' Ads, To do that for you would be a pleasure and no effort at all and ZERO charge on my end---hope to hear from you!

This sounds quite harsh, but I'd perhaps re-think your design and layout. I've recently been hunting high and low for a web designer, hosting domain names etc and have been extremely put off by bad layout.\n\nThe fact that you've got a free website, with loads of banners and adverts would make me think that you're a part-timer, who would take the money and not do the job.\n\nThe design of your website isn't easy to navigate, the flash image is awful on the eyes. I wouldn't let you design my website incase I got the same thing. \n\nJust a few suggestions:\n\n* Make all the colours compliment each other- they clash at the minute\n* Improve your own layout\n* Include a portfolio\n* Get yourself onto a paid website to prove that you take business seriously.\n\nI know that what I've said does sound quite nasty, but if you don't present your own business well then people won't trust you with theirs. Take a look at your competition.

well... I'd say you could start by going to freewebs.com and make a website there... it's free and they have some basic layouts for you... the only downside is that your website comes with advertisements on it... If you want your own server Yahoo I believe has it wher eyou can register a domain for $9.99 I think for a year... but then you'd have to buy a server and/or run the website off your computer.\n\nIf you want it professional looking and don't like freewebs.com and want to design it yourself... that's where it get's expensive and I'd suggest using Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Dreamweaver...\n\nPhotoshop for graphics and Dreamweaver will help you with setting up the pages to where they look nice..\n\nOther then buying those two programs... Freewebs.com is the only place right now to help you get started at least with a basic website...\n\nI'm a graphic designer myself and have helped design websites... you can email me and I'll help you design your website and all... You'd just once again have to pay for a domain then a host if you're not planning on hosting it off your computer.
