Hi Project Owner,
Thank you for your kind invite to the competition just now.
Would love to show you something but please can you just confirm that you want 7 posters for £100, less 15% Design Crowd commission - which leaves us with £85 (and we've got to pay tax on that because we are not based abroad or off shore). That's £12 per poster and it is not guaranteed! Please don't take this the wrong way, but we've got staff to pay and at those rates that's worse than a zero hours contract and less than the minimum wage!

Hi "the art works" have you got a link to a portfolio? If so we can take this off-line and work something out if not, please submit some exemplary artwork before we can continue dialogue

hello...am interested in this project. The poster u have uploaded consist of products from Canon. You want the promotion of Epson products. But you have not provided any images or documents about Epson to be included in your poster. please clarify.
Thank you

Hi SR,

Thanks for your response, I will upload some images of the Epson products we are referring to...
the Canon ones have been uploaded to give an idea of the type of branding we currently use.

HI SR, the images requested have now been uploaded.

Hi Project Owner,
Thanks for reaching out with your prompt feedback.
We've looked at this and the 7 student lifestyle images at A3 size we want to use in your posters are £10 each from istockphoto, which means we are doing 7 posters for £14! That's £2 a poster, which never mind the minimum wage, that's more like slave labour!
We will watch this contest with interest as we'd like to see who can produce such work at such low rates. Maybe we're missing something here and if we are please let us know but I am sorry to say that we must decline your kind invite to compete in what sounds like a highly suspect unguaranteed competition.
In the words of Dragon's Den, on this occasion, it is with a heavy heart that we'll have to say ... "We're Out!"
But don't worry about us as you will still get designers competing for this, just ensure that they have purchased the rights to use any images which appear in the work.
Heap big hugs and thanks for the invite anyway.

It's guaranteed.

I'll do it.

Hi, as stated in your invitation this is part of a much wider project and will lead on to more guaranteed work. This is not the the first project we have run through design crowd and so far we have been very happy with previous ventures here.
The project is guaranteed and we value all the work designers on this platform put in.

thank you...am working on it
