thank you Taylor for your honest opinion and your right that we as designer are often undervalued. Have you had some experience that you can talk about regards to this? For one of my clients I know that without projecting too much that what im designing will definitely boost their sales and I would ideally like to be part of that success since its my design and my abilities to source manufacturing. Im currently working with a lawyer to help write up a formal contact to address these issues. Honestly I feel as a designer as Scott was saying I charge 3k for a product that makes a company 400k, my hourly rate doesnt accurately reflect the outcome.
@NXACT can you talk about some of your experiences? Did you have a contract agreement that stipulated an upfront lump cost and a percentage of royalties?
Thanks!
