UPDATE :siren: AS OF 2013, LINKS TO SPEC WORK IN SA-MART ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED IN THE WORK-FOR-HIRE THREAD. LINKS TO SPEC JOBS WILL BE REMOVED.:siren:

Artists and designers deserve to get paid for their time, not just for the finished product. "Draw me a logo and if I like it, you get paid" is bullshit. If you have no self-respect and would like to work hard for the chance of getting paid enough for a Meat-Lover's Pizza, go directly to SA-Mart.


NOT OK
  • "I want a logo/tattoo/banner/thing, everyone post their designs and whichever one I pick, you get $X."
YES OK
  • "I'm an artist selling sketches/prints/web sites/portraits for $X."
  • "I/my company want to hire someone as a freelancer/independent contractor, please submit a bid."

Poor devils.
I have some time on my hands and I would like to fill it drawing things for you!

I will draw your characters, in your choice of a sketch, a value-drawing with exciting color overlays, or full, vivid color! Options!


I can do full illustrations as well. Want something cute to give your mom? I can do super cute. I can do creepy and gross as well, but I don't think your mom would like that.


I can even draw your pets, your dad, you, a dumb joke comic, whatever, just ask and we'll work it out.

You can reach me by PM, email at kzenzic(.at.)gmail.com, or leave a post in this thread and I will work with you to create something you'll love. Please summarize what you are looking for and I will give you a base price and we can get started!

WELCOME TO THE NEW DEATH
Appreciate the new guidelines, thanks neonnoodle.

I’m a professional voiceover actress who's recorded 200+ projects (including one in the post right above this one, hi Gaspy!), including commercials, audiobooks, animation, iOS apps and games, museum audio recordings, and even in-flight videos! I'm based in the NYC area but I've worked with clients all over the country, and all over the world. (I lived in South Korea for a while, and you can hear my voice all over the place there.) Some of my clients have included Japan Airlines, Samsung, LG, Johnson & Johnson, Ebay and Apple. I've also worked on a bunch of projects with goons (including Gaspy Conana's Dropsy The Clown), which I have always very much enjoyed.

Here are direct links to my demos:

Commercial demo: http://www.listentomelanie.com/commercialdemo.mp3
Animation demo: http://www.listentomelanie.com/animationdemo.mp3

You can hear more samples of my work on my website, www.listentomelanie.com.

Basically, I can do (and have done) voiceovers for anything and everything. For characters, I can do young women, older women, girls, boys and young male characters, robots, monsters, amorphous blobs, and pretty much anything else you can think up. For narration, I can do smooth and steady, peppy and energetic, and anything in between. I'm open to almost anything, though I don't do erotica or anything overly profane/vulgar. I can also take care of copywriting/editing, casting (if a male/foreign VO is necessary), recording, producing, and and vocal effects that are needed.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you, and maybe even working with some of you soon!

Hello Creative People!

We're looking for motion graphic and video artists for some tour visuals. The creativeness of the Goon Collective never ceases to amaze me, so I thought maybe we would encounter a fresh perspective here.

Basically we need complete and timed visuals for a handful of songs to be shown alongside our existing visual set. Music Genre is Electronic, in the Techno/Trance direction. These are dance visuals, and will be used on large-scale LED screens, so we need LED-compatible content. Mostly looking for animated stuff, particle generation and 3d elements. Real-Life imagery is okay if it's LED-compatible. Not looking for any low-res or glitch stuff.

You must have a portfolio or examples of your previous work.

It could be we choose a few different people to do a song each if we see compatible styles we like.

Feel free to contact me at visuals<at>optikalusion[point]com or PM me here.

Hi goons. I was told to put some ads out to try and find a freelancer to do a job for by my boss, and I decided why not ask some goons?!

My company is currently looking to hire a freelance animator/motion graphic type person to make a trailer for an app in our line of kids smartphone games. We'll provide you with a decent amount of gameplay footage and a copy or two of the app on android/iOS whatever you want so you could take your own footage and see what the game is about. We'll also provide you with any art assets you need and music we have. There's no real need for voice work in the trailer.

You'd be responsible for pretty much the entire trailer from storyboarding to animation to editing, but we can and will provide considerable art, sound and animation assets.

Looking for it to be about a minute long, and not really any longer than 70seconds. The people in charge want something interesting enough to grab parents attention since they're the ones buying, but also showing off how the game would be fun and interesting for 5 year olds.

Demos of any animation/motion graphic/other video game trailers you might have should be prepared.

Contact me via pm here on the forums or my email at my SA user name (with no space) at gmail dot com and I'll give you a bit more details and point you and your stuff towards some people with whom you can talk to more seriously with.

Make a PSD. Turn it into a web page. Get paid.

Thank you neonnoodle for the new thread. I was a frequent patron of the last thread, and am looking forward to throwing money around in this one.

I have a dilemna, and I'm hoping for some goon help.

I have a client who wants a website that looks exactly like this one: http://www.baggstreet.com When I say exactly, I mean it. View source, and you will see what I mean. I know my way around an html framework or two, but I do not know how to slice up a PSD and turn it into a webpage.


I'm looking for the following:

1. index page with updated copy and color scheme.

2. template page with header and footer elements per http://www.baggstreet.com/aboutus.html and http://www.baggstreet.com/ourwork.html that I can then take and fill in the relevant copy on.

I'll be paying $100 for the index page and $50 for the template page. I will include a $100 completion bonus within 24 hours of client acceptance, verified by the site going live.

I'm specifically looking for someone who has the chops to do this quickly: $250 is a good deal for 1-2 hours of work, not so much if it's going to take you 3 days.


Please contact me at REDACTED to get the discussion started - I'll want to discuss in real-time, either skype or telephone.

I will then create the appropriate SA-Mart thread to memorialize the agreement.

Oh My Science was great -- far more communicative than I was, given that I've got goddamn typhoid or something.

Thank you to the other people who sent me emails -- everyone was very cool and I would have liked to have worked with all of you.

{Sorry for the long post, but as someone who does this a lot, both as a freelance Project Manager and as a client, I thought I'd throw out a few suggestions for making sure that these transactions are mutually beneficial and go smoothly, regardless of the outcome}

1. Please watch this video:http://vimeo.com/22053820 [NSFW - language and title]

2. Kill Fee: What is a kill fee? A kill fee is the client's promise to pay, even if work is not accepted. It should be at least 33% of the agreed upon amount. If you haven't worked for the client before, or your Spidey Sense is tingling, invoice it upfront and subtract it from the final bill.

Benefit: Freelancer isn't working for free. The other advantage to paying this upfront is working out the kinks with the invoicing/payment process. On more than one occasion, I've had PayPal be lovely, had to clear payment with a client, etc. - it's nice to work all that out early in the process.

3. Completion Bonus: What is a completion bonus? A completion bonus is the freelancer's promise to see the project through to completion. This insures that the transaction has successfully concluded.

Benefit: Client isn't getting partially completed work dumped on them.


Example:
"I will pay you $150 to design a webpage for me. Additionally, I will pay you a $50 completion bonus once the webpage goes live at http://example.com. Kill Fee is $50, payable in advance."

Within the context of SA-Mart, a clearly defined and agreed upon project makes it really easy for mods to determine if someone has failed to hold up their side of the bargain.

You should be structuring your projects like this at a minimum no matter what the circumstances or how long you've been working with a client or a freelancer. While you don't want to end up having to sue someone, it makes it a lot easier for the attorneys in the event that you do have to. I had a client stiff me on a five figure invoice after having worked with them for over 3 years and over $250,000 in billables that had always been paid in a timely fashion. Because the work was clearly defined and agreed upon in an email, my attorney was able to secure payment in less than 2 weeks -- he also bundled his attorney's fees into the amount, so I wasn't out of pocket.

If you don't start with a full-blown contract, at least start an email memorializing the outlined agreement, so that you can focus on making cool things, not chasing invoices.

These will be header images with a text overlay, so I'll need photos with low visual static. You can see the template I'm working with here: http://www.squarespace.com/templates/?q=peak

You'd be shooting the image that goes in the TOP portion. (I use the lower portion for navigation).

Photos should be themed around my line of work: copywriting and editing.

If this sounds like something you're interested in, please PM me your portfolio and contact info. As I am also a freelancer, I'm more than happy to negotiate a fair rate for your work.

I also promise never to use the phrase "It'll be great for your portfolio."

I have recently created https://www.darkfuturesfiction.net. It could be called a literary blog, a webzine, or a small press. I’m looking to publish works of prose, poetry, and more, all with a “dark future” theme. Post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk, and many other genres are welcome.

Right now the site is up and I am actively seeking submissions. I’m hoping to do a hard launch in March and possibly post some content sometime before that as a soft launch. The plan is to have one featured short story, which will be posted at the beginning of the month, every month. In the weeks that follow, I would like to publish flash fiction, poetry, and even visual art.

At least while this site is getting started, I’m hope to be able to give a bit of a chance to writers who would be passed over by larger markets. Over time, I hope the popularity of the site will grow to the benefit of the writers published there as well as the site itself.

Please, take a look. I welcome any feedback or submissions!
