When you’ve designed or developed something, you are entitled to hold a copyrights
to your work. Which is understood that YOU can published it anywhere you wanted
it to be, sell it to gain profits, or modify it to make it much more slicker then
ever.
Yet, what happened if a client came by asking your services, requesting a web
templates, in return paying BUT you but are instructed not to publish that template
you’ve created even in your portfolio. Will you still take that job for just a
measly $50 bucks?
Well, this issue happened today… and immediately I reject the job.
For my issue, it is not about the money. It is about the pride in my work which
is at stake when I was instructed never to place it in my portfolio. Furthermore
for my case, I have no certificates in IT or web developements, just one lousy
paper related to Mechanical Servicing.
I’m a self trained individual. What made I am today is through my passion and
hard work. It’s quite hard to live a life and chase your dream if you can’t seem
to get into a designing company without ‘educational proof’… and when everything
goes well, someone came about and say ‘take off that screenshot from your portfolio’.
Just imagine this, if one person starts saying that, everyone else will… and
in the end, nothing is listed in the my portfolio. When there is nothing, how
am I going to get new clients when they requested for samples? How am I going
to feed all the millions sperm cell in my veins? How?!
Do take note that if you happened to encounter the same situation as mine, were
offered $800 bucks not to put it in your portfolio, and you take that deal.
Sadly to say, you just sell off your pride.
If you ask me… I rather go hungry then to sell off my pride. |
