I just had an AD reach out to me for a freelance gig for a magazine, but they say they have zero budget for it. Do you believe illustrators should take on no-pay jobs for exposure? The magazine is fairly well known and has won awards from PRINT and the AD Club.
Absolutely NO! If they donât have the budget then design without art. This just makes me mad.Â
You have plenty exposure on your site and promo emails. If your work is good and strong, AD will reach out to you.Â
Oh wait, AD DID reach out to you because he/she wanted your work. Â
