at the top of the year i was contacted by a RAL intern who 'tried' to hook me up w/ several jobs as far as graphic design with the company...promising good pay and future projects for the likes of scarface and devin the dude...
RAL had planned on releasing part 2 of RNDS...they had a few designs they had from other designers that didnt really fit RAL or a tx theme...
they wanted something basic, just a big swanger w/ the RAL logo incorporated...
so i did a proof and they liked it...the intern tried to force me to give them a larger version so that lil j could sign off on the design and cut the check for the deposit...i refused...because i know what happens w/ larger files...i had already done more work w/out pay that i would do on a normal basis...but this was an 'opportunity'...
i ended up doing another proof and sent the invoice...bout a month went by and i never heard anything nor did i get paid...to top it all off the intern wanted 30% of my money for my work...hell managers who actually do something dont get that damn much...
well today i went to the ral website and saw that they had started promoting RNDS2 with of all things...my design...
look familiar?
once i wasnt paid i sold the basic design to another client...
case in point...dont do business 'opportunities' w/ interns...
