I was looking at old forums. I would be willing to make free vexels for people who want them for a site or something. Maybe others would be too. I know you just came out with vexelme but what about people who really want one but can't afford your prices.

That would be like Mcdonalds allowing someone to give out free hamburgers outside their store :P Sorry!

I can't imagine many, if any people willing to spend hours upon hours creating vexels by request with nothing in return :S

So if I don't vexel for free I'm a bad person who hates people ??
Vexels just take a lot of time and effort, so I don't think many people would vexel for free.
I'm not trying to sound rude or anything, but your comment sounded a bit offensive. I would love to have more time and vexel everything I wanted to, but I just can't.

My thoughts..

I don't think it'd be a good idea because..

i) It would get over-run with zero requests.
ii) .. or it would get over-run with a gazillion requests. (that probably won't be all filled =p)
iii) I can't see many people slaving over a vexel for nothing.. (except personal gain? but then you'd pick your own pictures =p)

Yeah, your comment sounds offensive. And, when you get better and vexels take time, you're going to regret it.

It's a very nice gesture, and i don't think she meant to be offensive at all.

I've done vexels/vectors for friends for free, but it is very hard to create art that takes a lot of time and effort for nothing, just to end up giving it away.

but i guess if you really want to do that, you can leave a message on your user page stating that u wouldn't mind helping someone out for free, and they will find you if they need your services

Lots of people don't even mind if their vexels are used for personal use as long as proper credit is given... It may not be something custom but it is always there also (:

I think this is a totally unacceptable request and the topic should be closed!

this could be a cute idea. like we wouldn't wanna make this some big 'hey come to bombard me with requests' thing.('cause i get what you guys are saying thats that wouldn't work) But there could be some little forum where people could post a picture or idea and be like 'hey i'd love to see this vexelled if anyone wants to give a try' like more of a suggesting something to be done kinda thing. I've seen this done on other graphic forums and it worked pretty good.

They do that here already, too.

I can understand wanting to do some free ones to kind of like, build up a portfolio. I've done that as far as my graphic design portfolio goes.

However, I agree that this is not the place to do that. There are the designers on the VexelMe board that are trying to make some money by using skills they have worked hard to hone.

I wouldn't sit outside of a graphic design firm and go "free designs!". That's just rude.

Maybe you could just advertise in your profile that you'd do some free ones.

I do think it's a bit unfair to insinuate that we're not good people because we charge. Everyone at VexelMe takes their design abilities seriously, just think of us like graphic designers that have been working toward something like this for years.
