MobiKwik.com Of India Outsources To Me

MobiKwik of India

62.5cm X 62.5cm poster for India cell phone service MobiKwik

I suppose if companies based in India are outsourcing their work to me I should probably revisit my pricing. I won’t though because I enjoy doing graphics, and so I am trying to learn all I can about Photoshop. Well, actually I have a firm grasp on Photoshop, but want to learn more about using the massive number of plugins, brushes, filters and effects available.

This banner is actually huge, more of a poster that I did for MobiKwik.com, the Indian pay online payment service available for iPhone and Android users.

In the future I will not work on such large format images though. The time to save updates takes far too long making my usual quick completion impossible. The actual graphics work mind you takes the same amount of time, even with this 17 layer PSD measuring 62.5cm by 62.5cm.

I delivered this in an editable PSD, as per instructions. This was a good thing too. The MobiKwik logo, bottom left, the was supplied by the customer. However, once enlarged I noticed it has the very top of the arrows trimmed off. Naturally I Googled to find another logo but they all must have been derived from the same original because all were missing the very tips of the arrows. It messes with my mild case of OCD big time to have something not quite right ;)

A Banner For Five Dollars

Clarksburg Roofing Company

Banner for Residential Roofing Company

This was a banner ordered through my fiverr.com gig for $5.

I really appreciated that Clarksburg Roofing Company not only supplied a high resolution photo of the house to be the background of  the banner, but very precise instructions. It made the job so much easier I didn’t mind creating the simple logo for the company pro bono.

Simple Banner

The concept for FreeShippingAndDelivery.com is pretty simple. If a product is offered online and shipping is free, the business and/or the product itself is listed. Ditto, if a store provides free delivery either locally, regionally or nationally the store and/or the products are listed on the website.

I didn’t have to think about this banner, the order came with very precise instructions, and a logo, to create a very simple, yet attention grabbing banner…

FreeShippingAndDelivery-banner-728x90

Normally I charge extra to complete banner orders within 24 hours because it means dropping everything to get the job done. However, with very precise instructions and the job being simple, I did not charge more than the usual $5 through my Fiverr.com Gig for this 728×90 pixel banner.

As a bonus, I pin all my work on Pinterest, add a post to Facebook and blast out a notice on Twitter and a few other social networks that include a link to wherever the banner is located on the Web.
