First of all, this group is called J.O.Y BEHIND BARS. They misiter to inmates at a local jail. Yes my boss has offered to help for the networking aspect. I am doing this gig on my own time absolutely free and my boss will do the production on his own time. Right now, it is just for a CORO yard sign, and he thinks after their "big" donation drive, they will be looking to purchase a couple of items, like window lettering, a large sign, and some promo stuff. They really have a non exsistent budget, and it is a FAVOR. I have done google searches, I have plenty of art, but I do not want to take the time away from my paying freelance clients to vectorize, etc etc. I HOPED I could get a little help from people who have seen this type of client before. The bottom line in my mind is that if you do not give back to your community every now and again, your community should tell you to take your business elsewhere. I think it is a very conceited idea to look at every customer for only monetary value. It is really funny to me that Michael Vick (QB, Falcons) once mentioned to an executive in the falcons organization that he had heard of a printer in Atlanta do some free stuff for a local homeless shelter, and it impressed this executive so much, he turned around and placed a 40,000.00 order with said printer to design and print some signage for the falcons luxury suites. Good deeds to get noticed eventually.
