Hi all! Just a quick, but important update. I am changing the way I process and handle orders, to hopefully make things run a little smoother for both me and for you guys.
For the sake of time and space, I am no longer going to be sending watermarked proofs. The system worked well with small orders, but when working on orders for thread layouts, putting watermarks on 10+ graphics was time consuming. I'll admit, I became lazy. Plus, it also took up a lot of space on my Photobucket account.
This is the new ordering process:
-Place an order using the order form on the first page, as usual.
-If the order is accepted, send the trade and I will accept it.
-Then, COMPLETE THE TRADE.
-I will then work on your order and PM it to you when finished.
-As usual, take the time to review and make sure everything is how you want it.
-Changes will be made if needed; then you can save your graphics to your own server.
Similarly to the previous process, the trade MUST BE SENT AND COMPLETED before I begin working on your order. It is your responsibility to make sure you send & complete the trade; I will not remind you. It can get backed up here sometimes, so I do not always have time to sit and wait for you to send the trade; I will simply move on to the next order. Furthermore, let me again remind everyone that STEALING IS NOT OKAY. I do not put watermarks on my final copies of graphics because I know it takes away from the overall design, but please do not take advantage of me!
Lastly (I know, this "quick update" is turning into a book), a couple reminders:
-When requesting changes to an order, please keep in mind that I will not completely change an order or start from scratch. I want you to receive exactly what you want, but if you feel like the entire design needs to be scrapped, you obviously weren't specific enough when filling out the order form.
-Please, please, please do not PM me orders. Occasionally I will make an exception if an order is more complex than a traditional graphic, but 99.9% of the time, an order can be placed in this thread using the form. This helps keep my inbox organized and helps me keep track of what orders I have.
Whew, okay, thanks for sitting through all of that! Hopefully this update will make things easier for everyone. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here or to PM me! emotion_bigheart
