irene33945y@JoshBent I used to do creative work for a living. It is about building immediately communicative mind hacks. It is harder work than development because it can’t be forced without losing effectiveness even though you have a deadline. And there is tons of finishing time spent doing invisible things like make it okay for colour blind viewers. (The backend doesn’t matter to customers in communication design as well.)
I left the industry because people don’t value the work. “It’s just drawing pictures.” or “Anyone can do it.” or “The solution is so obvious...now that I see it)”. Try getting people to pay even with a contract. I was paid a lot more for creative talent/skills than I get as a developer but with the caveat that customers avoid paying.
I liked computers as well so I switched industries into a position that I can be creative with tech. People basically dump money on projects that are the tiniest bit innovative but doesn’t confuse users. -
@enigmamachine You can still use that knowledge in dev for web design, UX,.. also sounds like you had private clients and no escrow, that's how anybody gets fucked, if the client decides to pay and not an escrow system, you won't see that money, be it a high tier beast or a john doe. I'm sure you could have made more use of that creative juice if you just had the support from the escrow system.

irene33945y@JoshBent interesting. I don’t think systems like that are very common in my country except for big ticket contracts because of the legal cost to establish. Usually you make a claim to a court based on the size of the breach.

@enigmamachine it's mostly digital nowadays, easiest is to get your client (physical or not) onto the platform to handle that, e. g. upwork, the client pays upfront and it stays at the escrow, then once you're done it gets released, sounds like there's a lot of issues, but it works.
Through the same platform you could also find work yourself, if physical client conversion isn't your thing.
