Oprano Adult Industry Forums - View Single Post - Lee...What the fuck is going on over there

We have received nothing but praise and support.

I have no affiliation with Lee. I've posted on his Gay board and that's it.

I have worked with Andrew at Blue Design Studios this last month and I must say I feel ripped off and taken advantage of.

I've been in the adult online business over 5 years now and have seen Blue Design Studios past work and expected the same level of quality for the work I commissioned from them.

I paid $350 ( in advance ) for 5 banner designs ( 2 sizes each design ) for a total of 10 banners.

I'm currently in Australia and tried calling Andrew at Blue Design Studios and their number was disconnected ( it has since been taken off their contact page ). I wanted to tell him what I had in mind for my banner designs and the concept for a new niche site I'm launching next month. After I emailed him he declined to give me their new number to talk voice and convey the design concept I wanted so I sent Andrew the banners I liked. I expected the same quality that I saw on their website portfolio and that all of us have come to expect from Blue Design Studios and their competitors. I made a page for you guys to see the banners I sent them, and the designs I got in return. Here is what I got from BlueDesignStudios

I ended up re-designing one banner myself and you can see it at the bottom of the page. I've only had time so far to redo their work on one banner. For me graphic work is time consuming, as graphic design isn't my strong point, that's why I hired out Blue Design Studios to do the work. As you can see my own redesign is sleeker and of much better quality then what I paid $350 for.

When Andrew emailed me back after the design was complete I told him that the text and quality wasn't what I had in mind, but that I did like the graphical cumshot I requested. I sent him the banner I redesigned as an example and said I didn't have time to re-design the work he'd done... I've yet to hear back from him. This was a few weeks ago. Either he's too busy, or feels his work is worth $350. I disagree.

I normally wouldn't make a post like this but I had to speak out about my experience... especially when I see Blue Design Studios is having difficulty with other clients and permitting the kinds of degrading posts I've seen on GFY posted on behalf of Blue Design Studios.

Either Blue Design Studios has lost their best graphic designer or they only give quality work to those whom they consider to be "high profile" clients. Either way I ended up with work I could have done better myself.

Again I'm not on anyone’s side here.. this is MY personal experience with Blue Design Studios. They obviously aren't interested in correcting their work and I doubt they'll refund my money.
