Pink Ice, Jewelry website Rating Options

[schizo]

I got a job making a layout for a jewelry website yesterday, and thanks to a day off from school, I've already finished. The person wanted the layout to look similar to this site, and I tried my best to interpret it into a cleaner design.

It's that kind of cute that makes you want to barf a little, I know.

Edit
WTF?! Look what she did to it: click. Should I say something or just leave it? She did pay me...

This is super cute, exspeily the rollovers.

There's a clothing store I shop at online called Pink Ice, at first I thought they hired you. I was all like "ahhh I love themmm!". /randomness>

[manny-the-dino]

^Haha I know which store you're talking about.

I think it's cute but I can see why it would make you want to barf. It's totally not your style. I think you succeeded though. nice job. :D

That is so much better than the website they wanted it to look like. SO much better. I love the little sparkle/shine thing on the apple.

[schizo]

^I was hoping someone would notice that! I thought it was so cute, haha.

And woah, how come nobody told me about this Pink Ice store before? I could have used it a few weeks ago when I was looking for a dress...

Anyway, thanks guys. Unfortunately, the girl I made it for totally shitted it up: click.

^well what the f*ck at that

It does look like shit now. The cupcake looks more like an octopus.

Do you think I should say something? She took my little credit link off and everything.

But she did pay me...

Wow okay that's just stupid. I would tell her. I'm sure it says on your website that the credit needs to stay there, right?

[none345678]

depends. do you have a contract type thing that states credit must be kept on? But then again do you really want your credit one that layout lol, will you make her change it back?

Alsjdflkjsdf. You should put a warning on that, I just barfed all over myself

AND she covered up the cute apple. Seriously, is this girl on crack?

[none345678]

^O I know, I was just kidding about that. I was just wondering if she will ask them to not change her graphics.

[schizo]

I didn't have anything about the credit in the terms, but honestly that's not what's bothering me the most. Why would I want my credit on it now? It just irritates me that I spent hours on this and even though I asked her several times, she never told me she wanted something changed.

This is what I told her:

I just wanted to let you know that I'm slightly disappointed in the fact that you decided to make such drastic changes to the layout I created for you. I asked you several times to tell me if there was anything you wanted changed, and never once did you mention you wanted a different image or shade of pink. I know my terms said nothing about changing anything or deleting my tiny credit link, and in the end I was still paid for the project, but just as you expect people to respect the hours of hard work you put into your jewelry, I expect the same from my clients. I just ask that if anyone inquires about where you got your layout from, you do not refer them to me. What you've turned the layout into is not how I want my work to be represented.

As soon as I can get to the computer with all my website files, I'm changing my terms.

[Maccabee]

You need to talk to her cause she removed the credit!
I have been in that situation before. I made someone a website and when i looked at it they changed stuff and ruined it.
She really ruined that logo. Ask her if you'd like to change it for her. Cause you dont even want your credit on the site if its crappy.
edit:O, i didnt see your post.
What you said was perfect.

[none345678]

nice. I just would have said "Bitch, you f*cked my shit up." As you can see I am vary professional.

[schizo]

Thanks guys.

Gah, that makes me so angry. *Just think of calm oceans and Jesus, Gab.*

I might just change the links and title and turn this into a Myspace layout now. Why have all that work go to waste, you know?

[Mikeplyts]

It's a damn shame they did that because the one you made is very nice. I couldn't find anything wrong with but now that she changed it, blah. I still think you did a great job overall.

holy crap TJ, what happened to your vocabulary?..lol

[1angel3]

That happen to me before and I did it for free, so it really pissed me off. I like the layout you did, it's really cute. She f*cked it up and she's a copy cat too, she has no originality. Her site is set up exactly the same as the other site. I dislike people like her.

[superstitious]

Oh dear. The original one was fantastic. Why on earth would they go and easter egg paint the background like that?

[schizo]

I really don't understand what she was thinking. Even if her changes did look nice, why would you pay $35 for a layout when you were going to completely change it anyway? That seems a little backwards...

Anyway, thanks for the ermm, support? guys. At least I know I'm not bananas for thinking mine looked fine.

[schizo]

No, and I have a feeling she won't. I really hope she does, though.

[manny-the-dino]

I'm glad you told her, Gabi. She had no right to do that.

I want to know what she says. Never mind, then.

A POX ON HER AND HER FIRST BORN!
