I graduated over a year ago and I still keep getting emails about, "this project will be great exposure", "Think of the contacts you will make". Ive done my fair share of free work and cut my teeth making teas for studios and this is me saying "No more!"

Students you should also be careful who you are working for, free work damages the industry.

undervalue your time now, and you will forever pay the price.

This is so adorable I love it. Also a very nifty message to put across.

I'm the president of a student design club, and I actually never pass along the many emails I get of this nature to our members. It's a waste of our time, an insult to our talent, and as you said, the arch-nemesis of creative fields.

That being said, I LOVE this drawing. Do you mind if I post this to our club blog (with your name and link)? I think they'd enjoy it.
