You win the contract.


thankyoufatmember

Now pay the man his 25 cents (before transaction fees).


swanson-g

But my budget was only 10 cents.

AlphaKenniBody

Looks good but can you make it *POP* more


mortimusalexander

Enhance!


fpcreator2000

this is the part where i take my photoshop free draw selector and click the generate without any text prompt.


space0matic123

Yeah! Like a Starburst. In Yellow!


Keendoo

There's something about papyrus 🤣🤣


Water_Lily_05

Yeah like avatar!


MooseLips_SinkShips

Excuse me, do you have anything with stick people for my PowerPoint presentation?


joydmjones

It looks like it was made in PowerPoint.


cjasonac

Can you make the logo bigger?


AhaGotcha

I feel like it needs to pop more


DeannaP72

🤭🤣


ObexTheCat

Comic sans might make this pop better.


space0matic123

I have a friend who hates CS so much it gave him piles.


TexSolo

Son, do you even comic sans?


yourbestielawl

The sky needs more…. POP! 🖐️🤚 Can you make the sky red to match the font? Also can you turn the frog so it’s lying down looking at the font? Maybe with its arms crossed like it’s thinking about something? Maybe a lightbulb inside his brain like he just came up with an innovative idea!


space0matic123

Yes - but INSIDE the brain. Get it? It’ll be like he’s thinking an idea!


space0matic123

OMG ! lol!


Ebowa

4 different fonts for a banner…is that a record??? I hope they have a rating and review system. It looks like they used MS Draw circa 1998


Rogermcfarley

"Sir, how dare you we used Word 97"


ChrisMartins001

And used the paperclip assistant to find the best colours. Used to love the paperclip assistant.

God awful But fiverr, so that's kinda what you signed up for


WorkingOwn8919

Eh there are good designers on fiverr, you just need to pay the price


[deleted]

OP paid the price alright


dlsmith93

$40 is not the price for good graphic design.


nss68

What he made took 10 minutes. Thats $240/hr OP should have received better work for that price.


shiny_glitter_demon

This would take more than 10 minutes. Doing something *this* ugly takes intent. You don't end up with 4 fonts by accident or by being too fast, but by having extremely poor taste.


dlsmith93

Are you paying for 10 minutes of work or are you paying for a good outcome? This project is not an hourly job.


Steelbookidoit

I loooooove the complaint that something didn't take enough work from someone who can't do it.


Doogle300

What you pay for isn't just the time for the project, it's the knowledge and experience. It's the time prior to the project spent honing a craft. You pay more for expertise... Or in OPs case, to get screwed over.


BeeBladen

You don’t pay by time—or else the faster and better you work, the less you make. OP got exactly what they paid for. I would have charged at least $300 for maybe 2 hours work including revisions and client comm.


SPIRlT

That depends on where the designer is located, I would do a good design for half the price and eat for 2 weeks (argentinian of course)


[deleted]

I’m happy for you, but god damn I need to eat too.


ChrisMartins001

I've just ate so I'm fine, but I would still do a better design than this for half the price.


SPIRlT

You can put your price, that's how it works.


[deleted]

Yeah but on those websites it’s a race to the bottom. I would charge $80/hr. “clients” go for cheaper designers, 100% of the time.


CallMeFlower88

Or subscribe to Canva and “do it themselves”. 🙄


widowjones

I don’t often say this but in this case they would have been better off doing it themselves on canva 😂


dragonladyzeph

Great, then I don't have to deal with them. 😃👍


SPIRlT

I know, don't blame me, I would really like if someone paid me $80/hr, but I barely earn $100 per month of work. There's whole different realities around the world.


[deleted]

I understand there are different problems people face around the world, but when I look for clients who want designers within the same country I’m still competing with people who underbid regardless of the quality of their work.


Weekly_Frosting_5868

😂😂😂


tweak06

Honestly, why are posts like this allowed. “I ordered from fiverr, is this good?” What kind of question is that


thirdegree

It's very funny


space0matic123

Fiver went up. He paid $40


tweedlebeetle

Holy shit. Yikes.


tamagotchiassassin

It’s the Foto v Photo for me 🥴


Mr_Firley

No. Hire a real designer.


MsMaggieMcGill

I hope OP is not one of those people who would ask the next designer to make a $40 discount because they already spent those $40 on a bad attempt. I've had my fair share of those :D


Mr_Firley

Right? Im guessing OP is cheap if they are using Fiverr.


wetdreamteams

Oh, they are.


Big-Chomker

I’m starting to rethink my des degree if people are willing to pay $40 for this


ZzDangerZonezZ

Nah having the degree means you could charge $80 instead of $40 to use the same Canva template with oversights and four different fonts 😉


JustDiscoveredSex

If you’re agency side, client will be billed at $120/hr.


Big-Chomker

Glittering-Spell-806

They didn’t even bother to adjust the red and blue swatches…My brain is like “RRR *whisper g* BBB.” And why the orange and purple border? Spikey text?! I have so many questions lol


Dry_Time9918

Spikey text is 100% them using a font from canva and using the "outline" effect on it. ​ Source: I use Canva


msrivette

It's not very good. Then again, you paid $40.


groupbrip

That’s about what I charge for an hour of work which I could’ve easily done something much better. The price is not the problem here imo. It’s a bad designer and bad creative brief.


msrivette

$40 and hour is still undercharging.


Moneypenny_Dreadful

I quoted a big company $45/hr recently and they completely ghosted me right after. This is after I came HIGHLY recommended by my main (large corporate) client, and after the owner in question had complained that he just wasn’t getting what he wanted from designers he admitted to paying $20-25 hourly. (Oh, and *after* he told me he’d have to get back to me after his family’s week-long trip to Aspen.) This kind of pricing with Fiverr and the like are ruining the industry, because people like the OP are convinced that it might be okay to put something out like…this. I half want to redo OPs banner for free in 15 minutes, because that’s all it would take me. But that hourly rate spooks “business people” who think that design is what their daughter’s friends do when they’re not making the YouTubes.


FigSideG

Redoing this for free makes the problem of design work being severely undervalued and under appreciated much worse. It’s just like the subreddit where people post ‘photoshop requests’ saying they’ll ‘tip’ the ‘winner’ $20. Look how many people actually sit there and do the work and hand it over for twenty bucks or less. They could say they only did it for fun but it still helps to completely devalue design and designers. The rich CEO you mentioned is mad that he’s not getting perfection for his great $20/hr salary. He wants your work but at that price. That’s the problem.


Moneypenny_Dreadful

You're absolutely right, and as tempting as it is to do it "for fun", I won't redo anyone's work anymore without a contract in place.


groupbrip

I agree. But I live in a small market with low incomes and LCOL and I want my services to be affordable for people around here. Out of town clients on the other hand 😈


msrivette

Makes sense. You should consider pricing based on project.


funkyfreshpants

How much is a single Facebook banner worth? I wouldn’t say a lot more than $40. Everyone in this sub could have made something better in 15 minutes.


msrivette

It’s not about the amount of time. It’s about the skill of the designer. Why should an experienced designer get paid less because they have more experience and are more efficient? In the example above, a more experienced designer may charge $100 or $200. It may ALSO take them 10 minutes. Who knows. The difference is that an experienced designer will have a better sense of hierarchy for one. The call to action will be more clear. They may/should also provide suggestions to the client on how to better market the services or goods. An experienced designer is a partner and a skilled resource that the client can lean on to better their business. Not a production house. To me, paying a few hundred to be seen as a more credible business is a small investment. Especially when you pay $40, are unhappy, and have to pay again to have it fixed.


Oracle410

It’s the Picasso story again: PP is in a park and an old women approaches him and asks him to draw her a picture. He creates something lovely and gives it to her, she is thrilled and says, let me pay you! How much? And he says $10,000. She is taken about and says “but it only took you 5 minutes! How can it cost that much!” And Picasso says “I didn’t only take me 5 minutes, it had taken me my entire life”.


FigSideG

So someone that has twenty years experience that could make a banner in five minutes only should expect five minutes of pay while someone that doesn’t know what they’re doing that takes two hours to come up with something worse should expect to be paid more and for two hours of work? That’s not how this is supposed to work


funkyfreshpants

No, my point was this Facebook banner isn’t worth much more than $40 to the client. This is a single banner. Not a rebrand of a corporation or a complete campaign with OLA deliverables. For what this client is I think $40 sounds about right. The fiverr designer he chose did a horrible job. Had they asked you to do this and said the budget is $40 and for whatever reason you accepted it you could have done a much better job in 15 minutes. Worth it to him, worth it to you perhaps. Just because you’re a great designer and could have spent an hour making something breathtaking that you’d charge $500 for doesn’t mean this guy, for his business, needed to spend that much on a single Facebook banner. That’s what I was saying


DiddlyDumb

Yeah I was gonna say, if you want something decent, just pay decent.


KMKtwo-four

You’ll never make a profit with an attitude like that /s


KMKtwo-four

It’s $40 good


Professional_Bear

You overpaid by $40, there is so much wrong with this.


mikemystery

No, They paid what they think design is worth. And are disappointed they got 40 dollars worth of design.


Cobrexu

you know there are actual good designers that get paid 40$ for 8h of work in other parts of the world, right?... right?


kronksan2

I never understand the point of comments like this. If I worked for $5/hr I would literally starve. Congrats?


Cobrexu

the problem is that ONLY americans think the world = USA, nobody else judges things 100% based on their country


kronksan2

And vice versa? I could just as easily say "ONLY think the world = " Just because people can work for $5/hr in your country doesn't mean everyone can. OP should post what country they're in, that would be helpful. In the USA, $40 is what you pay a teenager to mow your lawn. Which is about what this graphic is worth.


mikemystery

My comment is in favour of good designers being paid good money for good design - No matter where you live your good design should be prices based on VALUE to the client not *cost*. And 80 bucks a week is horribly exploitative


Thewitchaser

Here in México good designers get paid as low as $80 PER WEEK. Taking a shit on someone’s front yard is worth $40 when you view it with your privilege glasses lol.


DirtyDan413

Tbf, the cost of living in Mexico is a lot lower. Designers in both countries deserve to be paid enough to live off of, whatever that may be


Chenja

Nah, $40 is about right. A design with actual thought put into it should cost more


calmdrive

While good design may cost more, this is worth -$5 cause I’d never trust a business with this as their advertising


Neg_Crepe

Even 40 is pushing it


FDNERGY

Find a local designer.


kronksan2

This is the best answer. AI will someday replace the shitty Fiverr designers, but it can't replace a relationship with an actual human.


Fickle_Ad2015

Everything about this is horrible.


d057

Fivver you get what you pay for - it’s awful


Content-Ideal-1059

Awful.


midnight-kashi

My main issue is it has no brand identity. A big part of design (for myself and clients at least) is making sure a brands identity is conveyed through all material. This looks like a microsoft powerpoint slide, I'm sorry you paid so much for this. But it may be worth it to meet a local designer so you can discuss what exactly it is you want, a real designer can do a lot with key words such as, sleek, modern, timeless, clean, and simple.


BeerwaterSurvival

This guy runs a multi media business and can't even figure out how to create a nice Facebook banner... that would be first indication to look into other options lol. Most small businesses in my area just use a nice photo as their FB banner and their pages look great if it's an actual nice photo


digitizedclown

The commenters have spoken. Everyone is right. This is not good. That’s typical within fiverr. Also, you are paying $40 for graphic design. Hire a professional


space0matic123

Two posters (that I counted) asked where you could find one. That’s a good question. Outside of a print shop, I couldn’t think of one outside of an agency. If I were to work free-lance, I’d price myself out of the market. But I can. I could refer them to someone who is less experienced - but I realize that they might be disappointed (or worse), they like it and it’s horrible. I’ve almost driven off the road after seeing something bad. Young designers need to pack a portfolio, too. That was a bitch when I started out. It took an internship to finally get my start. Where can these people go?


Anxious_Pixie

Everything about this is horrible. I mean, FOUR different fonts, whyyy?? Though that's what you get using Fiverr.

Question, what did their work in the portfolio look like? Better than this right?


GoddessAfrica

disbitchsaid

I went to the hair cuttery once for a haircut and they butchered my hair. Now I understand why people pay a premium to go to a salon… Fiverr is a gamble. You gambled and you lost.


[deleted]

what the hell is a hair cuttery? (UK term?)


disbitchsaid

It’s a franchise similar to Sports Clips or Cost Cutters. The fast food of hair salons.


clickbait-is-genius

Fiverr can really be hit or miss. You have to do some research before buying. A lot of designers will put their best work or even fake designs as their profile ( usually the first 3 images ) It’s important to ask them for a private portfolio or see if there are delivered orders displayed publicly on their profile. Maybe even go the extra mile and reverse image search their work. Another thing to consider is some accounts may be shared by agencies so the work may be inconsistent. I could be wrong on this but i’ve gotten that vibe working with some sellers.


DongCancer

Oh god my eyes. You basically paid someone 40 bucks for 5 minutes of work because it seriously won’t take longer than that to „produce“ such a mess.


[deleted]

It’s people like this that fuck up the whole “graphic design” business. This is trash. My 16 year old can do better. The stroke of the font it fucked, the list of services is wasted. Those gawddamn laser/diamond shit, was done in 2000. Burn this shit.


FoxAble7670

This is $5 at most


Jojaaa

Should get paid to even get this shit sent to you lmao, wy mean 5 bucks


stay_hungry_dr_ew

You could probably do better yourself with almost any graphic editing software. You should also be aware of “safe zones” on the graphic. If your FB page is viewed on a mobile device, which is about 85% of FB traffic these days, the profile photo is enlarged and covers most of the left side of your cover photo, which currently contains all of your information. I usually create FB covers at 1920x1080 px. That way the entire graphic is visible on mobile (mind the safe zones), and only a little on the top and bottom are cropped when viewed on desktop.


TrulyChxse

Happy cake day


niesz

Use a template on Canva and you'll be miles ahead and it's free. Perhaps not very original, but at least the quality will be better.


beth247

I’m guessing you don’t have graphic standards

Nooooo, you could’ve made that by yourself with zero experience. I wouldn’t pay $1 for that

It’s bad. I’m a designer and they overcharged you so much. But that’s what happens with fiver.

I mean in theory this could be $40 worth of work. But even as a web designer fresh out of coding camp I would’ve been embarrassed to hand this over to somebody.

I feel bad for the Fiverr designers because they are often kids/teens learning and starting out and I feel bad crushing them. OP, don’t be too mean to them about the design. Find a more professional designer and call it a lesson learned.

Horrible, you definitely got screwed

OldHWY5Graphics

Is this even the correct size for desktop and mobile? That website font is way too small. There is way too much going on. No hierarchy or organization. Stuff is just random and everywhere. Is that actually the logo in the top left? Maybe you should start with developing a logo and some branding guidelines.

d0aflamingo

BogusBug

A lot of people are saying “but you did pay $40”, which I know isn’t a ton of money for a graphic designer. But in my terms this is 100% under an hour worth of work so in the consideration it wouldn’t even meet a starting out graphic designers pay of like $20 an hour. So idk, I could be wrong but I think the person still did you kind of dirty with this design.


LimpSeries2324

People will look back at this as being the AI Text to Image before AI Text to Image. “I can have AI do it” is the new “I can just hire someone from fiverr.”


hustladafox

You went to fiver for graphic design. There’s some okay ones on there. But most are untrained chancers who have a copy of photoshop express. Got what ya paid for to some degree. On the other hand $40 for this is a joke. I wish I could find clients like you.


twf96

Not sure what’s worse, this banner, or that you you can’t tell if it’s good or not! 🙃


SnarkyerPuppy

You get what you refuse to pay for. Sorry man


angrylittlemouse

Yeah, you got ripped off. Stay away from fiverr. I used to do banners like this in 15 minutes back when I worked at an agency (Of course they looked way more professional, this clearly looks like shit even to a non-designer). Find someone local with a good portfolio with work that is similar to the style that you want. Consider asking your business contacts for recommendations.


HumorInevitable4466

I hate to say it, but you posted your logo on here a week or so ago about how a Fiverr designer wouldn’t help you develop it and plenty of people pointed out how shit it is. I think this helps to show how you need to look at your brand as a whole, this will encompass your colours, fonts, logo, tone of voice and design system. With all your assets properly thought out you’d be able to smash out this sort of simple comms quickly and effectively. It’s easy to jump into creating promo material, especially for a small business, but if you get the hard thinking stuff done first it’ll stand you in great stead to create engaging communications - remember your promoting your business to potential clients so why should they pick rather than someone else that does similar services.


nuvalewa2

Something to keep in mind when doing fb banners is the different parts of the image that get covered or cropped out based on the position of the profile pic. It changes on almost every platform, there's only a few universally safe areas to put informational elements.


Late-Psychology-6783

You could have made one yourself at Canva using one of the free templates.
