hey even I would like to see...

[Desh Premi]

pixelfiesta, please post some of the work here, stuff that you wont have any problem posting here.

[pixelfiesta]

No, I cant post them here for now!
Heard that saying. "Doodh ka jala, chaans phookar pita hai" Thats my situation!

[Desh Premi]

hain? didnt get it. does it mean 'Once Bitten Twice Shy'?

[pixelfiesta]

Yes, this burnt child dreads the fire...
But I am finding a way out.

Thinking, how can I post stuff on my site or forums and yet the clients don't have a problem with it. All clients dont allow you to do that, specially unpublished, yet to be published or even published work!

Any ideas, fellow DesiCreatives?

pixelfiesta, you have every right to share ALL released work because thats your portfolio and thats what you HAVE to show to get more work.

the client has every right to ask you NOT to share unreleased work! so thats how it goes.

of course if you want to share unreleased work, you can only do it discreetly.

[vikas]

but now I am curious to see your work too

@Lily:
1) Its not all that easy to leave a job just for the sake of your portfolio.
And I am still talking about some of my old pieces of work. But even those had got me into trouble. I realized it was unpublished work and had to bring down the site for a while
2) When I had posted my site link on this forum, the work section was open. Its only when I received a verbal notice I had to put it behind a firewall.
I am mailing you the login info.

@Vikas:
I understand what you are saying, but there is a legal angle to it also. We (almost all) designers sign a non-disclosure agreement which has several clauses and we cannot just violate the rules. There's lot to it. In the west it works much differently. In India one cant freelance if he is full-time with an agency. But all creatives do freelance work, thats a different thing altogether. I am mailing you the login info.

[silly lily]

thank you pixelfiesta for mailing me the login info. and i was only joking about leaving your job! (blush)..

[Allen Mathews]

SillyLily, your avatar is quiet funny. Is that your picture?

[silly lily]

[pixelfiesta]

@Silly Lily: Me too wanted to know if thats you real pic. Whatever your avataar is, its cute.

And Thanks Allen and SL. This silly discussion might get me more hits on my website

[Allen Mathews]
