That’ll Cost Ya!

Entry 12

Since thanksgiving is right around the corner, we have been printing several fall themed posters and promoting many events that include the serving of food. However earlier this week, there was a legal review, (that luckily only victor had to sit through for 5hours) where they indicated many new Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to creating new orders and what we cant include in the graphics. It was made apparent that we are no longer allowed to advertise any clients personally products, outside of what we distribute for them, unless of course they are billed for it, as then it works as a freelance design order, commissioned by our graphics department, and is billed separately from any graphics that are produced to promote our merchandise. I had no idea we were able to freelance for other companies as a graphic unit, as I thought we were solely doing design work for the beer companies alone. But it turns out that two of my orders actually included information that was not allowed to be in the poster, unless the client would pay for it. Victor was able to help me clarify to the sales reps that submitted these request, where one of them decided to cancel, where the other one was able to get the restaurant to pay for the extra information included in the poster.
