Don't Work For Free - Exposure will KILL you
Today I received an e-mail from a big production company asking me to do work for them in exchange for exposure. This i something that is becoming more common place as business seek to save every penny.
The big problem is that many young "creatives" feel that this is the route they need to take if they are going to get a foothold in their industry.
My advice?

Your work is only worth what you think it is. Your work is only considered by the value of the marketplace, and what you bring to the table. It’s a cold hard conundrum. A person must create value, or art is only for art sake. Art that is used to solve the worlds problems can be applied creativity. Art that is just art needs to seek out and find its inherent value.
When value meets art things change. We still live in a world of value. People have different values for different things.
Bang on! !00%

Yes really what you say, I agree and like your opinion. Congratulations also to those who get offers from big companies. every job we make is draining against the physical and our mind, therefore our work must be paid according to the competence we spend on the job.
Thank you, it needed to be said, and all I can hope is that I help a young freelancer out there.
good advice
Thank you very much :)
