The Alamat ng Butiki project was done a long time ago, so this is just about collections. I had submitted the layered files (as requested) and was paid my first half of the money. But apparently Lampara is picky about their layered files. They wanted it in Photoshop format, not as TIFFs. After ALL that time I was asking for feedback, they don’t send me anything… and now this! Yeesh.
So I basically used up another 2 hours of my time to go there and submit Photoshop versions.
One thing I learned from this, publishers need to be educated just like any other design client. Now if they STILL ask for layers of my work, I’ll simply tell them that what’s flattened is flattened and that I really don’t have any more layers for them to play around with. I suppose some publishers think that just because it’s digital work that there are SUPPOSED to be layers. Well, no. Sorry.
