Frankly speaking, a couple of times my graphic design ideas was stolen by unfair customers, even though I didn’t send them my works in good resolution or vector. You know, to repeat something is much easier and cheaper than to create from scratch. So now I don’t even think of the project in graphic design business before getting paid at least half of the money.

Sometimes I was upset that work which I’ve done was much harder than it has been paid for, therefore I can much better evaluate real cost of my work currently.
