@redbourn,

Ok I see. Don’t get me wrong about my message. I understand that ‘as a customer’ you want to double check quality of the people you want to work with. But if you place yourself on the other side, you might understand that asking a “trial” is all but a mark of consideration. From the moment you are requiring a work, even a dummy one, it’s actually work, time hence money. That might possibly explain why the designer doesn’t show much effort here.

If you go see a mechanic for your car, do you ask him to repair only a part of the car to decide if you will keep on working with him ? Once again I understand your point of view and not judging you at all. I am just trying to introduce what might be the designer feeling here.
You should choose a designer on what he did (a book for ex.). Later if you want a piece of work, state exactly what you want and require a quote for that preview. I am certain he will become more enthusiastic if ever this is the problem here (I don’t know him and he might disagree totally).

That’s my humble opinion and I think i will stop commenting here as I presumed this is the point where the thread could easily turn wrong. After all it was all about costs and I am the first who displaced the topic.

Hope this comment is helpful anyway.

Loic
