Right. The problem was, I was a freelance designer for the agency for whom she was the client. Work-for-hire, as it was. I never even met the client, much less was able to set terms in a contract.
And the agency most certainly wasn’t going to make a contract with me. Maybe if I was in a position of bargaining power I could have protected my interests. But it was 2008. A lot of designers were being let loose from agencies around the city, and Colorado Springs isn’t a huge market, like Denver.
