InPress

After discussing the Hyde park pub job with the rest of InPress I made a few calls and made some calculations, and following a discussion with Fred we passed on a quote of £800 for 4 t-shirt designs (10 screen printed of each, 10 of which we would print ourselves and 30 we would order from Calderscreenprint.co.uk to save on time), 2 A3 poster designs (8 printed) and 1 double sided A6 flyer design (500 printed). After costs we would earn £100 each, which considering the amount of time that we would be putting into this job is a very reasonable price. However the manager of Hyde park wasn't happy, so firstly we reduced the price to £700 by deciding that we would do all the screen printing ourselves to reduce costs. He was still not happy so after reducing it to £650 he still refused so we lost the job. It seems that he didn't take us seriously and thought that he could take advantage of us because we are still students. Although this seems to have been a waste of time, we are not going to let this deter us and are going to move on to other jobs, where people will treat us professionally.
