In the screenshot, what the heck do those pie and bar graphs represent?
Also, seems strange that he's coy about the name in the text, but seems to show it on the screenshot.

#13It's the response that bothers me the most:
>I figured :)
It's hard for me to comprehend how little they value their reputation with such a response. $<1000 apparently. Shameful.

#14What company was it?
Looks like eligibleapp.com
If it's them, maybe ask Katelyn Gleason if his version of the story is true:

#15The op has, hopefully, learned a valuable lesson: don't work without a signed contract.
That said, the comp should have just paid or, at very least, tried to negotiate the amount thought I don't think that's worth the effort either. This is such a paltry amount as to not be worth the effort to fight.

#18Pay the guy his money, but man, that design is pretty bad.

#19I'm going to go out on a limb and register a slight discomfort with the increasing use of HN as a "court of public opinion" in very fact-bound disputes like this one. I can sort of see resorting to it out of desperation, but I'm afraid the Internet Lynch Mob has a very high ratio of outrage to effort spent actually investigating. This post has 84 upvotes in 21 minutes, which suggests a very quick investigation! So, the potential for erroneous snap judgments in such a Court seems high. The designer here may very well be in the right, but I don't feel qualified to judge or do anything about it based on the available information, any more than I do with the hundreds of other designer-client disputes that happen on a regular basis.

#20I hope the screenshot is fake data and not violating anyone's HIPPA rights, otherwise this designer is going to be in a lot of very hot water over this.
