Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren’t interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?
I know it’s not easy for everyone but I think if one would say “GIMP!” with bit more confidence it would already help a lot.
Instead of doing the awkward:
“I-I use G-Gim…” sweats nervously “uummm Gimp… It stands for GNU Image…” ÜwÜ
Alternatively just say “I edit/create the images myself and use Canva to animate it”
