Default The worst work you have ever done... and been paid for!

Ok, so anyone brave enough to post examples of work they would class as awful that they have never the less managed to generate money from?

I'm very curious, I will post mine once a few others have posted, you will be shocked!

Mick.

I haven't got any I can think of but I'll give you an emabacing admition...

When I built my first site I made sure I put a link to Google on it as I thought they'd rank me higher for it. I know, how wrong can you be.

(PS. This should be a bit of fun, but be a little careful as the forum is spidered very well and you don't want to post a site a current client could see in a search engine)

I think most people did that at one point. Still funny to look back on.

im not sure about worst.. but most interesting way of being paid!. I did a flyer for wonderbra once:

http://www.reese-design.co.uk/freelance6.html

> my boss knew the girl who worked for wonderbra and she asked him to find her a designer for above flyer. Boss suggests me, and so therefore I design the flyer.

a few weeks later my boss sheepishly hands me an open package.

I was paid in underwear for doing the flyer!

the boss said his wife opened the package as it was sent to his house!! do i believe him?
