I personally am not offended, but I think any of my designer friends would be if I forwarded them this offer. Why don't you just steal somebody else's design, that's what most designers do anyway.
Sincerely (with panties in a bunch),

Subject: Design Needed
Greetings All:
We have recently acquired a client that desires a global cosmetic change to their website, in addition to a conversion to ColdFusion/Fusebox 3. We have been given permission to spend $150 to acquire 3 design templates from a qualified graphic artist. One of these design templates will be chosen as the new overall design of the site.
The right person for the job will have the following qualities:
1. Willing to provide the three design templates in an Adobe application (preferably Photoshop) format
2. Willing to produce three fully useable basic designs for the price indicated ($150) (i.e. Once provided to us, we have everything we need to develop and deploy additional navigation, etc., with no further contact with the designer required)
3. Willing to provide live examples of prior work, for a variety of different websites
4. Able to take a current website, and given the existing information, provide an original, creative new look that can be implemented easily as a fusebox 3 design template
I know the price is fairly low, but the design will remain simple. An artist skilled in Photoshop will probably not have a problem "kicking this out" fairly quickly. The client is non-profit with a tight budget... and they are doing wonderful and important work (which may make you feel warm and fuzzy for donating a little time?). We do not need Flash, heavy animation, or extensive javascripts/rollovers. We need a "nice new look" for a relatively small site. This client is THE authority in their field, and this is basically the "official" website for the topic they cover.
In addition to the money earned, we are willing to provide a link from the completed website to a web location of your choice, to give you appropriate credit for your work. Also, there is no giant rush for this request... we'd like the three samples in about 3 or 4 weeks, which means you may be able to fit this work in between other jobs.
If you are somehow insulted by this request (either because it's been posted to this list, or because of the low payout, or any of the other reasons that inevitably get people's panties into a bunch), please do us all a favor and just ignore it or delete it, instead of voicing some soapboxy diatribe online. I am already aware of what I am asking here, and don't need to be reminded that it may be unreasonable for a certain lot.
However, if you are interested in this request and the payout it offers, please respond off-list, with links to your live examples. We will choose the designer from that point, and contact you with all the information you need.
Thanks for your time,
Advantex
