Pitching

[katypical]

Hi Community, I've seen a job where the client asks for a design solution to be included in my proposal in order for me to be "considered" for the job. Is this sort of thing normal? I've only been on Upwork for a week.

Asking for free work is against the TOS.  Flag the job.  Is it normal?  Sadly, yes. Tell the client you will be glad to provide a design solution for a fee.
