Good work...however, nothing we haven't seen before. I applaud his use of color balance.
As for making a living, if his work isn't templated he's working too hard for too little. Even if he finished a unique cover in 3 hours for $70...that's $23.33 per hour. With client revisions and email exchanges, that's perhaps a half day, not to mention the searching and gathering of photos, perhaps 4 to 5 hours total. That's a day of FREE WORK!! Also, unless he's doing 2 to 3 projects a day ( which I doubt) he's experiencing downtime with no pay.The truth is: WE AS DESIGNERS PUT IN MORE TIME THEN WE THINK ON A PROJECT. Also note, that as design trends change and clients demand more visually, he will be working more for $70 then he thinks...unless he evolves.
This can't be he's only job...and even as a side hustle it won't last. Come on, think about it? Would you take $70 to put up with the flakiest, cheap ass, bastards whom want our talent? Hell no!!!!
