Cedric King CEO of Dap-Rugget, Inc. has on numerous occasions requested weeks worth of design work and marketing specialties and has never properly compensated me for it.

He has asked me to do sales catalogs for a various array of clients and has never paid me or compensated me for it. Ontop of this he has claimed that I had no involvement with the production aspect.

This is a separate report from the clothing design issue because I have also done marketing materials as far as hangtag packages, poster designs, and many other things that have not been paid for after the work was done.

Cedric King CEO of Dap-Rugget Inc has not an iota of design skill or graphic design ability, instead he likes to copy other people's ideas and take credit for the hard work of others. This is a warning to any serious graphic designers and college students as well.

Cedric King never pays on time and when he does pay, it is never what was agreed on. I would have taken him to court a long time ago but I almost felt sorry for him in that he is someone with a vision but has no way of communicating it visually outside of his gift of gab.

I also have the breakdown files to each and every design I've created for Dap-Rugget Inc yet he claims I have no involvement with the company.

Cedric King pulls this tactic every year and never benefits from it. Cedric King lives in a fantasy world in which he is a celebrity and he feels he has to make other people look bad in order to boost his reputation.

There are 10 other graphic designers and writers who have all been ripped off by Cedric King. All of them have been insulted and slandered to the extreme extent. I know because Cedric King used to call me and spend hours badmouthing other graphic artists and clients. All of them seem to have the same problem with him. There is even an R&B group that goes by the name of Jagged Edge who has utilized his services for clothing design purposes and Cedric King failed to deliver.

Untruth

AUTHOR: Henry - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 16, 2006

The best way to hide a lie is between two truths. There has been a rebuttle to my post but it he has obviously just taken the opportunity to plug his company and dodge the focus of the posting.

In conclusion, I would like to say that it has been almost 2 years and I still have yet to see a copy of the technical package that I paid him for or a refund of my money. I attemped to collect the money all summer and he told me he would pay me Friday for three months straight.

As far as the comment made about the emotional aspect of things, any and every human being on the planet is emotional about money that they get conned out of, inless they are a millionare and have thousands of dollars to throw away.

AUTHOR: Cedric - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 16, 2006

I am going to be brief in my response to this obviously emotional and unwarranted barage of untruths.

I employed, taught, and helped this indiviual better is life for the past 4 years. He has always been able to pickup nice size paychecks from the work he has performed working with DR,Inc. While he has a talent level doing graphic and illustrations that is superior to most, as you can see from this obvious emotional attack on me and my character, in in effort to bite off the hand that has feed him for the past 4 years. He lacks loyality which is one of the key components in building sound business relatioships. I am not going to get into all the specifics that is for my attorneys to sort out.

I will tell anyone reading this do your own homework on me and our DR,INC team. We have launched brands for many companies over the past 10 years and have been very sucessful in doing so. If a late payment ws recieved by this indiviual or no payment at all, you have to ask yourself if you are as talented on your own as you say you are why didnt you say something then and stop accepting jobs from DR,Inc.

DAP-RUGGET, INC. has been around for over 10 years, we just relaunched our brand and as we are evolving as a company. That being said you cant take everyone with you. Not everyone is going to be happy with your success. I have chosen to use other very talented graphic designers, graphic artist, designers, and merchandisers to continue our quest to make sure DAP-RUGGET is putting out the very best product and the brand is being presented in a DR manner.

As the lessons from fashion and world history teaches us, fashion is coveted and is the greatest form of expression and the first impression identifier of a person's being. We hope to inspire a few people to see fashion as it really is the fusion of cultural expressions, colors, silhouettes, and images.
