A bit of a delicate one here - I could end up shooting myself in the foot, but it does highlight the pitfalls of calling in favours.
So, lets say, I have a friend who wanted a logo for his business. He approached an old friend who he knew to be something of a whizz at graphic design. (It was a bit of a cheek as they had not really been in communication for several years). The friend kindly said yes, however that was several months ago and there is still no sign of the logo. I am - sorry - my friend is - convinced that the finished product will be superb and well worth the wait (and will represent a significant saving in professional costs), however he would really like to put something on his website and stationery now!
Of course, the simple fact is that if you are going to abuse people's time & skills you have to accept your place down the pecking order - usual business rules don't apply! He'll just have to wait. I expect something might appear on this site soon!
