Hey,

How do people here rate 99designs.com? I've used them a few times and have had 1 great experience, and 1 less than perfect one... I think for logos for clients its a great way of getting a lot of options to present clients with. Which is great as it looks like you've done a whole lot of work lol! But for web design, it's a bit less good. I guess there is more to consider when building a web page, including what exactly needs to be on the page, so it's harder for someone else to really design something totally suitable.

Anyone else had any experiences with it? Or any other good competition sites for gettings web design work done? Flash work would be useful...

Cheers!

wow thats quite a big site. So many entrants, however.

It's a lot like logosauce, you're back to the $100 logos, if a site like that needs to run it should protect the designers by putting a minimum prize on each contest

[designer99]

I think logo contests typically award prizes of at least $250. That's what I paid anyway.

Theres also Global marketplace for logo design, business card design, graphic design and website design | crowdSPRING which i like the most

I believe there is a minimum to each kind of project there is. At least there was at one time, don't think they would've changed it.

I believe the min. on 99designs is $100 for a logo. But I just don't enter stuff I don't think it worth the time.

I registered on crowdSpring too. It seems like a decent site to try to enter logo designs in to. I kind of want to get my feet more wet, so to speak before I get totally into it.

I just wanted to see if anyone else on here is with 99Designs? I'm finding it lucrative already because not all logo artists, like on Logosauce, can actually design for print or t-shirts, so I'm submitting mainly for those areas and I won a contest already.

Anyways, the thing I don't like is the usual.... uncreative designers who need an epiphany from my creativity in order to submit something.

Here's a t-shirt contest I'm in and getting favorable comments from the client.... well along comes another designer and uses the same composition that I just completed that the client loves. Aside from my comment at the bottom of that page, how do you recommend letting other designers know that they should be creative without copying your layout?
