Leading Designer Marketplace

Although this post is over a month overdue, I really wanted to get the word out about this great site since its really worth a look for anyone that wants to make some money while you do what you do best or want to get some work done at a decent price!

The Question

Have you ever wanted to tap into design talent around the world and get something designed without incurring absurdly exorbant costs? Or are you a designer that wants to get paid decently for what you do? Then 99designs is the place to visit…

The Reach

There are over 15,000 talented designers from around the world at your disposal that design everything from logo designs, business cards or web sites.

There is good new for designers as well, prize money up for grabs by designers: $54,309

How it Works

Step 1: Create your Design Brief Few simple questions form your design brief. A design brief is just a summary of what you need designed. It costs USD$39 to post your brief on 99designs.com

Step 2: Set Your Budget How much you’re willing to pay the winning designer to purchase their design. This is called the prize. Prize amounts generally range from $50 to $500 depending on the type of design you require.

Step 3: Work with the Designers Once your design brief has been posted to 99designs.com, designers from around the globe will submit design concepts to compete for your prize. It’s your job to rate the designs and provide feedback to help the designers deliver what you want.

Step 4: Choose Your Favorite Design At the completion of the design contest (which is a maximum of 7 days) you will choose a winning design and pay the designer the prize amount. The designer will send you their completed design along with copyright to the original art work.

That’s all there is to it. Take a look at some of the design contests currently running and see why 99designs is the best choice for your next design project.
