lack of quality? is that so ive been a veteran of 99 design contest and digital point contest and has a very high percentage of win ratio, how can you question quality and etc. your reason suck. stealing ideas for your benefit, it wont make you rich
Great work sarsh. Good thing you watermarked it. Need proof this guy is a scammer?? Look what he says above Now look again what he says here above. First he says a "VERY nice design" and then he says the only one he liked was one sent via pm. Want more proof he is a scammer? The only itrader he's got is from someone who he paid not with money but with a link to his site and then he moves from not paying any money to doing a contest where he pays $300. Yeah right....
Haha! the whole thing is pretty self-explanatory.. People him should be taken care of.. Srsly, go get a life Dr. Googler, Designers here are smarter than you think, or I must say smarter enough to outsmart an idiot like you. -_-
I would recommend not to enter a contest which requires more than 5 hours of work if contest holder has less than 5 itrader, or looks suspicious. Also make sure to read all his posts, threads, investigate a little more about contest holder. A few hours as a spy will save you a few hours/days of design work when submitting your design to a dead-end contest. His reason is because he doesn't want someone to copy it? C'mon that's a lame reason, no mater if it's before or after who ever wants to copy a design would do it anytime. Beside, this is a contest where lot of people, designers view the designs. You want some privacy? Hire a designer privately. If you really chose a winner, then I'm sorry for this message even though it may be helpful for a lot of newbies here entering contests.
This remark is not only ignorant and rude, but also down right untrue. From looking at other contest entries, shinan is one of the best designers I've ever seen, so get your facts right before you go spurting your idiotic and unconsidered words around.
Thanks kate and kiteguy.. Dr. Googler's comment really got on to me.. Im definitely doing something about him.. This really sucks.. I hope all of you guys' entries here get sold somewhere and you earn something from it since you guys must have took a lot of effort on your designs.
This Dr Googler is notorious. He gives me a bad rep for calling him a scammer and yet he doesn't defend himself in the thread. I mean what can be more obvious? Well, as soon as I get more positives guess what Mr Scammer, more reds will be coming your way. Come on, how dumb do you think people are??? You have only one itrader and the way you paid that dude was not with any money but with a link. And then you move from paying no money to running a $300 contest. Really, do you think everyone is an idiot? And then you say: I bought via pm but I cannot reveal who the designer is and you also claim you paid him more than $300. This is more crap than I've seen in a long, long time. But here's a positive suggestion to those designers being ripped off. I think the designers who get ripped off or scammed should give each other a positive rep and then they should each give a negative one to the scammer (CH). This way no designer loses any positive and also the scammers get their negatives 9plenty of them) which would be good. Just a thought. It's up to the designers whether or not they implement this policy to weed out the scammers.
So what? What does that prove? Or better said what is it meant to prove because according to everyone's understanding you took advantage of designers, insulted their works didn't choose a winner and then you claim someone else sent you an entry via pm (no itrader) and this designer wants to remain unidentified. Oh yeah, and you paid this designer even more that the $300 prize. Of course we should all believe this crap because you have only ONE itrader which you got not for paying anyone with money but with a link. Here's a clue: not everyone is as stupid as you think. Oh yeah, and I hope the designers rep each other so then they won't lose anything when they give you each a negative (you already got two negatives from me ). Also, I don't know how you pick a design because this new website doesn't match at all the colours of your logo. Anyway, you're brighter than everyone else so I'm sure you have good reasons as to why a red and black logo is placed on a mainly blue website.
I know what his intention was! He posted his link on the first post as we can see this topic became popular with over 75 posts as of now as i am typing this. I am betting 100% that everyone went to his site, even who didnt design a template and he gets a free hits. lol too many people's time got wasted.
