    Hello DP,

    I'm interested in knowing the names of forums like Digital Point where there is a marketplace, especially a graphic design marketplace. Please don't share links. Just state the name of the forum that you know below if possible. It will be of great help for me and for others as well.

    I would recommend DP or Warriorforum. Stay as far away from V7n as you can. The mods there will ban you in a second it's ridiculous.

    Warrior forum does not allow free posting. I haven't tried V7n although, I had signed up long back.

    Would really appreciate if this thread gets more useful input.

    DP has the best marketplace as far as forums go. Namepros is another good one that is free.

    As readezarchive already mentioned, NamePros also has a Great marketplace which includes some design related forums to either market your services, find designers, or participate in design contests for cash prizes. It's important to know though, many of the rules are strict when it comes to honoring claimed services, business transactions, copyright laws, etc.. So be sure to read the rules of a forum before participating.

    When it comes to design (Especially in contests) NamePros doesn't allow designers to use / submit any clipart, stock, or other copyright protected images in a logo / brand / tm contest. As per 99.9% of stock / clipart sites (paid & free) license agreements, none may be used in a logo / tm since the original designer or photographer retains copyrights to the images. Which means one can't sell 100% full copyrights to a logo that contains images protected by someone elses copyrights.

    Great place to do business for anything domain, design, marketing, web related. Just be aware that the rules are definitely enforced there to help protect all the members (Buyers and Sellers).

    Are you a member at Jahirol Forums? I check the forum but the user engagement is too less.

    No. Just google it yourself.
    And I suggest you quit forums for work: make a portfolio and then advertise yourself.

    Thanks for the info :) I'm sure this thread will benefit both designers and people who are looking to hire designers.

    Ofcourse for me as well :)

    If youre a full fledged designer why not try microlancer by envato, this is not a forum but rather a marketplace like themeforest but for graphic design.
    Even though the project is relatively new I think envato big name is a self assuring guarantee for massive growth in near future.
