    Ok the prize is priceless because I really can't set a specific value...

    This is going to be a contest that has a prize that can keep giving!

    The prize is basically you winning a spot to be my or one of my designers/coders. So this contest isnt really for 1 job its for a chance to have multiple jobs coming at you on a pretty steady basis.

    I am a graphic designer myself, but just cant find the time to handle everything with only 2 hands. It has got to the point where I am losing money trying to make money which is no good. So I'm reaching out to the DP talent to see if I can find one or maybe 2 designers that I can network with for present/future projects. Win/Win for everyone!

    I need to handle design work and coding so if you are able to handle both obviously that would make your chance of filling the position slightly better.
    So please list ALL services you are capable of doing. However I do have a couple requirements below.

    Means of contact: We must be able to atleast use a messenger, phone would be a plus! And I HAVE to understand you. I realize there are talented people from different regions, but if you cant speak proper english that wont work for me sorry.

    No amateur work: Most of the stuff I work with is music related and needs to be pretty flashy, eye catchy, bold with a 2.0 fresh UNIQUE look. So if your just learning need not apply, this is for someone pretty skilled in the field.

    Turn Around Time: PLEASE! I cant stress this one enough. I understand people can have a busy life, but if you are to busy to handle business when it needs to be handled please do not apply.

    Prices: Have to be reasonable!!! Look I can bring you plenty of work, but your prices have to be good. You take care of me, I'll take care of you! You keep me happy, I'll keep you happy thats how it goes. You hit me with high prices, I'll go with next hungry designer thats looking for steady work simple as that. Remember we can be friends but business comes first!

    That is pretty much it and incase you are wondering, like I mentioned I work with music related stuff for the most part so most of the work will be web sites, landing/sale pages, logos, cd covers, blogs, e-covers, banners, etc.

    Sorry for such a long post, but if you made it this far I'll assume you recognize a good opportunity. So please drop all your info, websites, portfolios, prices, and anything else that can help me pick why you should be the winner.

    I will let this contest run 7-10 days. That should give plenty of time for all of you to show off your work. What have you got to lose?

    Good luck!

    Huh? I'm not sure if that was your attempt at being funny or you just didnt read my whole description?

    I am OFFERING work, not looking for it....So I think my credentials are irrelevant...

    Let's try and stay on topic here fellas, if your not interested simply disregard my contest.

    Thanks!

    wow, you guys are to funny.

    Maybe you guys/girls are not understanding me fully. Not sure to be honest.

    I am looking for some one to fill this position, basically sub contracting some of my work directly to you.

    Maybe I am being ignorant, but where along the way do my designs have anything to do with anything? We will not be working on graphics together, I will just make you my go to guy when I don't have the time to get jobs done. Or when I am to backed up with other things.

    The person I choose, I have no problem going into further details, but to be honest I'm not putting all my information out to everyone when in the end its really only going to apply to the one or maybe the 2 people I decide to choose.

    Look at it this way...when you go for a job interview and the employer asks to see your resume for a position he has available for you...Do you then start asking to see his resume? I don't think so...and if you did, I can assure you that you would most likely not get the position....

    Now with that said, if you are here to question me about irrelevant matters then please dont bother. But if you read my description and are looking for pretty steady jobs then drop your portfolios or past work. I am not asking you to create something for me, just showcase the past work you have done. Is that to difficult to ask?

    Everyone that has sent a message via PM I will be contacting you shortly. Thanks for seeing an opportunity when one is presented.

    Take care all!

    Well I think if you were applying you would want to know information about the employer and what he does, and a overview of the company.

    Anyway thats beside the point, Ill drop you a pm shortly!

    Ace I understand, I guess I'm just funny with putting all my business out to everyone when I know I only plan to work with 1 or 2 people...I'd rather just go into further details with those couple people versus the whole forum...

    Also

    Mitcharr and everyone else that has replied via PM I have responded to you....

    I will let this go a couple more days to see if anyone would like to showcase work, then I will narrow down the people and choose...

    I plan to keep you guys posted along the way, if you have any other questions feel free to reply or drop me a PM

    thanks again..
