I assume that no one is interested in this competition? Maybe my suspicions that there are no good designers here is right
Sorry, But I have been looking for a professional web designer for nearly 2 weeks, and I have not found one person who can do a professioncal flash design for me! I would sing the designers praises here if there were any! Maybe someone can prove me wrong?
maybe the good designers out there are not looking for a prize like that. not many want to be employed ....... by one single company its running a change on it becasue the site is not yet established. if you were to offer a solid prize of say $2,000 you would get hundreds of people designing your site and what not.
I could do it but not for employment. I can put it together for $1200. But considering the previous insult I think I will charge you $3000. Let me know. Thanks, Ray
Wow, Jon that was one of the most tactless posts that I have read in a long time. Digital point is full of talented designers, I see their work every day. Just because your contest didn't entice them doesn't mean they aren't here. My mother used to tell me "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". My mom was full of good advice. thallewell
Aside from your insult, your offer isn't even that great. Being the lead flash designer for an unestablished site would most likely mean boat loads of work for only 25% of the profits is a bit too low. You would be better offering a flat rate for the first project and a percentage of future profits. Currently a lead interactive designer's salary is in the neighborhood of 60-70k +benefits without having to submit an entry to a contest.
