SXSW Video: 99designs – Design Contests
by Allen Stern on March 17th, 2009
99designs is a service that was born in the Sitepoint forums which allows designers to "bid" on contests. The company describes the service as, "99designs connects clients needing design work such as logo designs, business cards or web sites to a thriving community of 30,023 talented designers."
99designs launched last year at the DEMO conference. So far 99designs has helped run 19,000 contests, awarded $4 million dollars and more than 50% of the contests lead to follow-on work. The company was founded and invested by Sitepoint executives.
Check out my chat with Jason Aiken, Business Development Manager at 99designs:
Hi Allen,
Just thought i’d jump in to let you know i’ve used 99designs several times including for my current website http://www.Cognation.net
it’s a great service
You should also check it out for brochure designs etc as welll, I’ve had great experiences finding eastern european designers to do brochure design for two of my clients.
Cheers,
Dean
hi,
sometimes we need to collect a new design for a unique blog, but 99design is a very recomended service.
Thanks.
