Not for complicated projects
This is a 3 start review because of the customer service, they are awesome and ready to help you be successful. I think the contests are great for simple projects such as logos etc. My truck wrap had too many details to get the designers full attention and time invested. We did not achieve what we had hoped for: to have a print ready design. Two stars for that reason! Too many details I described in the brief were overlooked, like what side logos needed to be for example. Also, I hoped for more professional designs. I expected basic graphic design points to be covered, and I picked them out as an amateur to be wrong for the eye. Some ideas were just off with colors, proportions etc. Some were so disorganized that I could barely find the important information like our name. Designs stretched out to the edge of the truck that didn't make sense and needed to be addressed individually. Again the truck has a lot of details to consider and plan around. Communication was difficult at times to bring across my wishes. Wether this was due to language or my communication trying to explain, probably a bit of both. Once I had picked a winner, I had to keep bringing up the same issues again a couple of times. If all you need is a logo, you can just choose which ones you like and not. Not that much explaining and communication involved as here. Maybe it would have helped to increase the winning prize, but after two weeks of explaining the same points over and over, I feel I am better off to spend the money with a local designer. I have to go to a designer where we can sit down and work on all those details that are still missing. It was just to complicated a project to get it all right over the web. I chose the best design to at least acknowledge the effort. Sorry to write a bad review, I was so excited to get lots of ideas. In the end we only had 7 designers and after "un blinding" the contest they all looked similar. Thanks to the people that made an effort. A suggestions stays, to really study the brief next time.
