The contest was hosted by crowdsourcing site DesignCrowd and Freelancer.com.
‘KRudd’, who Tweeted about the contest today, said: “Shane is a great guy who is putting in the effort to start his own small business. He had a range of great ideas and really embraced the spirit of the competition. I wish Shane and Studio71 all the best for taking his business to the next step. I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of entries, so thanks a million to DesignCrowd and Australia’s talented graphic design community.”
The DesignCrowd contest received 405 designs, Freelancer.com 450. The entries can be viewed on Designcrowd’s website.
The contest launched in October.
Wow!
Isn’t crowdsourcing effective!??!!
117 Designers wasted their time and talent and provided their work
absolutely free.
Designcrowd…you are providing such an excellent service to the industry
Well done!
Please no…
How about “Sack the Ruddy Lot of Them” ?
Hey Tony, I doubt anyone was holding a gun to their heads.
Hey Tony, DesignCrowd merely provide a service for freelancers and clients to connect – whats the difference between them and an Account Manager? As for designers wasting their time and talent – I can tell you from experience agencies presenting creative propositions often walk away empty handed if they dont win the contract. So again… whats the issue?
How about ‘Where the ruddy hell are we?’
What a Ruddy disaster!
yeah Tony, they entered a competition, they lost, cry me a river
Lets be honest; ‘Turnbull for PM’ would have got a lot more support!
Well, he does have ruddy cheeks. Don’t you just want to squeeze them?
How about I’m back, so get off the couch Tim, unless you want Jasper and Abby’s fur all over you.
Paul the freelance writer – your comment may have been funny but Jasper passed away a few weeks ago…..
I think its great and to the point.
