I'm tired of excuse "everyone has his own right to give opinion" when his opinion offends someone else.
Mr jayce, i am not offending anybody. Thiefs can hide among new accounts pretending to be designers, steal a template from anywhere, then use alts to vote for it. This is normal to happen in any contest opened for public.
I have no problem with your reasons, but try to show some respect to new designers.
All my respect to all honest designers, including you Mr jayce.
And if you're a good project manager, you should have considered that design contest is one of some ways to catch people's attention on this forum.
That's right. But seriously, spending a considerable amount of money just to create logo + signatures and spend more effort + time to run a contest is inexpected. The same amount can help hire a professional designer and promote the project for one or two weeks in a signature campaign or wathever.
Seems you are a type of manager who try to spend as little as possible for your own project. It's okay then.
No i am not.
I am not blaming jacksclub to run a contest. I was just confused if the contest is to find the best design or to promote the platform.
If i am about to make my brand (logo+banners...), i think i should visit someone professional. Then use those signatures and banners to promote the project.
I'm sorry OP for making mess on this thread. It will be my last response for this issue.
A mess !!
Thanks for the nice discussion and sorry for op if my opinion offense him or the new designers.
