What do you like best about 99Designs?

99 design is a platform where contests sell and buy design services.

The basic operation is that the person who needs a logo, a book cover, a product label, a web design ... is registered on the web, fill in your brief where you give the information of what you are looking for, decide how much you want to pay and Create a contest for 7 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 99Designs?

The first thing I have to say is that I do not like the theme of design contests.

It seems to me that in any profession in which competitions are held, the professional is degraded and their work is not valued with dignity.

An example: recently my sister calls me and tells me that there is a brand that she likes very much that she has opened a contest for designers to send their proposals for the bags of the new season (we are going to have a full-fledged packaging job). The prize: a € 150 voucher to spend on your products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 99Designs:

1º They will receive many more designs, it is a great variety of styles, that if they hire a professional so they do not have to think about the general concept, they save the art director.

2nd That type of work costs more than € 150

3º You have to spend your prize if or if in your products, the money returns to your hands!

It's a win-win, but for the clear company ...

As I said and I think you can understand, I'm not a fan of this type of contest, but in turn, as I do not like to judge or criticize something without knowing it first hand, I decided to register in 99 design and today I tell you my experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 99Designs solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are different price packages, which means that the more you pay, obviously better designs will be received and there is even a plus package in which only selected designers with a great track record on the platform participate.

During the contest week, the designers who sign up for their contest send proposals and receive feedback from the client so they can make improvements in their designs and be the winners.

Once the stage of proposals has passed, the client has the option to close the contest and decide if he does not like any can leave the contest deserted or choose the designs that pass to a final of 3 days where the designers make changes regarding the feedback they receive and in the end there is a winner.

What do you like best about 99Designs?

I really like that I can start a contest and get a wide variety of options and work 1:1 with designers during the contest to get their designs as close as possible to what we're looking for. I also really like that if I know what I want and I have a designer I've worked with in the past, I can work 1:1 with them and get quick projects across the finish line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 99Designs?

I don't like that there isn't the option for me to create a profile that includes company information, what we do, and common documents I attach to my contests and projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 99Designs:

There are designers from all over the world connecting through 99designs. Sometimes there are language barriers but if you're patient, polite, and clear, you can make great things happen together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 99Designs solving and how is that benefiting you?

We don't have a large in-house creative team. We're a very small business and we don't always have time to create the assets we need for our marketing efforts. 99designs helps us get our projects done quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about 99Designs?

99designs is platform where you can meet graphic designers and outsource graphic works such as logo designing at an affordable pricing.when we order we get multiple customized design options from which we can choose the one we like and thats a great option. the money back policy is great and you could get your money back if the submitted designs do not meet the criteria that youre looking for, the interface is something to talk about. its actually very beautiful and you could feel it too. the platform is very easy to navigate through and simple too. when designing there are several options available, we can give the requirements such as coulor and such and also there are several price tiers available from which you could choose the one that comes under your budget. also there are options to hire a single person or crowdsource the work according to the budget you have, you can also send the logo for revisions if you like. the customer service is great and always replies fast to your questions and i'm very satisfied with them.

What do you like best about 99Designs?

There was an easy way to communicate with the designer, the platform was comfortable, and the end product was good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 99Designs?

There were many hours spent organising with the designer, they seemed new to the process and there flow was choppy and felt unorganised.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 99Designs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Branding and identity was our goal. We realised working with a local designer face to face would be more efficient to understand the broader scope of the work, that way it would be a more organic interaction where we could ask more questions and have a better conversation.

What do you like best about 99Designs?

Numerous entries, unlimited reiterations, ability to get a number of designers providing their input to pinpoint the exact design. Very helpful when you're unclear on the directions you want to take with your design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 99Designs?

Low overall quality of entries, most designers reutilize the same concepts over and over, a lot of copying, takes too much time to get your points across, since the people have different levels of language as well as different communication styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering 99Designs:

Stay focused, do not allow the number of entries to overwhelm you, try to have a good idea of what you want before starting, otherwise you'll spend tens of hours sifting through dozens of sub-par entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 99Designs solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rebranding, Graphic design for pront, and social media use. Fast turnaround, OK quality of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
