    I think he’s not impressed that the site encourages spec work.

    However, the site design itself is very nice.

    Nice design, though reminds me a little of Ploc Media.

    I’m surprised this is on a web design gallery. Isn’t this like a purpose-fail? The gallery is to encourage custom designs, and celebrating this site basically shoots down the value of custom work.

    Hmmm… purpose-fail.

    “We’ve tried to find a balance that works for everyone. Here, the buyer pays up front and the creatives get to work right away. We promise buyers that if they don’t get at least 25 entries to their project then they can walk with a full refund. In return, we promise creatives that their projects won’t go cancelled or abandoned for no good reason.”

    What happens to the other 24+ designers?

    IF YOU’RE DESIGNER, PLEASE BEWARE TO PARTICIPATING ON THERE.

    CROWDSPRING RIPPED OFF MY AWARD PRIZE! THEY BANNED ME WHEN I’VE BEEN CHOOSED AS THE WINNING ENTRY.

    BEWARE

    tiana, the same thing happened to me and im pissed. Dont participate in crowdSPRING! I did days of work to stay on top of my entries and I was about to win 3-4 contests but they banned my account because Someone reported that I stole there logo but all that happened was that our logos looked similar. Then crowdSPRING doesnt even talk to both people to get the story, they just assume what they want and make actions based on what they see. Stupid way to run a site.

    SO ALL IM SAYING IS DONT PARTICIPATE IN CROWDSPRING. YOUR JUST GOING TO DO A BUNCH OF WORK WITH NO GUARANTEE OF GETTING ANY MONEY. AND YOUR JUST GOING TO GET F****D LIKE THE REST OF US.
