DesignCrowd Uses the Internet to Get Businesses Fast Solutions to Design Problems
Small companies that require design work but don’t have a graphic artist on staff often struggle to come up with funds to get projects completed by a professional. Cool product DesignCrowd wants to change that situation for small businesses by using the Internet to help them crowdsource designs for many different types of projects. With DesignCrowd, companies post projects they need completed with a brief description of the reason for the job and what type of design they are looking to use. DesignCrowd’s community of graphic artists can then make different designs based on a company’s brief. The situation turns into a contest of sorts, where different designers post ideas and concepts for a company and eventually the user chooses a winning design.

Any company who has trouble posting projects on DesignCrowd will need computer tech support for assistance. Read more »
