How do I know if I should run a Design Contest or a Freelance Job project?
You should start a Design Contest if:
  • You want creativity or lots of choices;
  • You are not sure what you want your design to look like and you are open to ideas; or
  • Your design task is of low to medium complexity and just 1 or 2 files (such as a logo, a business card design or a website design mock-up)

You should run a Freelance Job project if:
  • Your design task is a very simple, specific task where you have a definite view of what you want (such as, "a vector file with the name Steve Smith in Verdana font and the color yellow");
  • Your design task is very complex and you don't want to pay the world for it (such as a custom, very detailed illustration or a large completely functioning website)
  • You need a website that requires special functionality or programming (such as accepting payment or recording customer registrations)
