Design crowdsourcing service DesignCrowd has launched an innovative, new design
crowdsourcing model that addresses the flaws with the traditional crowdsourcing
process through what it calls "Crowdsourcing 2.0" - crowdsourcing where multiple
designers get paid.
DesignCrowd now allows customers with graphic design projects to handpick their
favorite designers from around the world while keeping the project open to other
designers.

Small businesses are tuning to the cost and efficiencies of crowdsourcing and self-employed
people are using it as a new platform to tout their expertise to a worldwide market...
Alongside odesk.com, websites touting crowd sourcing pepper the internet from designcrowd.com
to freelancer.com and elance.com. The first two are run out of Australia and are
a result of mergers or offshore takeovers.

Crowdsourcing design company DesignCrowd has launched an innovative blog contest
and is offering over $2,000 in prizes to bloggers and graphic designers...
Alec Lynch, founder of DesignCrowd.com, says "We have around 15,000 designers who
already use the site and we hope they will get behind the contest. The more interesting
the blog, the more tweets it will receive and the more likely the person is to win
the prize."

Crowdsourcing design company DesignCrowd has developed a new crowdsourcing business
model to let design agencies, printers & other design related businesses use crowdsourcing

their own clients and leverage DesignCrowd's 13,000 designers as their own virtual
team.

It's no wonder crowd-sourcing has been described as "outsourcing on steroids" –
few trends have had as much impact on the way small businesses can compete with
their bigger end of town, by giving them access to low-cost, high quality services
from anywhere in the world across the internet.
"It's about giving opportunities to people who have talent but don't necessarily
have their foot in the door in the industry," Lynch says (founder of DesignCrowd).

(On Designcrowd) you can browse the design contests in the "web design" category,
pick projects you’d like to have a crack at, and set a small "participation 'base'
payment" before you submit a design. Once the client picks the favored design, if
you’re the design contest winner, DesignCrowd will pay you your fee via PayPal.

Crowd sourcing is revolutionising the economics of doing business ... Alec Lynch
[Founder of DesignCrowd.com] calls crowd sourcing “outsourcing on steroids”. He
says: “the chief benefit of crowd sourcing is the ability to harness multiple suppliers
to work on one project. It’s also lower risk because there’s no need to tie yourself
to a single supplier. It also drives better responses and quality of work compared
to the traditional outsourcing model because suppliers don’t become complacent.”
