    yeah elance sucks.

    and the designers on there for the most part suck more.

    tons of indian companies.

    i searched 20 pages of portfolios and found only THREE designers capable of doing the work i'd like....

    I'm thinking about outsourcing the work and acting as a project manager.....

    the problem is that we as an industry have NO structure.

    lawyers have to go to school and take the bar....doctors...something similar.....etc.

    anyone can call themselves a designer...and it hurts us as an industry.....

    they undercut our prices and then we cant get the work, plus when we do, the client wonders and questions why they're paying so much more....they think we're ripping them off.....

    there needs to be some standardization within our industry....some type of certification or whatnot to get rid of the shit.
