Fuck, for some reason my comments show as gabriel.... WTF?
Anyway, here's my little input...
After reading your response to Jay Larson's comment, I had to take the time to post and let you know, David Prova, that you can try to mask it as much as you want, but the fact is, that you are just another crowdsourcing site that will be in business for one or two years (around the same lifespan of your so called clients, yes those brilliant CEOs and small company owners who think they are benefiting from a site like this)
David, what is your background in this field? What agencies have you worked for? Do you have a portfolio to back up a statement such as "Prova's unique angle teaches our designers the "science" behind effective advertising" or did you borrow it from a book you read before starting your 'business'? Please share some background information, I would love to learn more about you.
I can't blame this 100% on you though, because sadly, there are many 'designers' who submit work and play these games since they can't find a job n the field or never graduated design school (yes dear business owners, those guys are the 'designers' working on your awesome logo!)
You might make a few bucks and feel important with your self-given CEO title for a year or two, but then you will fade away, like hundreds of other sites that have done, before you, the same thing you are promoting. If you are lucky, you might end up working as an 'in-house consultant' for one of your now clients.
Before I go, I want to thank you, as a designer with dignity and self-respect, because you are cleaning up the pipes for the rest of us. We all know how annoying and pointless is to deal with broke, deadbeat, ignorant and ego-issues business owners who... let's put it this way..... belong to sites like yours.
