The quality sucks, so the price is cheap. How is this different from anything else. I can get my nephew to design something for free.
I will call it nephewsourcing.com

To be fair if all the entries are that shite a good designer could just jump on there and win every contest with really rushed work?
Who's going to be first haha.

Can we come up with a craigslist ad with his photo/info??

Also, the kinds of companies that use these services aren't exactly going to be paying a designer the kind of prices we demand. So it keeps them out of our hair in a way. Leaving only the clients that know the true value of creating and maintaining a brand.
Let them have their bulk designs it just means their competitors that use a real designer will thrive because their product will stand out from the rest. Assuming the "high priced" designer did what he/she was supposed to do to deserve that kind of money in the first place.

I wonder whether he paid 'next-to-nothing' for his Prova site?... I highly doubt he'd risk it...
Its ideas like this that will harm our line of work most. I don't see how our industry is treated differently and valued so poorly compared to most others...

What's fucked up is that websites actually publish these bullshit companies. Who the fuck is the editor responsible for approving this crap???
We should create doctors, lawyers, journalists, engineers crowdsource sites every time one of these goes up! Just to level things up y'know...
And send it to all media outlets and see who posts it...

As I say, as an industry we get thoroughly screwed over.

dude, if these guys can make a business out of it, it's the fault of the designers who enter these contests.
the problem is with gullible designers. not the businessmen who take advantage of them.

this Tanya, has no clue about this subject and figured posting something 'cool' about 'advertising' and design would be a good piece and get some sort of attention while fill up space and her quota for the month.
Talking to this idiot is a waste of time, she is not a real journalist and I won't waste my time trying to educate someone who first, doesn't give a shit and second, needs to work on HER own education, professionalism, etc.
These companies will continue to appear but will eventually be gone before anyone notices.
My question is where is David Prova??? He thought he would get away with a scripted response to jay's post, but boy! was he wrong!! Where is this cuntface? why doesn't he respond to comments and act as the CEO he claims to be?? Fucking clown!!!
