Stop your whining and get back to being overpaid to mock up banner ads.

OSFA:
She was actually nice on the phone, I don't hold it against her, or Prova. Truth is Crowdsourcing is here, and some designers are all for it.
My concern is that Prova says his business model targets a need for companies looking for a solution "between Freelancer and Ad Agency" which I found insulting, it should be "between my own nephew and freelancer".

I have a feeling all it takes for a good trolling here is to scour the internet for a bit about crowdsourcing and suddenly a 100 response post inflates.

So has anyone ever "crowdsourced" before? Cmon I won't tell anyone..

- yeah, when I was freelancing a few years ago I entered into a couple of competitions.monospaced
- I won one of them. Made $500 in a day. I guess the other two I didn't get paid though.monospaced

I know Miguex, BUT this guy is very cynical about this and THAT pisses me off. When some douchebag thinks he's smart enough to bullshit people and recycle a business model as low and degrading as this one, I do have to blame him and in some weird way, hate.
Why? Because these type of idiots are the reason why I have to fight and spend an extra hour sometimes, explaining my freelance clients what these companies really do, how it is NOT a good resource for them, etc... I can't feel sympathy for this guy, sorry.
And I think I already explained how I feel about the """journalist""" and why.

That's just silly. With this guy's model you only get the first 3 of like 10 levels that are available - and that's only on the most basic level. The reason why you pay less is because you get less:
computer 101*
photoshop 101 *
laying stuff out on the page 101*
typography 101
color theory 101
composition 101
communication 101
(a few more 101s i can't think of)
design 101
