Pimpstar:


You're doing great sir.. please is it because i failed to make the design in the required size or what...cos i followed all the client request to the last letter

yusufu16:


Note: It is a contest/competition. So a client can ignore your design if he/she doesnt like it and pick another design.

On crowdspring, some design agencies even run contests. So you will need to be extremely good and excellent to win their contest. You dont just submit a design and expect to win. Remember, you competing with designers with at least 5 years experience. E.g. the #1 designer on designcrow has earned over $2m (yes thats N960m)

Pimpstar:



yes i understand.. but it is there quality team that refused my three designs

yusufu16:


It means your designs are not up to there standard.

Pimpstar:



see what i did.. client said they want CD art cover for spotify in minimalistic style just black and white . And they want Christmas hat on their head


would modify the post after you see it sir

yusufu16:


common, you are not to decide what client want or not. Dont assume client will always like your design. In crowdspring, I entered 21 different contests, before I was able to win my first contest. So you see, you just registered barely 2 days ago, and you expect to win?

Pimpstar:



i know the client always picks one out of thousands of designs.. But what I'm saying is that their quality team that approves one's design as a beginner before you get approved, they are not making easy for beginners to get verified.. i did three different contest and all were rejected.

is there a secret to getting approved on designcrowd. on design contest it doesn't require approval or issh like that.. and the client decides to pick from the start not that it goes through a quality team before the client sees the design.


You know they maybe able to determine quality and stuffs because they are guru in designs, whilst the client might not be but would like the design. I f they are just not helping freelancers with whatsoever quality stuffs they do.. on design contest you would see good and wacky designs.. it depends on the choice of who sees it. but this design crowd own too much.. They don't even want the client to choose from array of choices available they only present the best what might be the best for them might not be for the client.

yusufu16:


The only secret is you have to be very good. So if they reject your design, it means you are not good enough

yusufu16:


No. I base in Abuja

Haryoureendey4:
Ok bro.... after seeing this ur thread, i decided to create desingCrowd account, have designed like 3 different projects but they denied me and went on to deactivate my account after spending lots of sleepless nights

yusufu16:


As i said you have to be extremely good. Some clients even pay upto $3000 for design, so they wont accept low quality design

So, you need to go and learn more and improve your skill

All my designs were rejected also despite all the effort I put into it .The fact is that they are not making it easy for beginners

yusufu16:


Yes their standard is very high.

Julius209:

yusufu16:


Yes

Please I'm finding it difficult to upload on design crowd. It upload and stops halfway or even more.
Please is there something I'm missing out? Because I've been reading the guidelines since and I'm not seeing where the fault is coming from.

yusufu16:

Evening Yesufu, thanks for this thread. One of my designs got selected as the winner on designcrowd. Currently in handover phase.

I want to ask if there's any security or ID check as per 1st time winning. And also, how long does their payment take to process?
