I have read the sitepoint article by Matthew Magain”Design contest made me a better designer” and the response of Anthony Zinni in “99design stoops to new low attempts propaganda” via Design Intellection’s 99designs and the Harmful Effects Thereof article.
I wrote a quick response on Anthony’s article, but I decided to do a proper follow up In this article.
I think Crowdsourcing is good idea for participants. I will make this case by using a simple scenario.
A Scenario
I have just finished (assumption just for this case only) my studies, and I am looking for a job, I want to make a career in designing(again for this case only) I know I am good (but how to prove it?), my grades are not good, I don’t have contacts to get me started.
