There is a new way to get things designed, its called crowdsourcing..
It used to be that when you wanted to get a logo designed you would go to a designer you got recommended to your found online that had a decent portfolio. You would ask the graphic designer to make you a few drafts. You would get back three drafts that you would review. Chances are you didnt like any of them. They you would tell the graphic designer what you did and did not like about the designs and he would keep at it till the right logo came out. Imagine if you had 99 graphic designers do that for you at one time. How awesome would that be. Well the time has come. Its called crowdsourcing. Go to a website like 99designs.com or crowdspring.com and you make a request to have a team design something for you. Within hours you get many designs you can choose from.
