Graphic design website...

[AdamPearcey]

Ok there is a website where companies ask for artwork, then other users create the artwork, be is logos, fliers, web sites... Etc.
The company then selects a peice of artwork from a designer and then pay the designer...
What's the website called?!

I know I'm being vague but I've completely forgotten the name of it... I used to use them a couple of years ago and got a decent bit of cash from it.

If anyone knows it would help so much, thanks!!

As a designer?

The whole idea is hideous, TBH. :|

 

[AdamPearcey]

Hideous in what way? As a photographer you design/create a moment that you feel you can show off to the world. Graphic design is almost the same thing.

I'm guessing more the fact that you don't get any decent interaction with the 'client', and potentially end up doing far more work for nothing, than you get paid for.

Yeah there's the point of interaction, but if you compare it to photography, there's less competition, less start up cost, and rather than aiming at a single person, group or company, you can appeal to a much wider Market.

TBH I don't mind either but I've been doing design since I was 16.
