99 Designs Website Review

Designers – for the most part hate the term ‘spec work’, which if you are unaware is the creation of a design to be judged by the customer for the mere chance of getting paid after your hard work. This is the basis of the website ’99 Designs’, where you post a contest and designers have a stab at the brief you’ve posted to take away the prize.
