    What I am looking for is a full page full bleed ad for Xbiz Magazine.
    Lets see how creative you can be....

    Basic information, but please be creative....

    "Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Co-Location"

    I want a think saying "We now offer VOIP business and residential services too!"
    like something that will stand out and say that....

    Telephone number: 858-560-2760
    or Toll Free: 866-682-9275

    Web site address: http://www.splitinfinity.com

    Something colorful and exciting and classy....

    Our colors are lime green and black and white... take a look at our web site
    for the scheme.....

    Im open to new ideas....

    I will allow the winner to put their "This ad designed by yourname here and phone number" incorporated into the ad.

    I will also use the winner to do an entire paid ad campaign.

            Whats the prize?

            Not being a dick but a prize to have a design ad in a trade mag?
            That is really kinda a weird proposition...

            Wheres da Monay?
            Unless The winner gets to have his design company on the ad?

            Nah thats still not it.

            I dont get it.

                    What kind of time deadline are we looking at here? I know you said you need it by morning, but we've already shut down the studio and I'm about to head home for the night. I can probably do something first thing in the morning but it depends on what time you need it by.

                        OK.. Chris can't be bothering his ass doing his ads for recognition at the next Xbiz awards, so can someone do it for him - for nothing??

                              Webby - I already said the person I choose will get a fully paid contract.
                              This is a last minute thing and an opprotunity for designers to showcase their work.

                              Hey Webby.... you read and talk like an addict.... get out of my threads little man.

                                You did not specify the "paid" part.

                                  Well, that depends on the designers rates.....
                                  If they are fair market value and meet that of their work, then all is good. :-)

                                    So let me see if I get this right, you want an ad designed FOR FREE, then you want to hire the designer to do a full ad campaign for you ONLY IF THEY DO IT FOR THE PRICE YOU WANT?

                                    Man, put down the pipe...

                                      Did you speak CJ?

                                      That was one of these little details you missed - about the "fully paid contract". Although you did promise something about using the winner for an ad campaign. I'm impressed!

                                            "So let me see if I get this right, you want an ad designed FOR FREE, then you want to hire the designer to do a full ad campaign for you ONLY IF THEY DO IT FOR THE PRICE YOU WANT?

                                            Man, put down the pipe..."

                                            So you are a designer right? And you want work, right?
                                            Well we have a huge project and we want people to show us their shit.... that simple.
                                            Lets see how you rate DamageX, up for the challenge? :-)

                                            Seriously now... I have over 6 months worth of design work backlogged
                                            and I want someone GOOD at PRINT and WEB BOTH! So fine.... do the ad
                                            if I like the damn thing, ill pay for it. If not, then you suck and well.... I wont use it.
                                            Simple as that. :-) I just want to stop beating around the bush with designers...
                                            I have dealt with soooo many and I have to tell you, if you are good, then great....
                                            But my experience has been negative with lots of GFY designers... except Alien of course.

                                              So you are a designer right? And you want work, right?
                                              Well we have a huge project and we want people to show us their shit.... that simple.
                                              Lets see how you rate DamageX, up for the challenge? :-)

                                              Seriously now... I have over 6 months worth of design work backlogged
                                              and I want someone GOOD at PRINT and WEB BOTH! So fine.... do the ad
                                              if I like the damn thing, ill pay for it. If not, then you suck and well.... I wont use it.
                                              Simple as that. :-) I just want to stop beating around the bush with designers...
                                              I have dealt with soooo many and I have to tell you, if you are good, then great....
                                              But my experience has been negative with lots of GFY designers... except Alien of course.
                                              If i pay you $8k - you pay me $7.5k...deal???

                                                    It would serve well to do this really.
                                                    Getting a print ad design in a trade mag is no biggie but has some indirect measure for promotion in spots not economical to buy into.

                                                    But I know Split guys have alot of work backed up for design. I am locked on a project with em already. I might be done in another week to take more

                                                    Hell just contact em and get you're portfolio over to see and if ya do not like the terms of this move on. For some designers its a good start to get yer work seen out there

                                                    I am not a fan of the trade mags most of ya know this but the exposure is always nice or useful from time to time.

                                                        I don't do challenges. I get paid. If you want work done by us, I will be happy to quote you, upon providing me with a project description. Otherwise, sorry, I have pretty much all my staff tied up for at least a week and I won't drag anyone out of bed for challenges.

I just kinda despise the attitude you initiated this thread in the hope that some poor sod would get to work for you for nothing in the hope of getting some claimed "credit" of producing artwork and the vague promise of a "paid contract".

                                                                                It might be an idea to get a clue on copy dates and pay a designer to produce a decent job without all the "promises", "design contests" and bullshit.

                                                                                And... good luck on getting your artwork finished on time!
