Nothing against your contest but top designers charge more then $200 a design.

Not much of a contest if you ask me

Hmm most I have seen dont charge over $100-$200. But every has their own opinion.

apscripts · 07-16-2004, 01:15 AM

This is porn people, not Herbalife. $200...pshh. Come on.

DatingGold · 07-16-2004, 01:22 AM

ok I'll just buy one for $100. If anyone wants to submit one they can win $200.

good luck to the winner

so does this mean I can win right now????? hehhehe

i agree with sandMOOOOON, 200$ for a TGP is way too fucking cheap bro... someone representing a program like ur-self shouldn't be so fucking cheap. we all know u got $$$$

Most "designers" here make logos for a $50 logo contest. Compared to that, this is a goldmine

DatingGold · 07-16-2004, 01:42 AM

Ok here's the deal.

Most Gallery designs are $15-$30. We were shopping for TGP designs and they were $50-$150. Not one designer quoted me over $150.

Most banner or logo contests are $50.

This is a TGP design which is basically a gallery design and the price is $200. I thought by offering $200 the $50-$100 TGP designers would want to show off their design skills and win $200.

Sorry if it turned out to not be enough ,but from the brief research we did we thought it was.

We thought it would be a win-win for everyone plus they get $200, guess I was wrong. next time we offer the contest what should we offer for a TGP design?

johnbosh · 07-16-2004, 01:48 AM

If I was a designer I would submit something cause a TGP only takes 15 minutes to do if you know how to design. It's bad business not to post something.

Dragonsxxx · 07-16-2004, 02:01 AM

you can get awesome designs for under 200$ so for the designers that doesnt charge alot this is a good deal.

I have had designs made for 20$ (actually a nice design) and up to 275$ and alot in between.

for me the most expensive designs have worked out best for me, been giving me better productivity, however it's not only the design you use but more importent is the thumbs you choose on your site and your server speed and offcourse a good and fast trade script (UCJ, TM3) and a fast thumb script (Tmanager Gold) but im pretty sure you allready knew that, so just posting this for some newbies

DarkJedi · 07-16-2004, 02:05 AM

TGP design contest fopr 200 bucks ?

LOL, you should offer atleast $500

enter » · 07-16-2004, 04:02 AM

$200 is more than fair for a basic TGP but your examples of what you're looking for include cartoon characters which usually ups the price and the difficulty level.

I'm not a cartoon designer but I'd be happy to whip out a TGP with some kind of a card theme without a cartoon character, but I hate to spend my time doing the work if it's not really what you want..

machinegunkelly · 07-16-2004, 08:01 AM

Theres an effort for ya .

I can make any changes , optimizing etc if I win .
I would do a toon , but I charge more than the prize , so I can't justify it to myself .

and your point is..?

I was just explaining why some people may have been complaing that $200 was not a large enough prize. I had no complaints about it, I just wanted to be clear at which direction my submission would be coming from.

Haha that is very cool I like it! i think people are just thinking they have to do some $1500 design to make DatingGold.com happy. But this is a just a TGP, not a dating site design.

That was just and idea.. I never realized those cost more. Anyways look at the one submission we got. i think its good.

DatingGold · 07-16-2004, 09:19 AM

Every single designer on GFY would submit to this contest if they knew how much return business they could get from us. Like I said it's a bad business move in many ways not to submit something, especially for the small to medium guys /gals.

Well .. for a toon logo and TGP design I charge $255 and up ..
I think the toon is whats driving them away , a TGP is not nearly as labour intensive as a good toon character .

Haha ok ignore the toon character...

tyler86ed · 07-16-2004, 10:21 AM

I think the reason that designers are turned off is because its a $200 contest. Like Platnium said, Hell yeah I'll make a TGP for a client for 200 bucks, probably even $150, but for the chance at $200, its just not worth the risk involved.

Why do you think everyone jumped on KRL contest, because it was 1500 for one header. So KRL got to choose exactly what he wanted having probably over 100 designs to chose from. That was defintely worth the risk.

You get what you pay for.

BTW, I would be happy to make you one for $150. No contest though.

i understand, I think what site you submitted is good.. and dont understand why someone else doesn't do something similar. They can say I can do a toon for $XXX if you want that too.

?300 for a thumb tgp design from spycam granted is he probably the best designer i have ever met but your $200 contest is still not much.
