How to Leave Feedback for Designers at 99designs.com

Feedback is the Key

Whether you are looking for a fantastic logo design, web design, T-shirt design or any other design – Giving designers good feedback is the key to getting great results at 99designs.com!

How to leave Feedback

1. General Comments – You can leave general comments/feedback that is applicable to all the designers in the main comment area at the bottom of the main project page

2. Star Ratings – It is a good idea to use the star ratings as it gives the designers a better idea as to which direction you want the project to head. You can assign between 1 and 5 stars.

Here is an easy way to think about the stars:

1 star – Has potential
2 stars – Right direction
3 stars – Good design
4 stars – Great design
5 stars – Leading contender

3. Individual Designer Feedback – You can leave specific feedback for an individual designer in a couple of ways:

  • Rate the design using the star ratings and a text box will appear
  • Click the design to enter fullscreen mode and enter feedback using the floating feedback box
  • Click on the designers profile name under the design you wish to provide feedback and leave comments on their designer page

Thanking the designers for their submissions is always a good idea :)

You can SAVE A TON OF TIME by using the feedback tool – http://bit.ly/dmS9NZ

To ELIMINATE a design that is way off the mark or otherwise inappropriate:

  • Hover over the design
  • Click the “X” that appears in the top corner

Eliminating designs that are off the mark is a great way to keep your contest area organized!
