I wrote a novel then erased it. All I'm going to say is get your facts straight before making non-professional assumptions. FYI, I hired a coder, and I'd guarantee he wasn't the cheapest in town. These contests are about ability and communication, anyone can do a 1-2 page design. Treat this place like a business, as you never know what kind of contacts you can make here, or bridges you might burn... And to note, Nothingman's design was nice, not taking anything away from him... See you in the next one. - Ryan@Colourworks Designs

Yep, If I knew that coding would be a factor in deciding winning entry I wouldnt have bothered to enter...

NothingMan quite clearly had the best design.

This annoys me: Got this through as a private message from the CH -

"Are you able to include coding in the overall award price or would charge extra? If extra what would you charge to code the site? I am factoring this information into my decision

Best

Jeremy"

So basically - who ever is cheapest gets the gig. I thought it was based on the Winning Design?

Congrats! Colourworks :)

Thank you sir :)

Congrats! :)

@ NothingMan - Thanks bro, I really like your posted too you have a strong entry ;)

@ Nothingman - I don't agree with the copyright comment. But i'm not going to get into it. I understand your opinion.

@ cyrixian Finally someone that actually respects some common sense things. Good job mate, and a good post too :)

@ Colourworks. I am tired of sending private messages, some people just dont care. And every contest I enter someone rips off my design! So I must ask someone nicely do stop doing me harm?! Why dont I rip off others designs? Because its wrong! When entering contests I review all the entries so Im sure there arent copyright issues. And a lot of people go: "Oh, sorry I didnt see your entry!"

I see, thanks Colourworks :)

thanks for the heads up on the link, there are some nice ones listed...however, there is also a link about additional commerical use requirements, but its all relative and easily fixed if need be.

Hello,

Yes I didn't design the icons, but I used it with a legal. Because those icons are a free share/ free download

Thanks

I revoke that last comment. After re-reading, I think your intentions were good and not meant to discourage.
