Client review
We had a great experience with meltproject.
We got something that really captured the 'spirit' of what we were looking for. meltproject was very responsive to the tweaks we asked for towards the end -- and these were important for us, as we wanted to really feel great about our book cover.
gre.gpag9Along the way, they met lots of talented designers…
We think contests are a super fun way to get design.
