A honest word

hi every one
the first time i saw this website i was thinking that this is all i need in my life
but with time this idea really changed cuz of the stuff here
the top designers use open file !!! this is trully dishonest for the custmers and for other designers like me i work hard on every design but !! all my designs was illiminated at least give me some points to effort me to work more evey time i think that i will win they illiminate me why ?!

Hello Sama,
i know were you are coming from, but if u see a designer ( doesn't matter if its a experienced or new) using stock/open source files, just report them, it's the only way to make the website stock free. But make 100% sure it's stock before you report.

I see you haven't entered that many contests so far, it takes patience to win a contest and a good understanding of the industry you are in logo/web/print.

So heads up and keep up the good work, u'll eventually win.

many top designers use the same design in more then 4 contests even if their design won before ?!
thats truly dishonest and to be realistic i cant really continue work here

+ what do u mean by "i know were you are coming from" ??

please give me an example of a designer using a winning design for more than the winning contest?

There are also contest holders who rate more than required like above 70 to most of designs. It is just the contest holders and the site cannot do much about it.
And about the repetition after winning, it can only be reported and believe me, the administration works really fast on that.
*I'm not a promoting member, just an artist who appreciates beauty.

+ what do u mean by "i know were you are coming from" ??

i meant i know what you mean, and i understand, it's a saying

Its not my job to report any design ++ the admin must help contest holders in pooints because if it continue like that this website will lose all his designers in less then 2 years

well this designer used winning designs

and i think u should remove elimenated thing its destroying every designer on here

i'm sorry, but i think it is your job to report other designers,if u say you care. If you don't then don't report anyone
Every design website out there has a report option, because nobody ( except you ) can asume that the admin's can check every single design and designer.
As for designers leaving, i have to disagree with you, this websites it's been here for quite some time, yes the designers change over time but that doesn't mean it's going to loose all designers.

I understand you, but this "i didn't win" frustration is going to be present on any other website you decide to join, and from all the websites i've tried out over the years DC has the least copycats and even those don't last long because other designers report them or admins catch on.

As sharie said above, could you please give us an example of one designer that did what you accused him of doing? just to be sure that what we debate here is a real problem and not just some missunderstanding

Thank you,
Vlad

could you be more specific? what winning design was used in what other contest?
hard to go into the entire portfolio

I do not see any duplicate winning design, also this designer is one of the most honest designers here at designcontest, I am not sy this designer is our only honest designer but this designer is high up on the honest list!

Sharie, there is a honest list? Is it something anyone can see (or at least the registered designers here)?

Sama - we can use the same design many times until it wins. It matters if this designer used this design before he won with it or after.

savina no there is not a list. I do take note of the designers that are dishonest though and this is not for anyone else to view.

simply... a true artist will never still others idea.

coz originality makes great and good design

Hi Sama,
How come I reuse this logo as there is TLS in the symbol (abbreviation for The Locator School)?
