crowdspring

When Paul needed a brand for his new business focused on guitar accessories he came to crowdspring.“I have used crowdspring for years. As a very creative person myself I typically use it to help me when I get in a design funk and need some inspiration to move my design for a client to the next level.” - Paul Paul Holcomb is a User Experience strategist and frequently does freelance design work for clients. He is very discerning when it comes to design and is very capable to design on his own.“I couldn’t come up with this many unique design concepts on my own. For a very affordable price I am able to get a ton of ideas and either work with the designer to provide final files that meet my discerning needs or simply buy the design and play with it myself. Massive amount of value.” - Paul

Asia Bird learned about crowdspring after reading Tim Ferris’ book, the 4 Hour Workweek.Before using crowdspring, the High Stats app had a very bad design and User Interface experience. Instead of thinking about the overall design, they just started coding and the result was, according to Asia Bird, 'pretty bad.'Asia Bird came to crowdspring because she knew the app needed a better UI design, a more cohesive look and stronger branding. Although she wasn’t an artist, she had some ideas for what she wanted and needed help executing those ideas.According to Asia Biard, ‘all of the designers were really easy to work with and they did an amazing job of taking my ideas and turning it into reality. I loved all the designs submitted so much that I ended up buying 2!’“I got a TON of excellent designs in just a matter of days. It’s so hard to pick just one, but it’s way better to work with multiple designers and get multiple options. The process of getting submissions and providing feedback helps to refine exactly what I want, and I feel I get an exponentially higher quality of design using the crowdspring process. I had much more control over what I get by working with multiple designers, and designers try harder because it’s a competition”

LG is a successful, global brand. They’re known for innovative products across many industries. But LG, like many other large and small businesses, must constantly innovate to stay ahead.LG was faced with a problem: how do you create a revolutionary new product with so many phones already in the market?The way LG chose to answer this question shows their culture of innovation. Instead of relying solely on their internal team, LG leveraged crowdspring to source ideas from talented product designers around the world.LG offered $75,000 in awards to receive 1,086 unique concepts.Crowdspring’s product design projects are 50x to 100x cheaper compared to working with an agency.This is why crowdspring scales well for small product entrepreneurs or large corporations: you set your budget based on what you need.Ehtisham Rabbani, V.P. of product strategy and marketing for LG, expressed his excitement for using crowdspring: ‘We’re very excited about this competition because it gives consumers, professionals, students and design enthusiasts all a chance to exercise their creative imaginations and have their ideas be heard.’“With these priceless submissions, LG not only gets closer to the future of this industry, but gets to share in the thrill of discovering it with our consumers as a guiding light.”- Ehtisham Rabbani

‘I started with a logo and was blown away with the value. So many custom designs with designers that made updates based on my feedback. I still can’t believe I only paid around $500 for this level of design.’‘When I needed a package design for the ice cream I knew other firms were charging thousands to create what I needed so I came back to crowdspring. The designer I ended up awarding had incredible knowledge about the packaging requirements for frozen desserts.’‘We needed a premium logo and package because I wasn’t interested in a race to the bottom with prices. Our pints will sell for $10-11 each because we don’t use extracts for flavoring. Our Raspberry Chocolate is only made with fresh raspberries and French Valrhona chocolate. That isn’t cheap to make and we can’t display it with a cheap logo or package.’
