Using comments to pin down requirements : Pathway to win a design project..
It has been noticed by us that using the message board judiciously helps you to win a design contest. Designers who have won contests were sent some questionnaires and they specifically mentioned the importance of the message board. Planning is been made to launch a private message board too for designers to send private messages to buyers. In this way if a buyer likes a particular aspect of a designer then he or she can ask the designer to optimize / refine that part of his design so that so that he or she has greater chance of winning a contest.
The public message board also offers great versatility as everyone can exchange thoughts and ask questions to the buyer to clarify any part of the brief. It acts as a secondary project clarification board. So take full advantage of it to see yourself in the winning seat!
