9 Places to Find Affordable Graphic Design
Need to have some good-looking artwork done for your next T-shirt, poster, or album cover?
No sweat. These days there are dozens of web sites where designers and other creative freelancers can be found.

Here are 9 of the best ones I found that cater to graphic designers:
Crowdspring.com
Set your price & deadline. Choose from actual custom design work submitted by freelancers.
99designs.com
Works a lot like Crowdspring above.
GeniusRocket.com
Ditto for this one too.
Threadless.com
A site where hundreds of designers submit t-shirt art.
DeviantArt.com
A place where visual artists showcase and sell their work. A good place to discover a fresh indie designer for your project.
These next two sites are focused more on logo design:
LogoTournament.com
DesignContest.net
Of course, you can also find good, affordable designers at the bigger freelance marketplace sites, such as:
Elance.com
Guru.com
Happy design hunting!
