Finding a good graphic designer?

[GSeybold]

Finding a good graphic designer? Where do people go to find a good, RELIABLE graphic designer? I used a few companies online but inevitably they ship oversees, and often times there is a language problem, and the time line never happens. I've tried here but already two members were not reliable. So where does a person go to get a website header made and all the other stuff one needs for a website. I pay well so what is the deal in finding someone reliable?

Oh I don't tell me to go to companies like Logoloft and all those others. They can be the worst to deal with and many of them can't keep tract of what designers the farmed my project out to.

So I just spendtabout 2 months getting my money back from paypal because this designer(of course oversees) up and left the company and didn't even tell me and the company (out of San Diego, CA) could not be reached for weeks after repeated emails and phone calls?

Frustrated!

Good job taste is subjective

I'd recommend looking at entrants on 99designs.com and looking for designers who make things you like. Then you can approach them privately.

Alternatively you could run a design contest on there. I know a lot of people who've had great success on it.

Is that a backhanded slight? Wow - didn't expect that one Dean...
Anyway - Yes I have done quite a few designs that I'm really proud of - most of them do not appear in my JacquiiDesigns portfolio unfortunately - and I'm so lazy that I cannot be bothered to update it anytime in the near future anyway. In fact the site itself is unfinished.

I do indeed believe I have excellent taste when it comes to designing for my client though. I have a nice list of testimonials and will be happy to provide references if needed. I do not know if I have ever consulted with you GSeybold - but for some reason I've a weird vybe... IDK...

Anyway - I will be happy to consult with you on graphics design. My contact info is at http://JacquiiDesigns.com.

Jacquii.

btw - if that was a negative little commentary Dean - You know where to stick it. Otherwise... Whatever.

Dean thanks for this info but I need my design to be private.

Jacquii. No I've never consulted with you I stopped using this site for outsite work as I've had some problems here. )I looked at your site and you do lovely work. I'll PM you or contact you through your site. Thank you.
