As a designer, the trend towards crowdsourcing competition websites is a little bit troubling. Something that this article tends to gloss over. Designers spend so much time working on creative drafts for clients - and traditionally this would be fine due to the knowledge of certain payment at the end. Crowdsourcing websites prevent this from happening and many of my colleagues are adamantly against such an approach.

However, realistically, crowd-sourcing does have a place in the modern design world. Particularly now, when redundancy makes designers "freelancers".
