graphicPUSH is a design site that discusses print design, web development, in-house creative and the business of design.

99designs works by essentially soliciting spec work from its registered designers. Those “savvy clients” just got a shitty design, the winner got some shitty pittance for their effort, and all of the other shitty designers got jack shit for their shitty work.
