I have no problem contracting jobs to designers. However, it will be nice to iterate through a few projects with a crafty designer in a partner-partner setting as suppose to a client-vender setting.<p>Ideally this should be someone who not only understands the problems of user interface on a psychological level, but also is proficient in HTML/CSS/Illustrator etc.<p>Unfortunately, I just never had any friend like that.<p>I have been thinking about hanging out at art schools or meetups. Can someone who has some experience with this give me some tips?
Yeah, I feel you. I'm looking at <a href="http://99designs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://99designs.com/</a> and <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.deviantart.com/</a> right now.
