It is really incredible how much value you get for the money with 99d. I think I may have gotten lucky in that there was one particular designer in my competition that was exceedingly motivated, very good at communication, and willing to go above and beyond to develop the design even in the early phases. I am a designer myself (architectural) but I don't have the facility with graphic design production to crank out dozens of designs in such a short time, and I function better as a design critic to evolve a concept -- and I can't think of any other way to have this kind of design process with such little $$ investment. Very positive first experience overall.
