We will pay you via PayPal. You will need a PayPal account which you can get
for free at www.paypal.com.
To get paid you must submit designs to briefs that offer payment. However, this does
not guarantee you payment. You must submit within the base payment cap (see
What is the base payment cap?) and your designs
must also meet our Minimum Design Standards. |
|
The amount you get paid depends on:
- How well your design performs. This will dictate whether or not you are selected
for a place payment.
- If your design meets our Minimum Design Standards.
- Whether or not you receive a base payment.
The size of your base payment depends on:
- The base payment amount for that brief. This is different for each brief and
is specified in the brief details.
- How quickly you respond. You must respond quick enough so you are within the
base payment cap. For example, if a brief has a base payment cap of 40 and
53 designers have submitted there designs, then any further submissions will not
receive a base payment.
You will be notified how much you will be paid for a specific submission after your
design has been assessed against our Minimum Design
Standards. After the submission deadline we will notify
|

It depends on the brief. For a Review and Improve Research brief,
DesignBay may
use your work, if selected, within surveys, research or articles (which may be shared
with the company) or published with third parties.
For regular briefs your designs will be shown to the client. If selected and
purchased, the ownership of your design is transfered to DesignBay and then to the
client.
Your designs can also be shown to other designers within the community to receive
ratings from them. You can specify whether or not you wish a submission to
be shown to other designers or stored privately. Designers will only be shown a thumbnail of your design
and will not be given access to the vector files or source files.

The purpose of a Review and Improve Research brief is:
- To give DesignBay access to designs (often logos) it can use in research; and
- To give people opportunities
to be creative (our mission)
DesignBay likes to do research. We want to understand what makes a great design,
a great logo and a great brand and we want to share this with designers and businesses.
We will use designs created in Review and Improve Research briefs within
surveys, articles and studies.
Review and Improve Research briefs are paid for by DesignBay. They
are not endorsed or pre-approved by the target company. The responses to the
briefs and results from the research may be shared with the target company.

Yes. You are able to submit more than one design for the same brief.
However you are only eligible for one base payment per brief. It is possible
for a designer to be allocated more than one place payment for a particular brief
if he/she has submitted more than one design. Submitting
more than one design, mathematically, will increase your chances of winning.
To submit a second design to a brief you need to visit the briefs page, select your
brief and then select the "Submit your logo" or "Submit your design" button again. |
|
No. A base payment is a minimum. It is a safety net payment to make
sure. If you receive a payment for a place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc) as listed
in the brief then you cannot receive a base payment for that brief in addition to
that payment. Place payments are always higher than the minimum payment. |
We will email you
to let you know if you will receive a base payment in the next few days after submitting your design.
Before you submit a design for a brief, we will display on the brief page how many other designers
have submitted already and whether or not this is under the minimum payment cap. After
you submit we will tell you what number your submission was and whether you are eligible
for a base payment. However, after this we
still need to check that your design meets our Minimum Design Standards. |
|
This is the maximum number of designers who will receive a base payment for a given
brief. If you submit a design after this you will not receive a base payment. However, you are still eligible to win the place payments. |
The payment currency is US dollars (USD). You will be able to convert this
to your local currency in PayPal. However, PayPal may charge you a fee for this.
You can also select to be paid in Australian dollars (AUD). We will convert
the USD amount to Australian dollars before transferring. This will save money
for Australian designers as it will prevent them incurring PayPal's
conversion fee of 2.5%. |
