First Claim
1. A system for providing designs comprising graphical and/or creative design elements by conducting a multi-round development process with a distributed community of designers, comprising:
- a communications module for electronically distributing a first specification comprising requirements for a design comprising graphical and/or creative design elements to a distributed community of designers and for receiving designs comprising graphical and/or creative design elements from each of a subset of the community of designers in response to the design requirements, and for electronically distributing a second specification comprising refinements of the first specification based on received designs;
a screening module for identifying received designs that meet the specifications;
an evaluation and ranking of module for facilitating evaluation of a subset of the received designs by a customer that requested the design;
a selection module for selecting preferred designs in response to the facilitated evaluation of the designs.

Abstract
This invention relates to a system and methods for developing designs. In one embodiment, a method includes electronically distributing a specification for a design to a distributed community of designers, receiving designs from each of a subset of the community of designers in response to the distributed design specification, screening received designs that do not meet the specification, facilitating evaluation of a subset of the received designs by a number of evaluators; and selecting a preferred design in response to the facilitated evaluation of the designs.
