- Finding work I like on Dribbble and contacting the designers

- Finding designers through HN Search

- Elance

Unfortunately either the quality of the portfolios is the bog standard SaaS type stuff I can find on ThemeForest or the designers in question are always too busy / don't bother replying to my introductory email.

I have a well written brief (GDD ~ 50 pages), a decent budget and being a full stack developer, I'd like to think that I'm a fun and understanding guy to work with.

Has anyone got any recommendations of amazing UX people they can give me, or tips on where I might be going wrong?","time":1395767980,"title":"Ask HN: Where can I find good Game UI Designers","type":"story","url":""}],[5389150,{"by":"codesuela","descendants":4,"id":5389150,"kids":[5389335,5389199,5391856,5390023],"score":5,"text":"Hey HN,\nI am considering hiring a US based freelance designer and have some questions about that:

1) I am willing to pay a reasonable but not excessive amount so I think wont be able to find someone from LA or NYC due to the cost of living there, which alternative cities/states would you suggest?

2) Where would you suggest I start looking? Elance, Odesk, 99 designs and designcrowd seem to be populated by Indian people providing discount services. As I am not looking for cheap but reasonably priced and skilled labor which is why I am extending my search to the US.

3) What would be a reasonable rate for remote work for a US based designer outside of the Bay area and NYC?

Any answers would be much appreciated.","time":1363527885,"title":"Ask HN: German considering hiring a US designer (remote), got some questions","type":"story","url":""}],[3655782,{"by":"shotti","descendants":34,"id":3655782,"kids":[3657361,3655919,3657202,3655863,3657304,3657107,3656170,3656900,3656881,3656285,3655875,3655826,3656562,3655971,3655917],"score":7,"text":"Dear HNers,

We're creating an iPhone app \"hhhungry\", which is a one tap way to find friends to eat with for today's lunch and diner (hhhungry.com).

However, we are thinking to a new name for it and we deiced to ask you to help us rename our product.

WHY\nWe' been thinking a new name, since we pivoted and we've heard a lot of complains about our name \"hhhungry\" especially from \"girls\". \nHowever, we've been screwing up renaming it for weeks and weeks. And finally, a devastating fight for a new name among the team made us ask you to inspire us!

REWARD\nIf you give us an inspiring name and you live at San Francisco, New York, or Tokyo, we'll invite you a sushi dinner. \nYou don't live at those cities? We'll send you 3 t-shirts:)

VOTE\nhhhungry.com\nor \nThis Thread

DEADLINE\nMarch 4th (Sunday)

Thanks HN!","time":1330673960,"title":"HNers: Please give us a new name","type":"story","url":""}]]
