Anyone have any experience with elance.com? Specifically for graphic design. From freelancer/provider or job poster perspective?

Tell you sincerely, many graphic design projects and highly competitive. I suggest you to try the crowdsourcing market for designers, likewww.crowdspring.comwww.99designs. ComAt least you know why you fail in the crowdsourcing contest.

Just try and see.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
