Here's my process. I define in my mind what I want, in terms of style and needs, find similar sites, or sites with styles I'm after. I then find the designer of the site, and contact them. Here are my other strategies for finding designers: 1. Find agencies that I love the work of, then look at the Team page, then contact their designers on Twitter or email 2. Browse Dribbble, or design communities, find styles that I like, and contact them. Process: Discuss the project with them, find someone that likes it and has ideas. Have a call over Skype to get to know them, and see if their ideas match yours. Send them an email with the terms, get them to reply agreeing, and pay 50% upfront. Always works.
