Please read the issue on the Sushi “Saki” Project
Please visit our activity page to view the issue with the Sushi “Saki” project that has affected our community terribly. We hope to clear these issues as we move forward. We’ve suspended all further design contests until further notice of a better payment system.

Flash Professional CS5
We believe this is going to be an exciting time to start learning ActionScript 3.0 if you want start building applications for the iPhone. Adobe is planning to release the new version of Flash by the end of this year.

“Flash Professional CS5 will enable you to build applications for iPhone and iPod touch using ActionScript 3. These applications can be delivered to iPhone and iPod touch users through the Apple App Store.”

Crowdsourcing: 5 Reasons It’s Not Just For Startups Any More
So, yesterday we had a mention on an article about Crowdsourcing on eBizQ. We thought it was great because we just launched with little activity and a little bit of press, why not? At this point crowdsourcing is in it’s beginning stages. Some in the industry believe it’s spec work, or some believe it’s a new way to reach a maximum effort.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“Design. Today crowdsourced design often means Web design and leading offerings like Crowdspring provide marketplaces to crowdsource Web designs cheaply and quickly. That doesn’t mean that’s all there is and some marketplaces, like Denook, offer design for other things as well, such as apparel. BootB, for example, will help you crowdsource marketing and creative work, and general purpose tools like Kluster can help you strategically farm specific design decisions across your own private or public community. More traditional services such as Elance also provide on-demand design work, but are less designed for creating multiple competing inputs.” - Dion Hinchcliffe

We hope you found it as interesting as we did. You can view future press articles, in our newly added press section on the site.
A happy Birthday
There are 3 birthday’s that we are celebrating today! The ones I’m about to list are influential people in my life, and without them I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Ferny - He is our director of marketing/sales, and big brother to me. He’s brought a tremendous amount of help in the vision of Denook.
Ryan Leslie - A talented artist,producer, & entrepreneur. He’s been my mentor while working at NextSelection, and has become like a big brother to me.
Denook - What’s a better way to celebrate the launch date of the site, with some influential people involved?
Please send your wishes to all of them, Happy Birthday!
Imrpovements
We are in the process of getting all the improvements completed before our official launch date tomorrow. We have just updated the “Start a Project” page, with an easier overview, how our site works for clients. The previous one, was a little difficult to grasp. So, we summed it all up into 3 simple steps.
Later today, we’ll be implementing our community activity feed. We will capture all types of cool activities like latest feedback, recent discussions, and recent added entries. In addition to that we’ll be adding status updates, and share design/photo.
We’re just getting started
Hello creatives! We are in a public beta until we officially launch on September 25th. Right now we are trying to gather as many to join to bring life to the community.
