Graphic Design Brief

We need a simple graphic / banner for a blog post that's going to be posted on a large publication (like TechCrunch, Harvard Business Review).

The article will be written by Alec Lynch (DesignCrowd's CEO) and the title will be "Why Websites Will Become the Biggest Employers in the World". The article is about why online employers (like DesignCrowd and Crowdflower) will one day have more 'workers' than offline employers.

We'd really like to get this ASAP - so early submissions encouraged. We will try and get the winning designer linked to from the article.

Note that this brief is similar to a previous project that we ran http://jobs.designcrowd.com/job.aspx?id=69689 where the article and design was published on TechCrunch http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/08/asias-secret-crowdsourcing-boom/ and the designer (Sherlynn) was linked to from TechCrunch.
