Testimonials for Designers
The testimonials for designers give the possibility to A' Design Award laureates to comment positively on other award winning designers and their work, the testimonials system help winners write nice things about other designers and in return get nice testimonials for themselves. The platform is aimed at sharing positive ideas and creating good karma. Providing testimonials for other designers can benefit you significantly. As an A' Design Award laureate, you have a unique opportunity to leverage your award-winning status to gain more exposure, credibility, and success in your design career. One powerful way to do this is by participating in the Designer Testimonials initiative, where you can give and receive positive endorsements from fellow award-winning designers.

Why Testimonials Matter?
Designer testimonials help you share your positive thoughts on creative work and creatives you admire, like and get inspired from. You can share for example merits of a particular work, or highlight the pleasant aspects of the designers' personality and the creativity or ingenuity of their work. When you make a testimonial about a designer, this testimonial is sent to the designer by email, and we further ask the designers who you wrote testimonials for, to write a testimonial for you and your work in return. You can have more testimonials for your profile by writing more testimonials for others. By providing a testimonial, you will give moral boost to designers you like and in return get the same moral boost by having nice things written about you. Furthermore having testimonials can be helpful for your business or profile, you could use these testimonials for your new book, or as part of your reference letters or presentations, and having more testimonials also increases the likelihood of your profile being discovered by others. Having testimonials also help establish your authority on your topic. Testimonials could be considered as or compared to informal reference letters, they support you. Providing testimonials is a great way to support fellow designers and got support in return. Make a testimonial for the top 10 designers today (or those whom you met during Gala-Night and Award Ceremony, or those who you like), and enjoy the benefits of friendship and mutual support. Testimonials are mutual references.
