BP3_CompVersions

CompVersions is a great tool for designers to use. It allows designers to send their work on a project to the client(s). Client(s) are able to view their work and provide any comments they desire. They can also provide a thumbs up or down on the project. In addition the designer may provide the client with stages to the project, starting from the beginning to the end. The price ranges from $9 (5 clients) - $49(unlimited amount of clients) per month with a 30-day free trial.

The first step is to add the clients email addresses you wish to obtain access to the project. Next step is to add a project name, and then the stage in which the project is at. After upload the image in which you wish to share. Once it is uploaded sharing can begin. An email is sent to the client granting access to the file. The client is then allowed to comment on the images within the project you originally uploaded.

I think this tool would be a great addition to the classroom of designers. The students can upload their work and send it to the class for review. It allows for those individuals who are afraid to speak up in class about another’s work. It will also allow for them to see what others are thinking, what they thought would make the piece better. It provides a comfort for all.

CompVersions can also be a stepping-stone for those who would like to begin their own company and desire to use a tool that can bring them to a professional level. It would provide the ability to demonstrate themselves as professionals. Below are a few screen shots of the tool.
