1. A design matching system comprising:
a server in communication with a computing device and comprising at least one processor; and
an application executable by the at least one processor to:
generate a first graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving designer information associated with a designer,
generate a second graphical user interface for receiving design purchaser information associated with a design purchaser,
validate the designer by checking designer credentials against a designer database or sign the designer up to have valid credentials in the designer database,
receive from the designer one or more clothing designs in a digital format available for matching and purchase,
perform a fraud check of any design received from the designer by comparing attributes of the design with a known design database, wherein comparing the attributes of the design includes more attributes than could be compared by a human in a commercially reasonable time,
validate the design purchaser by checking a design purchaser credentials against a design purchaser database or signing up the design purchaser to have valid credentials in the design purchaser database,
receive design search criteria from the design purchaser using the second graphical user interface,
in response to the design search criteria, match the design search criteria with attributes of designs entered by the designer to develop a match set of designs,
present the match set of designs to the design purchaser through the second graphical user interface including a set purchase price associated with each of the designs,
receive a design selection of a desired design entered by the design purchaser through the second graphical user interface,
receive payment from the design purchaser and deliver the desired design to the design purchaser,
deliver at least a partial payment to the designer for the desired design,
generate a third graphical user interface for receiving clothing manufacturer information associated with a clothing manufacturer,
receive a bid request from the design purchaser to receive a manufacturing bid for the desired design,
deliver the bid request to the clothing manufacturer,
store meta data concerning the desired design,
generate a fourth graphical user interface that is accessed in response to an identifying code read by a smart device, and
provide at least some of the stored meta data to the smart device in response to reading the identifying code.
