few pointers.
i am a designer myelf, i dont consider myself a "professional designer", i just do it as a hobby.
if you and your mates are starting the team, and need pretty much a crew for deisgning, then what are your duties? other than speaking for the team or just being the "owner" and what not?
in my experience, designers look for teams who treat them as a family, not as another job. remember that this is a hobby and the sucess of a team resides on the treatment and equality of its members.
now, for another thing, if you're looking for Professional crew members then that's gonna cost you a bit more than the 30% every four months. most, if not all designers ask for at least 50% of EVERY model sold, the rate usually depends on how much work is done by each guy, the level of detail, the tools used and the time spent working on it, and its never set in stone. you also mentioned you "dont want anyone messing with your products" without the designers there would be no products to mess with.
im saying this through experience, i am a designer, as i said before, i do this as a hobby so i could care less if i do a lousy job or not. however i do have a constant contact with many recognized designers, exchanging ideas and often helping with advice or trouble shooting
