advice needed - building a team

[kosolapiy]

Hi all,
I need an advice from experienced iOS programmers, how to build own team.
Actually, I need two team members - publisher, and graphic designer. Also, help with level design would be appreciated. Is it good, to hire designer for some percents of income? And if good, what percent they use to ask?
What will be the best way of building a team?

What type of apps do you think you'll be making? Just games?

I will be doing something similar in the not to distant future and i think i have my plan made for my team:

Developer - Me
Math guy - a friend who did maths at uni
Graphics design/Animation - A little trickier but will again stay in my group of friends, i know a few who did this or similar at uni
Publisher - the whole team will pitch in on this

Basically i dont think that it is a HUGE concern unless you are starting a business of developing with these people. I personally am sticking with friends as i know i can trust them with ideas etc, i want to help my friends out and they are more than capable of fulfilling the required roles. And i dont mind sharing the profits with them :P

For a one off project you COULD just look for people in the forums here, that jobs section may be able to help with one or two of the things you need, and there you can negotiate a good price. If you are hiring out for work see if you can pay them a flat fee at the start of the project rather than royalties - it could be difficult to get that sort of business relationship but it will save/make you money in the end as all the incomings from the app will be yours not a share.

Yep, just a game Very funny, I'm making sketches now, but they are very schematic.

Well... I think I'm good enough for physics and math puzzles, also I have unfinished bachelor degree on programming, so, I believe I will be able to make a code (I use graphic and physic engines). But models and levels...
Also, the problem is, that I can't pay to anyone, before I got any profit from published app. So, I can only share some part of profit.
However, that's a good idea, to find some enthusiast here.
I have thought about my friends who are designers - they are not too much, but... Some times friendship ends, when business starts...
