uhm well, actually I started with 3d games, the signatures was a "bonus" xd
Otherwise, what he said is true. But I change the way of thinking of a person is very hard...
And yes, I left that thing.. "hey you suck! read some tutorials"... so, when i joined this forum, what he said becomes true...
I only start doing sigs because i liked how they looked in the end.
And yeah, i see the same criticizm all the time like Jhewt said about looking at tuts and whatnot.
I started gfx bcuz i was inspired by FMK.
I this article is soo true.
Very true. But being a designer is to design for yourself. A world of imagination is created beyond the normal eye. To see what is given and take it and create a masterpiece. That's how designers work.
Can I get an AMEN!
I started off just drawing when I was maybe 3. Then again I don't just render in photoshop. ._.
I think professionals don't hate you because you "can do what they do", but because most kids THINK they can. I mean, when it comes to signatures, you take SOMEONE ELSES art and render/filter it. It takes a bit of skill, but not talent.
Then again, I've never really met an artist or graphic designer that cared (or was aware of) about "signature makers". It's a really small easy thing. I mean, you can't legally make money off of the sigs I see around here (really, you can't since the original images are copyrighted), but pros that can make things from literally nothing can. I mean, I've sold my art before even.
It's fun to do, but it's not something to make that much of a deal over. :B
i just need to kill time...
and i like how they look
alright i do admin i have been a lil ''harsh'' on the ''new guy'' kind of thing,
this article is like 100% true, and from reading that i was actuly shocked.
i started doing sigs becouse one day i would like to do alot of websites
and game design(wich i now have just scraped the bottom of it)
but, i also started becouse i wanted to kind of ''dominate'' other people
in graphics, but after reading this aticle it changed my mind. maybe
i should start helping people. thats what i will do :)
il pass this on to every graphic artists and ever graphic site i know.
thanks alot.
lul, that's how it should be. Thats really the only reason I do sigs or web designs.Quote:
