I am Starting Graphic Arts this semester at college, and I enjoy it a hell of a lot, but I figure good practice would be to make some signature pics for less photoshop inclined org'ers I am the Maker of Several Signatures on this Forum...

Peace

 

I LOVE MINE!!!!
going to have to change it in about a week tho with new rims...hehe.

 

Yeah your sig pics look pretty hot!

 

u like mine?

I'm a multimedia guy.. some graphic arts, but mostly motion and video and web junk.. you know, the interactive stuff.

 

its sooooooooooooooooo damn big dude.

 

oh... hmm... my desktop is 1152x864 so maybe that's why .. i'll shorten it down to 550 pixel width

 

what kind of money can u make in this field? it sounds very interesting and creative but never knew what kind of income came out of it....

also, thanks kyle for the sig *hopes it shows*

 

in all honesty, it depends on what road you take. There are MANY roads... print (business cards, flyers, letterheads, brochures).. print advertising (posters, banners, theme movie posters)... video advertising (commercials, promos)... film and film editing.. film art departments... web programmer.. web designer... flash developer.. actionscript programmer.. lingo developer.. it goes on and on.

That's why the fine pioneers, bigwigs, and PhD folk in the field chose to label it Multimedia.. or New Media (this argument can go on forever in theory classrooms).

I personally want to get my degree, teach a graphics class at a high school for like 2-3 years (work on portfolio and other artwork/research in the summer vacation months).. then hit grad school when i'm 25, get out and maybe pick up an Assistant Professor job at a University and still be able to work for grants on my off-time.

I'm taking the Art route instead of the Commercial artist route. My route requires a lot of school, but I have connections in the Art world so it's easier. I won't make much (no more than $40-$50k/year all added up with job and projects), but it's the legacy and stature in the art world that I'm striving for.

If I give up and take the commercial artist route, then i'll just freelance or do entry-level stuff for 2 years.. build the portfolio, and then work at an advertising agency which pay anywhere between $15-25/hr entry-level/freelance, $25-45 mid-range/intermediate, $45-75 Creative director or equivalent... all is depending on your experience/portfolio/resume.

An awesome portfolio and resume can dwarf anyone else's many degrees in this field... ultimately, it's about who you know and who knows you.

Needless to say, it is very UNboring and you meet the coolest people (and the wildest girls )

 

Can ya make me one?! im definately photoshop illilterate, i cant figure out how to use it...


Eric

I'm a simple guy... the dark photo "suspense" shot that you are currently using is very much to my liking.. awesome shot... did you darken it up in PS, or do you want to be cocky and say you got mad photography skillz?

 

[Russian Voice]I make better![/Russian Voice]

Coming sooon..... photochops...

 

yeah, I made mine in PS, if only I could hold the camera still :P

 

Madd Photography Skillz
Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Yo, ERTY I will hit you up with another shortly, been mad busy...I work 2 jobs, and sleep lots, lol, I have been trying to get a new program but downloads with 56k suck...i want 3dStudioMax

Anyone who wants a sig, check out my other work, lemme know what kinda sig you want, and let me know where i can get source pictures in a PM
Peace

 

no rush

 

OOOhhh... I've been wanting a nice looking sig pic ever since I came on this beeatch! I just don't have nowhere NEAR enough source pics on my website. Maybe if I get a free minute, I'll drop some of the 1.4GB of pics I've got stored on disks to my site...

 

Max002 and MaximaRider's sigs are good the rest are just a bunch of PS effects, with no real theme or style/

 

 

they should let us use flash. I mean some flash movies are smaller than some jpgs and gifs people are using.

 

Well, if Kevin has made it clear that sig pics don't drain the server (since they're sourced from other places) then size isn't a problem.

I think it's more to do with compatibility perhaps ???

 

they all suck

 

yours is the best

 

 

thanks for the credit.. jerk off...

people get pretty damn photoshop crazy, with cropping and filters. ive been in the graphic design field for about 6 years now, had 2 prosperous jobs as a design and I do a lot of freelance work with a good friend. the key is be unique but to keep it clean and simple.

my sig changes quite often, because i mess around with my digital camera a lot.

 

Not your pic foo

 

I would be thrilled if you could do one for me. I will go out and take some pics today and host them on ofoto, I'll send you a link you can do whatever you choose. Please PM me with your e-mail acct. oh yeah no rush, I'm just excited to have a sig. pic.

 

NO thanks, I like mine

 

we got some hatin, and some lovin, ....whatever, i never said i was like, BEST SIG MAKER EVER! I just said I wouldn't mind making ppl some siogs, could always use some practice!

 

AGREED!

 

Well thanks to BlueC, he did mine...what do you guys think?!


Eric

 

If you really want the practice you can make me something...I suck at photoshop. I've been too lazy to even make my sig smaller. You may not have as much fun since I'm so stock looking right now, but have at all the pics on my homepage if you like.

 

 

Haha, I had more ideas to make it better, for some damn reason theres always something I forget to do when im making sigs.... I'll send you a link in AIM.

 

DAMN why is everyone being B!tches?!?!?!

HE IS OFFERING TO HELP!!!

what the hell is wrong with you people...keep your comments to yourself.

 

they're just f@ggot haters man, homo sexuals with licenses to hate. He's not asking for opinions on whether u like them although he wouldnt mind positive criticism, but this thread was made to show everyone that there's a guy out there willing to make sigs for those people in need. Just like an item for sale, if u r not buying, keep your mouth shut
