Some of My Work

I'd like to see you start complaining every time someone mentions VB as well, if signatures being inferior to full-scale graphics is a legit reason for them not to be posted.

They are neither synonymous or analogous.

Big pictures > Signatures
Java > VB
{Big Pictures, Java} > {Signatures, VB}

Get it now?

He's posting a goddamn picture..

I don't really agree with Quik.  I was explaining his point.

Are you mentally retarded?

[Joe]

Are you?

[Sidoh]

Are you?

No, but obviously you think I am, which is strange (and concurrently humerous), given the circumstances.

GFX is GFX.

No matter what the graphic is, it should be posted to show the world. Becuase

college-level and graduated digital art students

disagree that sigantures arent graphics or a lesser form of graphic design dosent mean you cant post it. I mean do you want us to make a fucking Abstarct background and post it? To some other people that is easy. So It dosent really matter.

Lmao, this is funny to listen to. Art is art, but you guys need to know. Quik is telling you how it is. If you go to a real design forum, signatures aren't praised like you guys think.

Good thing that this is just a Graphics board and not a "design forum". :)

If it was a design forum then I could understand where you guys are coming from, but it's not.

I still think the quasi-elitism of those art forums is justified and we should carry it over to this board. Just because one is an entire devoted forum and ours is mearly a board, we should still have same high-class opinions of what art is.

Kaka..

I think signatures are still pretty good, even if you guys don't consider them full fledge art.  The board says "Graphics" which can be interpreted in a variety of ways, and each way is justified by the person holding that view and thus should be taken into consideration whether or not your view collides with theirs or not.

Signatures require no real effort. Many of you post tutorial bases works and slab your name on it and think it's great. If you guys want real criticism, spend more than 10 minutes working in Photoshop. Go read up on design concepts and learn the basics, then maybe what you make will deserve a good opinion.

Nice bump nub.

For some people it takes them a longer time to create a signature because they are not yet skilled with photshop.  Sure, signatures are a lesser form of graphic compared to crazy designs, but it's still a graphic none-the-less and shouldn't be treated any differently.  Too me, on these forums, that's retarded.

The arguements against your opinion are that they are much lesser forms because they are able to be created with minimal to no knowledge of the graphics medium such as Photoshop. It takes no talent, even Pavlov's dog could follow the directions of some of the tutorials out there, because they all start off the same.

Haha.  I don't think Pavlov's dog could do much more then slober on himself let alone follow a tutorial.

I agree that signatures are much easier to make compared to most other graphics and that they don't take much talent, but I still think they should  be allowed to be posted into a *Graphics* section of a forum without someone freaking out about it while that person is proud of their work and are showing it off.  And I don't see anything wrong with that regardless of how simple it is to some people.  Keep into consideration that signatures are starting points for people in photoshop.  It would be like your parents, who were way more experienced than you in Kindergarten, laughing at you because you were proud at the fact that you could finally say your ABC's and you were showing it off to everyone else.  That's just down right mean.
