The best 'aspiring graphic designers' spend more time making silent observations and advancing themselves on a personal level, rather than making suggestions on how other people should progress.
As of now, you simply seem to be yet another dime-a-dozen 'aspiring graphic artist' that lurks around here with absolutely nothing to show for their talk. These sorts of people piss me off, as it seems like they're only in the business because they caught word that graphic design is an easy ticket and there's hand fulls of big companies who pay top dollar for sub-par work that's easy to hammer out.
Feel free to come back and hand me advice once you've spent nearly 10 years fine-tuning your abilities and trying your hardest to make a name for yourself. However, since it's most likely a guarantee you'll give it up and join the military, I'll take your remarks as personally demeaning and tell you to go fuck yourself now.
Go fuck yourself.
You describe me as exactly the people I can't stand.
Just because I have never submited anything to the puplic does not mean I sit here on Newgrounds, jerking off and disrespecting others work, I have learned alot from Newgrounds, I have been an aspiring artist all my life, I have always wanted to be one, I ofund my niche in graphic design, then I found NEwgrounds and a whole new world opened for me, Se my parents always told me that art never got you anywhere but Newgrounds proved otherwise, they told me that I could be an artist, and I could make a living, Being an artist for a living would allow my art to become greater. I have worked hard as hell to prove myself to the people around me, I worked my ass of to become Yearbook designer for my school.You are aparently not as respectable as I first thaught you.
Another thing, the graphic designers I am around take inspiration and suggestion from any source, because they know that no matter how good they are there is always room for improvement. And in no way in my previous post did I aim to offend or say that I was better than anyone, I am learning, I am not a graphic designer yet, but I would like to be one, not for the money but because it is what I love to do, I wouldn't care if i made minimum wage as long as I could do graphic design for a living. You are in no position to judge me just because you are leading a good life and happen to be lucky enough to make a good sum of money. You need to grow up and not be so full of yourself.
You take my suggestions to be insults, but they are not, I am in no way that the NG crew can't do their jobs, or that they don't know what they are doing, but the opposite.
I am saying that I respect you as artists and that I do like your work, and to tell a person to go fuck themselves because they offer there imput on what would be nice to see, or what they would like in improvements is just and rude thing to do.
I am done ranting about you. I am going back to my research on Newgrounds,
now does anyone else have any suggestions they would like to get out there?
Don't let mister grumpy scare you.
there is nothing wrong with posting suggestions of what you think could make this community/website better. please I would like to read what you all have to say about the current layout, past layouts and suggestions for future layouts. =)
