scootstah Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I know this site is mostly for programming, but I think a forum for graphic design would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-H Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Seconded, I always thought of graphic design as something you can't learn, I would love to be proven wrong lol Also video tutorials would be nice. Not just for PHP, but graphic design, web design, java, c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a site for programmers IMO. Yeah but with web developers also comes web designers. It's just a natural thing. Seconded, I always thought of graphic design as something you can't learn, I would love to be proven wrong lol Well, you are wrong. ;P It is just a skill like any other. Some people are naturally ridiculously good at it, and I hate those people, but you can indeed learn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Your dead right there. This is a site for programmers IMO. What about people like me, who were assigned to be a hybrid designer/programmer? I don't see why we couldn't at least have a sub-forum in Client Side - Other. I honestly don't think a graphic design will be too popular for a while though.

Pikachu2000 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I learned it real good. I've been making graphics in MS paint for years now. Mostly stick men, and some stick women with those square, etch-a-sketch style boobs. Text is a little above my abilities still, so I outsource that part.

Pikachu2000 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Sure. This was a prototype for Kate Moss's ad campaign. It got shot down because it made her look too fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy-H Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well done, you just single-handedly put porn hub out of business (FTR, I accidentally typed dingle-handedly, irony lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickOldCar Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I wouldn't mind seeing a graphics related forum either. If nothing else we can post pretty pictures like Pikachu2000 did. But seriously, there are people that do programming plus the graphics, I feel would be a good addition. Some guidance in just the basics may help people, obviously can't teach them to become a pro, that takes time and patience using them. I'm pretty good at 3dmax, used many photo and graphics related applications (the good and bad), maya, blender, photoshop, corel, flash 8 pro, paintshop, animationshop, daz3d, xara, cinepaint....and countless others not worth trying to think of. Here's a 3d render of my basement a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Remember, we're a PHP forum first, generalized web development forum a distant second. Any graphic design subforum would have to fit into that. To me, that's what 'Website Critique' is for, since graphic design tends to mean layout when constrained to our focus. Non-web designs would really only fit in our 'Miscellaneous' section. IMO, that means a graphic design subforum is unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 ...totally misread what you were asking for. Thought you were talking more about a "Look what I did. Crits?" area than an actual help area. Yay 1:00 AM reading comprehension! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm just not sure there has ever been that big of a need for it. It's not like we see these types of posts in Misc very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
