Hello everyone. I remember when the graphics section was the first I would visit on Nairaland but these days the reverse is the case. Where are all our stars? Ignite this section.

It's so boring am telling, as in we should talk about the trend in design industry the pros and cons,
Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by sojioguns(m): 10:28am On Nov 24, 2008
Okay let me give it a shot.
Attached is a pic of a car. How best can you put in a human and blend with the bg. Feel free to express yourself. Inside or outside.

as in bring out creativity out from it just presenting it just like an AD?
Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by sojioguns(m): 11:11am On Nov 24, 2008
I meant for people to show their photo manipulation skills.
@smartsoft, You can put yourself in the car for a start.

@Topic
Probably because there are a lot of wannabees who just can't help flooding the graphics section with meaningless topics, especially those who resort to opening up a new topic for every lil piece of scrap they can put together (no offense to the guilty ones)! angry

Just attempt to use the prop the way it is. It doesn't have to be modified to make it easier for you to manipulate. It's either you can do something with this image, or you cant! undecided

this section became boring the moment we all los focus. The truth is when u take a look down the list of topics and see the most viewed, they are either threads of ongoing projects, threads that show WIP or threads that show exhibitions. These topics are basically what we all as graphics designers are known for but now its just all about posting crap, segregating ourselves, trying to beat the other guy and what not. We should learn how to start creative topics that should keep people coming back to read, learn and marvel. We should open more threads of galleries, facts, FAQs and recent technology trends on graphics and remain dedicated to keeping the thread alive, that way people are sure to keep hitting the threads

@kemjisuper
Those CRAP POSTERS(no offense to them grin) will never quit posting cos its fun to see ur stuff ONLINE even if its substandard. But also everyone's gotta start from somewhere right? Keep the fire burning guys cheesy wink grin cool
Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by smartsoft(m): 8:11am On Nov 25, 2008
@kemi what about if the pics i want to place in there is other way around what then happens ?or you want me to find other pix that will fit in and you will see how i will manupulate it, it doesn't worth the hassle either, or you go pay me millions make i do am now nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, why not try do yours and seeeeeeeeeeee, busy guy here, if you free do something, when am free i will like for a free image and do that

I meant it! I'm also a busy guy - maybe even busier than you can imagine. But I'll try out something on the image as it is. I'm not sure if I can put a human figure inside the driver's seat, but it's all worth a try to bring out the creativity in you.

Ps: You don't need to be paid millions just to develop your own artistic creativity. You're not that mediocre I believe cool

I get your drift my man. I miss the days of graphic battles, challenges, concept creations, logo designs, it's now just CRAP CRAP and more CRAP!!! undecided

Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by neo2(m): 11:47pm On Nov 27, 2008
hi all,
i think this particular section is boring because we dont have a lot of pro graphics guys. as in those that do it for a living so they can share there experiences and challenges. do get me wrong there are good graphics guys here. but most have just a little idea about it.its either you use it for your web designs or something else. if we had guys that did billboards,magazines and so on here i think it'll be more fun.

by the way nice work on the pic manipulations. mr.neptune, u 'never sieze to amaize me' men. haba.
Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by sojioguns(m): 7:54am On Nov 28, 2008
Mr. neo, I used to belong to that school of thought and I was proven wrong. There are a lot of talented guys here on Nairaland. Imagine shooting an entirely green screen TVC and have to deliver in 72hours. You then check this same section and found the right man for the job. Search harder bro. We are blessed here.
Re: Why Is This Section Boring? by neo2(m): 1:49pm On Nov 28, 2008
ofcourse we are blessed here lol!. but im sure u did'nt share what you did on that project here. or i did'nt see it. thats exactly what im saying. its people like you that should keep the forum alive. all a graphics guy can do is showcase his works. people like you that are in the field should be able to throw up challenges and so on. anyways we'll get there soon.
