don't know if i'm the only person who has noticed this but this graphics section has lost all its glory. These days, anybody hardly posts... and even when someone decides to post, people just look and get moving, not even comment to encourage or otherwise. The basic instrument of growth for any good graphics designer is 'FEEDBACK'. How are we supposed to develop when we can't even encourage, criticise, scold or even associate with ourselves We got a rare gift of creativity, why not help each other hone our gifts and skills?? I'll love to have that very interactive and active graphics section on Nairaland, that section i can flow with my kind and be sure i got people who i can always depend on for valuable feedback.
IF YOU READ THIS AND JUST MOVE ON WITHOUT DROPPING A COMMENT, THAT MEANS YOU ARE A LOST CAUSE AND ISN'T CAPABLE OF POSITIVE CHANGE EVEN WHEN INSTIGATED TOWARDS IT.
I'm sorry for the rude words(if any), but graphics design is what we claim makes us who we are... why not strive to sustain it

Hmmm

yeah, its pretty sad how dead this section is. i think if the creativity level is upped a little, there might be more participation. Then again, the number of true creatives on this forum is low, so its tough.

Yeah you re right... Absence of mod(s) and user contributions!

Where dem Ugo, Aseye, Gamine n co sef?? I think I need to put a 'wanted' list out for them.

Yea, true talk bro, remember when I started learning from this thread some years ago. I think the issue is that these guys are busy with personal projects on their neck, the best we can do is just to keep trying to develop new, fresh and informative topics for the benefit of the (graphics section) generality. Knowledge is key

hmm... did someone call my name? oh shit they want to put me on wanted list? hahaha, ok first of all me I don try ooo na una wey ignore all my efforts, some even add sand for the small garri wey I get I accepted a mod for the passion of helping others, damn I even started a tutorial series on yuotube and free skype sessions. and not even a comment or something nor even a question. so me I jeje go put on collar and went looking for job o, thank God I got a decent paying job that has broadened my horizon into media web design and other stuff. so now I just dey pass here and chook eye if anyone needs help then waka pass. now ask me what will you do in my shoes and do you believe you can do a better job as a mod. if you can then let me nominate you to Seun personally, I no go waste time at all

If seun wan recruit new mods, there are some who can do the job well AK,erad etc. I can also assist

I'll ask the supermod to recruit a new moderator. Thanks for sharing your feelings about this section. We'll try and revive it.

ok guys, let me drop a quick tip, it doesn't take a mod to make a forum great, it takes those who visit it. I didn't understand it when the last mod before me was telling me about it. oh well its still De Ja Vu.

No single man can do it alone and thats what a mod is, a single man or woman lol!

Edit: Also the user politics that goes about this mod post is outstanding. like they say the grass is always greener on the other side.

Boss Ugo, we aint blaming u boss. I just believe we need ways to encourage ourselves for our own sake. instead of uploading images directly on some sites(like twitter, linked in, facebook, etc), why not upload them here and share the link on the other sites?? little things like this will go a long way in opening this section to outsiders, we will generate more traffic for Nairaland and Seun will pay more attention to this section and its development. We might even be able to convince him into organizing contests for nairaland graphic designers. I'll organise a few, but nah only recharge card i go fit afford as price. I won't just write this section off, there are still a million ways to revive it and they involve each and every one of US.

Erad baba, you may not blame me o, but others may not share the same idea. honestly when I find it hard to visit is when this new theme took over for nairaland, its hard on my eyes. I think you have a point there anyway. will try to clean up the thread soon.

as with everything nigerian, graphic design has been taken over by the underworld.


now mostly consists of photoshopping fake pictures, ridicule, etc.

ok guys, I agree we should stand up for the graphics community. since we are all gurus let start displaying out art skills lol

@Ugo... yes BOSS! don't know if there's a way mods can know those who view topics. Try to make commenting a requirement to view a topic. If you won't comment, then don't bother opening or face specific consequences.

unfortunately that is not possible for mods, there isnt much difference between mod and normal user

hi guys, there are some of us that will still check in here no matter what, as long as its still a section on nairaland and as long as nairaland neva shutdown. my own suggestion about this thread is that it should be spiced up..for design sake, this place no be literature section now, whenever one comes here, na so so post of words..we said we are designers and all most do is post comments (which is not entirely bad) but i think we should post more of designs (isn't that our job?) let the jobs speak, enuf of you talking...its really boring in here thats why most early guys dont find it interesting to return here (they are not lost, cos they are actively involved on other forums, you can google them..lol) let me just leave it here..cos me self don dey type plenty words..i hope someone gets the message...pls do post in more jobs, old or new but make sure they are worth it...if you are a novice, you are free to post (we are all still learning)..that's ma own little observation sirs..
