hi guys, am martin. am new here. ave been browsing the competitions thread for two days now and frankly i was disappointed with what i saw. i registered in anger not because i tthink am beta, but because i learnt frm others work and so i think you may pick a thing or two from mine. some of the grafix have inspired me tho,

my concept is flagship arts

am a budding graphic artist in photoshop cs4 and illustrator
, too much talk, hope you'll be impressed. you guys should also bring your stuff for intimate discussions.

i dream of the day when we shall overaun this country with creativity and beauty.
i aim to revolutionise art design in this country and i study hard for it. hope your with me guys, we are one!

here is my book ad i made one afternoon after an exceptionally boring oracle lecture,
as much as possible, i try to keep my designs as realistic as they can get with my skill level

here is my present wallpaper. made it on a hot afternoon whhen i was feeling suicidal.

i must not fail to give God the thanks for inspiration, With him, they a were all possible

i was thinking of channel o and mtv base when i made this one nite three weeks ago



by the way, my personal email is martinekwe@yahoo.com

i do posters and photoretouching

my number is 08067522553 if you need to speak directly to me.

here is one i did wen i started learning photoshop one year ago

i love it so much.
i discover i cannot even reproduce some of my works cos they were done in the spur of the moment

those were the days, in the beginning

here is one for the road,

i hope we all learnt something, if you think you are a revolutionary artist, come, let us reason together

it takes hard work and diligence to be the best at what you do and thats wat am working to. the kemijy guy has the brain but not the finesse. i hope he works on it tho, we need people like him,

i hope to get fanorable replies ooo.

thank you Jesus!

i am taking an intensive study in illustrator on my own, i think that software is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

more coming your way soon(as soon as i can design them, that is)

i recently did these for a client, which do you think is better?

i also cant afford to 4get my comity of friends who have good eyes for great design and really appreciate them for their truthfulness

you guys are jjust viewing without posting nadda! . please help a bro in need and tell me wot you think 'bout my graphics

good work ,  I am not into graphic arts so no professional critic, but otherwise more grease to your elbow

thanks. i needed that. as you criticize and appreciate i wil be inspired to post more works.

You already praised and commended yourself right from the beginning. Why are you begging for comments and criticisms now?

Anyway, nice works man. Keep doing what you do regardless.

Cheers

Wen pple hear CLIPSE the 1st thing that wil most likely come to mind is the word ECLIPSE. Looking at yr 2nd CLIPSE logo it actualy looks like an eclipse phenomenon. So I'l go with that one. It sticks better to d memory and looks quite cool too though you may want to change the color of d txt to whateva yr client would prefer,

thanks a lot, sanctisam. funny enuf, my client preferred the last sample!

@flagship. A wise man once said," He who overrates his understanding undercuts his potential to learn new thing". Practice somemore.

word bro.

i was wondering if there is any one out there who's got some crazy letter head concept. i rather think the standard naija style very boring.
hoping to practice on that soon. by the way, hope you guys share my disgust of 'clip art' business cards . i see a lot of them around. i am not a millionth as good as i want to be but i hope 'original' people out there will see this post and get in touch so we can share ideas and make the nigerian corporate image a better one(graphically, anyway) .cheers

well i always advice ppl who want to be different when it comes to design  i must tell,  find your place in andvertising agency or a brand management agency and you will be glad with yourself you did.

question, what about animation movie e.g. spawn animation movies? I will be really interested if you are any good in creating anything or such magnitude or know anyone who is that good.

wil post some more xperiments soon.bin workin on logos and busines cards.as for the animation, am looking to learn it at the end me the year,amidst learning flash,after effects,and illustrator.catch ya!

the letter head concept u was talkin bout

@ Flagship
You are the best,i mean you are the bomb.I loved all your creations.I must say i am impressed.If this is really what you want to study in life,i must confess to you that you will make it on matter what.The sky will never be your limit.
Pls can you design my name for me please,i would be gratefull.It's "ROTANNA".
Looking forward to seeing it.

@ justbones.

you see, the art revolution i was talking 'bout couples simplicity with exquisiteness.a corporate feel that exudes solid,simple,undeniable style and irresistable attraction. quire frankly, i think the use of color is extreme, but before i actually review your work, you will have to show where the address and other details should be. the fact that you replied my post shows that we have been thinking along the sames lines of 'conceptual art'.for that i am thankful. i wish i had more tiome to sell the idea of my concept to you."you would make a mighty ally"-xerexes in 300 the movie.

now seriously, the letterhead should be simpler and more detailed. check out bestdesignoptions.com

@ justbones

my laptop is bad rite now. hopefullly by next week i will post my own concept and we can compare notes.plus ideas

I'm thinking of a few things. I'll facebook them to you. I think I have an idea cum the letterhead. Before I post anything, I'll want you to say it's okay for me to do so.
