You are welcome,man. Bro,we alone are our own biggest problems. To get paid on Freelancer or Fiverr it's paypal,payza or payoneer(I highly recommend). I know people who use their Behance & Deviant Art to bring traffic to their profiles there or even their blogs. Make up your mind on the name quickly because these tips am sharing have been implemented by some Naija artists am close to. So don't dull yourself this is 2016,excuses aren't allowed*lol*hehehe*winks winks*

I have no trouble illustrating cos doodling has been a thing since childhood. I'm not a top notch gfx designer yet, but from the little training in CDR + PSD addiction, I can do decent flyers & logo designs.

I haven't created a portfolio for behance yet. I'll need a new deviant art acc cos I've forgotten the email & password. My main issue is coming up with a designer/artist name that fits. That's why I'm yet to create these profiles.

I'm familiar with freelancer, dunno how the payment works cos if I can sketch it, finish it in relevant software, then I'm good. Honestly, I'll be so much more comfortable freelancing. Thanks for the links!

@KAZNA69: Bro,you have raised a good question & I'll answer it like this. Try researching the history of comics especially in America & here in Nigeria find local solution. Be more of an Illustrator into graphics as well other than comics so that aside that you make a living. Anyone can be a graphic design artist but not all can illustrate the ideas. You have social media where you can advertise/monetize your art,Behance (www.behance.net), Deviant Art(www.deviantart.com), Freelancer(www.freelancer.com) & Fiverr (www.fiverr.com) to make money from your drawings. Being creative & a smart entrepreneur will be a good bonus. As we get older we may not have the strength & zeal like before so it's advisable to build a team of artists you've shared your skills with. If you can teach other people at a fee to make extra income.
In Lagos,since 2012,there has been the annual Lagos ComicCon (www.lagoscomicon.com) where you to meet other creative people across industries founded by Ayo "Dreammaker" Elegba who is a veteran comic creator/writer. He created StrikeGuard now published by Vortex Comics (www.vortex247.com) & has served as an editor on the hot nigerian comic E.X.O : The Legend of Wale Williams (www.youneekstudios.com). A comic that sold out on Amazon. Download Chapter 1 for #FREE @this link http://www.youneekstudios.com/preview/exo-preview.pdf. He's still into comics but has diversified into 2D Animation & graphics as well. Most of all,work on your art continually & have mentors. best regards...

Kazna69:
Dude please where do I begin if I have drawing skills? As humble as making comics is, I just don't see it as a long term thing. How would I market my drawings if any? What other industries can I offer my services to?

@NAMZO: Na your old thread be this?!!I still remember when you drew this character in FUTA. Amazing it's when I saw ernest@ngbot.com that I knew it was you. You'z still the guy who taught me Photoshop & get hooked on Adobe apps. @Artboy helped improve your art while you did the same for me. Until we realise in Nigeria & Africa in general that by sharing our skills our creative industries will improve greatly. Till then there will always be a gap...

namzo:
@vick: my email ad. is ernest[AT]ngbot.com.

Regardless of the website,search for what you need in this case Photoshop CC 2015,you get options look for the one that has a reading for leechers & seeders that also shows it's green(healthy)not with a virus.
If it's less than 1GB use www.zbigz.com an online torrent client faster than utorrent which is suitable for downloads bigger than 1GB.
All the best.

generalpi:
how can i get the torrent...please help me

There are lots of places online so use Google. Find their likepages on facebook,follow them on twitter,linkedin,instagram & then find their official youtube/vimeo channels to watch their videos.(that's what I do & still do)

stephen2016:
Is there a place where I can download some e-books about the above mentioned softwares

@BIAZZARE: Your observations aren't far from the truth but on point. I just finished serving a 2year ban with the NIA because of NUC problems with my MTech program. My set & the next ended up defending during NYSC only to collect the certificates after service was completed. To the NIA it falls into the category of bye-laws being classified as "concurrence". Where your school program is clashing in dates with one's service period like one did both but they know what happened but doesn't matter. In short, about to reapply to get the associate membership status then write PPE maybe 2years max from now. It's frustrating & I almost gave up if not for encouragement from my good friend who went to school with me through everything to continue with it as I've started.
NIA isn't doing as much as they should to the student level. I advise you make sure you always add a creative skill that complements architecture that's the main reason why even when there aren't archy jobs I'll survive somewhat. I feel you @the part of working for some unappreciative employers from architects to business execs. Just keep moving & believe in yourself always sharpening your skills not to lose your spark*winks winks*It ain't easy like I know but that's the price for #success.

biazarre:
costosvilla n derrickm luv u guys... n I really luv dis thread kip it up.... pls I will like to bring to da house something dat has been disturbing my mind,....... n da thing is, wat is NIA doing to help young n up coming architects? wat ar d provisions dey ave for us, because I got to realise from my experience dat registered architect ar sadist!!..... I can buttress my statement with these 2 reasons...(1)they hate to employ, they prefer part-time or contract stuffs..... (2)they will Neva appreciate anything u do for them, n they used dat to kill ur moral... I must confess, times without number I look at myself n hate all da yrs I spent in school, sometimes I believe I'm just a waste!!.. until I later find someone (who is not even an architect ) who now values my worth. dat was when I started appreciating my products n stop feeling inferior like a second class citizen, I want to believe dat NIA IS NOTHING BUT A TOOTHLESS DOG... imagine a local draftman who spent a yr in his/her ogas shop having a seal afta graduation n many of us afta spending so many yrs in school wit da ARCHITORTURE slogan n experience , u guys (NIA) still want us to pay dat substantial amount of money for our PPE n if u can't afford it u take ur work to a registered archy, n if u can't do dat u take it to dat local guy in ur area to stamp it wit dat blue or orange stamp!! for 1k, I think something should b done to make life easy n juicy for young architect too, things should be done to all dis local draftmen,.... da truth is they get all bungalows... n big architects get da sky scrapers, young archy stays at d middle suffering!!!

You're welcome,bro,cheers...

stephen2016:
Thanks very much for taking out the time to give me this piece of information

There is no free version only free 30-day trial after that you buy visit http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html
OR get a fully activated one via torrent the choice is yours...

generalpi:
Please how can i get a free version of Adobe Photoshop cc2015

@STEPHEN2016: I will advise you know AutoCAD to draw technical details & Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign for graphic presentation to visually communicate. Now to bring your ideas to life in 3d it's for you to choose from 3dsmax,Maya,Cinema4D,Blender which are the most popular. So access them for yourself by trying them out as trials. Get on youtube & watch their reviews as well,cheers...

stephen2016:
Wow! This thread is amazing. I observe all protocols here with great sincerity. Firstly I am Stephen I graduated from the department of mechanical engineering in FUTO . I so much love designing but I want venture into product design . like design beds,plastic chairs and other little toys etc. Can anyone give me an idea of the softwares to study. And also if possible recommend and study center. I don't like watching online tutorials its doesn't build my confidence . I am presently in Port Harcourt . and please check out my system details below if I am good to go, or give me some system recommendations

There's lots of room for improvement. All I advise is for you to get all those tutorials in your archives. If you want to be the best you need to learn from the grand masters for real. best regards

*Below are old pencil works of mine & hope to make out more time to finish up more stuff both traditional & digital.

chinuz:
Sorry for the misconception @DerrickM ..Guess I wanted to say I'd choose a pen over a pencil not that I dislike it..wrong choice of words..and thanks I guess I'd have to get up from laziness a bit

@CHINUZ: Thanks for the intro about yourself. As for me am just a creative person that read #architecture luckily against a lot of odds not to. All blame is on you & really no one else's am afraid in not getting better*lol*hehehe*Make time & do it. You can't dislike pencils in this game of art & only love pens/inks. You need to be versatile & able to move freely from traditional to digital & back again. We don't judge here,it's more of encouragement & pushing you to get better at your unique style of art. No one is perfect @drawing so note that. Here are some links you should try & get online asap...get researching y'all. I did my homework now your turns*winks winks*It's animation not what you spelt,bro

Polarbite:
Mr.DerrickM sowi mr.DamiM.LOL

@InZA: Thanks for the compliment I just do my best to share as I can.I actually wouldn't design any of those documents in Photoshop because that's what InDesign is better suited for. You can use either of the methods you mentioned in InDesign of its dynamic flexibility,best regards...

DerrickM

Hey man, I couldn't go through the previous pages on this thread to see if the question I want to ask has been answered already, so hope you can cut me some slack and answer again if it's been asked before.... Besides this is 2016 isn't it

By the way, I'm really tripped by the way and manner you've answered all the questions on the pages I went through. Big ups man.

Question

If you're designing the cover (front and back) of a brochure /magazine /manual in photoshop, do you design the front and back individually on two different unique canvas/tabs or you make one canvas size large enough so you can divide "single image cover" into front and back. I don't know if I've expressed myself well enough but I can send a screen shot if you need me to.

Thanks a bunch.

Ofcourse you're welcome,pull a cyber chair & sit down*winks winks*

I have joined your channel. Ladies & gents following this thread I implore you do the same to support. Me makes me wonder if I shouldn't open a channel for myself*winks winks*

cupid0:
it's a platform I use to showcase my works and accept criticisms from fellow colleagues. The works are architectural works and interiors.

Hi & hapi Sun 2u. What's the channel about?!!

cupid0:
Happy Sunday my fellow architects. Please subscribe to my channel on bbm 'bluebrook' on C002254AD.

Yes,I do prefer a maisonette & don't plan to build a duplex personally. If as a family man or woman,one can't build the duplex while the kids are still between the ages of a few months old to say 17years. Anything after then will be a burden to maintain the house domestically if no one is around to occupy the space. Eventually the children will move out & will most likely remain only the parents. That's my own thinking though*winks winks*

CASTOSVILLA:
Most people will prefer this to a duplex.

Though you feel CMYK is limited it's still the preferred format for printing over RGB. It is what is.
To achieve 100% black,the colour code is (0000) depends on the Photoshop version while for 100% white it's (FFFF).
