Sheesh!!...everyone is providing "negative" feedback...i agree with the positive words mentioned!!
I think he has his own grimey style of b-boy design. this is stuff you'd find in a hip hop magazine right? no need to be that polished but i would suggest you find different "moods"...like take a landscape pic, trace it out, scan it in, work with some gradients and colors first...NO TEXT..try that and upload ....send it to me and i'll watch !!
im a graphic designer as well, and yes practice does make perfect. I agree you most definetly need hi resolution images so your work can come out crisp. You need to also learn about color balance as well. But I think you will do great , just need to work harder to get where you want to be, I really wouldnt charge just yet until you can honestly say that your work is tip top. Go to your graphic design teachers, friends, to help you as well.
instead of hatin try giving some knowledgeable input. Everyone has to f*ckin start somewhere..give this man a break. Don't like it? Don't LOOK pimpin! simple asshole
not all of it's bad, keep doing it dude, the more you dive into this field the easier it gets. look around you when you riden, design is everywere. if you design because you enjoy it, there can be alot of money to be made. yeah, and all you need is the drive to make it, you dont have to go too school, many designers are self taught.
Damn your work is trash..... need more practice, more typography, more training in photoshop cs5, my son is 10 and can do better then that man. Take this advice, GO BACK TO SCHOOL, YOU CAN DO IT! but no like that. Try Savannah College of Art and Design, University of Louisville, Art Academy of Cincinnati, University of Saint Louis, or San Fan. Plus you mess Lil Wanye face up..... what software are you using, you make graphic design look bad..... what where you thinking?
Some tips from me. Go to a art school and learn from there. You really will have to focus on everything there. Don't take it as a joke. I'm not trying to rip you one, but just take it as advice. I see what you're trying to put out but you need a lot of work.
And never set prices until you are in the career fully. It will hurt you in the end.
with my work so you can see what i mean. another thing is unity. most of these images are just two or three other images pasted together. watch some more tutorials but you need to develop your own style.
there is very little "design" in any of the images. try to create a composition before you start pulling pictures together. a lot of the images look like they are simply pasted on, so i would suggest working on your layer masks. layer masks are a very effective way to blend images together. from there you can work on color, a lot of the images you made have a very distracting color range to them. also, graphic design is not about putting one filter on an image. i'm gonna post a vid shortly
I'm sorry but....its not really that good at all....maybe you should re-think about your career choice dude...graphic design is a very tough and competive field...I just want to save you from wasting more of your time...thats all....
if you are planning to become a graphic designer you should rethink your choice because people like that with no or little talent make it hard for the passionate graphic artists to getjobs.
@backbite1 I disagree. I think that if anybody wants to be an employable graphic designer, all they need is practice and some feedback. To the person who've made this video, I see that graphic design interests you. Well, take some courses and do lots of practice.
im srry to be so mean but i get really pissed off when lil runts who just learned how to use the lasso tool in photoshop runnin round thinkin they are graphic designers...graphic design takes time, patience skill, and determination. all of the pieces i saw must of took under 3 hours... or less...some even about 20 mins or so...
A word of advice if your putting together a portfolio try to vary the styles that you choose to present. Everything I've seen in that video looks..ok if I were a client looking into making a rap cd or a line of urban shoes. Infact stay far away from the hiphop urban gangster stuff if you ever make another portfolio, the same thing that's killing the hiphop industry will kill your portfolio. Generic, overplayed, non artistic, non original , easy to forget only aimed at certain groups.
Yea Very Pro!? Well not really Using windows movie maker is not being pro, but thats how i started!. You see all these Bitches that are talking shit about your work should shut the fuck up....Even if its true that your work is crap (NO OFENSE) But its okay cuz i imagine that this is one of your first proyects. Well keep it au and well see if on year or two this bitches keep talking shit about your work! Trust me i know so.
yO... fuCk jealOusy... i dOn't see any linkS to any of those shit talkerS pOrtfOlioS.. SO what yOu dOn't have muCh COmputer SOftware experienCe... yOu're Seeing paSt a photograph... and adding whatever... I Say.. "if yOu Can lOok paSt a piCture to add or remOve, yOu're thinking it can be wOrSe in a better way".. gOod wOrk with yOur yOutube vid.. a pOrtfOliO iS a pOrtfOlio...
don't limit yourself to only digital media, experiment a lot with textures, typography, photography, anything! As Aiizaku said, learn the rules as a basic guideline but learn to break them as well. Try and learn about typography as well, since type can make all the difference. Also, take into consideration positive and negative space, Color theory, basic composition, etc.
Less is more!
you don't need to overwhelm your designs with useless or flashy things in order for them to have impact.
Screw the "pros" and what they say, right now they are trying to master making stuff "LOOK" amature. Yes you need work, but like everyone else digital is still an experimental age. No one has set the rules. Be picky, make it clear what your intentions are. If you wnat that urban look take a look at the hood and the people that represent it and if you can take some tips from YESiLikeme and learn about the basic fundamentals of design, so then you can BREAK them, intentionally.
dude, straight up, you are garbage. this is amateur shit to the fullest. You actually have prices set? ha! for what? So you're a talented designer huh?

.....u knw wut ur doin in programs like photoshop....but ur mssg needs 2 come across clearer, like tie into each other, such as lighting and texture....esp in the pic wit the gurl on the money....and the quality of the cam makes all the difference, a hot design wit a pic thaat looks like it was taken with a .25 mega pixel cam is garbage because the quality...but im still learning too, im n school 4 it...if u ever need help or anything let me knw.
