Graphics Community
I am absolutely flabbergasted at the number of orders I have received since I opened my shop. Its very nice of ALL YOU GUYS to support my love of graphics. However, I have been thinking for awhile about our thread "reinvigorating" the graphics forums and I want to help. I try to remain as active as possible but my shop activity is not contributing to the "Big Picture". I have literally made thousands of FSP in graphics. While I do enjoy a good pay check why should I be the only one? I'm not going to be able to do this all time. School for me start January 13th and I am more motivated than ever to graduate with my nursing degree and that is going to take time and concentration. I don't want what slight activity I add to the forums to drop. So I think I have an idea of how to possibly increase our visitors, help the forums, and put some FSP in the pockets of its patrons
Introducing
Chagryn's School of Art.
This is going to be a program I am starting. I will accept 3 Students at a time with 1 Alternate Student (In-case we have a person drop out). Each course will be 2 months long with 8 sessions (1 each week). My goal is to help you with whatever program you use on a personal level. I do not have a "finalized" curriculum. We will start off with the "Rule of Thirds", Placement, and Text. My objective is to start a new task each week. Since this is my first trial run I don't know what kind of results we can expect. However, I hope to produce 3 excellent graphics makers every two months.
Lets talk business:
What does "Chagryn's School of Art" cost? You can pay in commitment, activity, a willingness to progress and a empty palm of FSP. (FREE!)
Pay nothing!?: Actually, to participate you must agree to give me your permission to donate all your work in my course to the NEXT GRAND GRAPHICS TOURNAMENT AUCTION. This is nonnegotiable.
What do I need? You will need to be competent in your current graphics editing program. I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 but I hope to assist you in whatever program you use. I am debating on going to photoshop CS2 so that everyone can use this free software and its easy to obtain.
*Edit* just made this in CS2 very similar to CS6. We maybe using CS2!
There will be more official topics coming at a later date.
Now, since I hope this takes off and I am going to commit myself 100% I will be closing shop temporarily. I thank all of you for supporting me and paying me oh so graciously but I think I am doing this in the betterment of the community. Wish us luck!
Will accept orders until the 11th.
Thanks!
