Well, we have a Graphics Help, Graphics Request, Graphics Showcase...well..why not graphic resources?

A lot of people make icon bases, textures, brushes so why not have an area devoted to that?

Thoughts..preferably from graphic people?

actually thats not a bad idea.

i always itch to make an icon or whatever but always have trouble deciding what i want my base/inspiration to be.

^ I just made 60. Fashion pictured bases, but, yeaaahhh.


I reeally want this to happen.

rawr. i would love to have some of those...

ill spearhead the movement with you.
we need a bigger army of people who wnat this to happen though.

Gimme a minute, I'm trying to get them all uploaded and posted to me LJ.

Give it time. I'm sure a lot of people will like this idea. And if time doesn't work, then, really big bold red font in my sig will.

HaHa.

we'll start a neon colored font club. where we post this propaganda in really big neon font.

actually.....that's not a bad idea! i don't know why any of us haven't thought of that already!

i'm for it. *raises placard*

will cb host all these downloaded files?

maybe.

No. They would be hosted elsewhere. Prolly DA.

Brush files are a LOT of space.


Mainly I'd want this area just to share resources among eachother.

yes yes... that does sound like it would come in handy!

Sounds like a great idea. It would deffinately help a lot, I think.

..... *tat, tat, tat, tat*

-jump, glomp- OMGYESREILIWOULDLOVEIT! ^______^ Technically, I would use it... Love or use, it's all the same.

Ooh. Like stock photos. I think it's a great idea.

not just stock photos, why stop there?

brushes, tutorial sites, icon bases, textures, and a whole lot more wonderfulness that'll help us!

YESSSSSS!

Come on. You know you'd want to do that.

ANd i'm on design staff! I'll keep everything in check! So will Reili and everyone else!

Who do I have to PM to get this to happen?

everyone knows that you're a design staffer.

;P

I'm up for it, I'm sure it would help a lot of people as well. I'm sure people will enjoy it as well. Its just a matter of taking it on and having it all organized and such. And then having to get people to upload everything and etc.

which means, more graphic staffer?

IM UP FOR THIS TOO. omg GREAT idea kristina. invite me in.

Wow - why hasn't anyone thought of this before! It's a great idea! I'm definitely for it.

Ugh I know.

And to think this idea popped into my head a couple nights ago when I couldn't sleep.

I kept forgetting to make the topic.

But isn't this a schweeettttt idea?!

teh most amazingest kristina. duh

i would DEFINITELY love having stock photos. i have trouble finding some on google.

I've wondered about this ever since cB3 came out but the problem was having tons of textures/brushes/gradients/etc. would overkill the server. But if they will be hosted some other place like deviantART (which is extremely reliable), then yay, that's great. But since this won't hosted on the cB server, what did you have in mind? (As in how it would be set up and how to access it...)

Well, there are plenty of other ways to host things. Imageshack, Deviant art, etc etc etc

I thought that the title would be whatever the resource was, and then there would be a "teaser" image, with then a link to download.

DeviantArt takes forever to upload anything, and there are other places where you can put up zip files.

O0O MAYBE we can start a group over at yahoo groups for brushes and all sorts of downloadable things kind of like 1greeneye has for its brushes

Oh, I mean here on cB. Another forum can be easily made but if there were to be a section off the forums (like graphics/layouts/topsites/etc.) then we would have to consult Jusun.

If we were to have a forum called graphic resources, people could just make a topic with the type of resource in the title. Having subforums may be too much since there are so many types of resources, but it may be more organized.

We could have a universal DA account

Ok. Sounds great to me. Is there anything that needs to be taken care of?

Making the DA account, uhh coming up with a template of how to post..

itty bitty stuff




DA account has been made

DA personally I like that idea the best. Just how exactly are you going to post all the stuff on to deviant art?

Everyone knows the password. Andyou just write that YOU, *insert your name here* made it.

how do we find out the password?

Once this is, the graphics resources subforum thing, is made.

oh gotcha.

hurry up cB!

lol we just need an admin to make the place.

I love that idea! It'd be so much easier to find resources if they're were more groups and communities out there

what if it was an actual virus.

^ What?

I don't think we have to worry about that.

This is a really good idea.

Well, uh, *poke* *nudge* I do have that deviantart account made.

Why not just have a link to the site for brushes instead of a whole other forum?

I don't like the bases idea. Part of the whole point of making a graphic is finding the image.

Your first line is missing the topic. People HERE make the resources and post them HERE.

And that last parts not true. A base is an image you find. A photograph is a base. Everythings a base.

Oh I get the brushes part, but I still think that having bases listed takes away a whole part of graphic making.

How so?

Because a large part of it is finding the right images and displaying them in the right way. I don't know if that is exactly how to explain it but like what to use in the image, what to include and what to crop out. I can understand having stock images but having pre-cropped images takes away a large part of the actual design part.

In your eyes, yes. But really, it's just a base. People can change it, color it, do whatever the heck they want to it.

And if they don't like the cropping and whatever then they don't use it.

So there are no objections to making this forum? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

i am all for it. supported it from day one! *chants* do it! do it! do it!

None here.

Whoo!
