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? |

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.

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
