Sharing backgrounds in the graphic resource forum would be too much trouble. Why? Because some backgrounds that get submitted are worse than the ones you even pointed out. If you just let people post their own its going to become this chaotic thing, in which you guys will be posting a new topic again in the future, asking us to just go through them or create some process in which they aren't just added in there. Personally I think they are fine were they are.
Backgrounds and pattenrs can easily be considered "graphics" in a way. If you want to put them in the resource forum why not put everything else in there. All the graphics that are being accepted are pretty much resources for people anyway. QUOTE This will really help the graphics section look much better. The submitted graphics should be stuff that NOT EVERYONE CAN MAKE, rather than what I call below-average. Not everyone is a genius, not everyone is the Carrie or kristina (don't take this offensively because I love you guys) or any other people that make EXTREMELY NICE GRAPHICS that no one else can make/do (ok well what majority can't do). Some people get off making decent things that everyone else can make too. So they should easily be able to be accepted if they are decent and atleast up to most/majority of the standards in the rules. If the graphic section was limited to things not everyone could make ..why would we have a photo section? Everyone can make photos so that would pretty much be eliminated. You would then have is banners/icons. And lately all icons can be made by everyone. So might as well eliminate that too. My point is changing the graphic section to things everyone can't make would pretty much eliminate the graphics section. QUOTE Yes I know Some of the 'icons' are all over the internet and are posted at least twice. (wtf?) I see your point too, but more than one mod accepts graphics so its kind of hard to keep track of whats there and whats not. I agree with Mona. Regarding the dress one, yea um thats pointless. But I don't find the backgrounds and patterns being pointless at all. QUOTE Dots and patterns are nice, but they take like...1 minute to make. Compare this to the Design Staff that have made millions of backgrounds that take at least 20. I can easily make 50 dots and call myself Official Designer. Duration doesn't mean anything. It takes some people longer than others to do things. Once you get the hang of it things don't take long at all. |

IN REFERENCE TO TOYA'S POST:
Actually, the Graphics Resources subforum was recently set up, right? Well, I don't really understand clearly what can be posted in the forum or not. So perhaps, a few more guidelines/rules should be set there. Just a suggestion. And also, I understand your viewpoint. However, I think these simple backgrounds should only count as 1/2 a graphic when it comes to official designer application. Why? Although some people may have spent a lot of time on making these backgrounds, I think the complicated banners/vectors/etc. people submit should deserve more respect than simpler graphics. We all know how much more effort people need to put in them. Hence, mods really need to be careful on this matter. Maybe what I meant by "something everyone can make" was not clear enough. I didn't mean that we should eliminate photos/icons. I was talking about banners and more of the complicated graphics. I take banners as an example. Everyone can open MS Paint, fill in the background and add some simple text onto a banner-sized graphic. You hardly need any effort to create this "banner". Hence, I don't think such simple graphics deserve to be on cB resources at all. I emphasize once more, that, cB should offer the best (or at least fairly good) graphics on the Internet. Graphics that just look decent and not ugly are not good enough. I thought we tried to upper cB's resources standard a little bit during the last house-cleaning session? I hope we're not going back to where we started off. I do not wish to see cB becoming a typical, average blog resources site. |
