well, it doesn't matter now...

well, it doesn't matter now...

And yet, you decided to make a topic. C'mon, man.

[brooklyneast05]

Like Jc Topic
"a good read for designers/artists/creatives/etc, incomplete manifesto for growth"
wasn't no feedback on it or nothing that was related to it.
Maybe more designers, coders, professionals. techs would love this site if it didn't look it was ran by little teenagers.

all people have to do is post more topics like that. you could too post more design thoughtful topics. shrugs. it probably wouldn't accomplish much, but it would accomplish as much as this topic.


yea it would be nice if those people loved this site, but they aren't going to. this site is run by a bunch of teenagers for the most part. i'm not talking about the staff as much as just everyone in general, this isn't a site for professionals and never has been really. a site like that needs way more people that are knowledgeable. most the people here have no knowledge of design. there's a few who can make layouts or graphics, but they aren't "designers". they're just people who can apply some filters and cut shit out in photoshop.

98% of the people who post for help here aren't concerned with concepts or ideas. their work isn't conceptual and doesn't visually communicate much of anything. it doesn't usually have any rhyme or reason to it. they can't tell you why they did anything other than they think it looks good. (which it usually doesn't even look good) they are unconcerned with actual design elements like visual hierarchy or negative space. their work usually has no coherent color theory or point to the colors they choose, and also they typically suck at coming up with color palettes. also the vast majority don't know shit about typography, how to use or not use type, etc. you can't take a site filled with people like this and make it some professional design site. the people here are like 16 year olds who like to make shit for myspace. they aren't designers and aren't even concerned with real design much.


i mean i'm cool with making some topics in my free time about working/historic graphic designers/firms/movements, or more design inspiration kind of topics but most people here aren't going to care. the only ones who will prob care much is the few people here who might be interested in a career in the field or perusing design school.


oh yeah and did YOU give any feedback on that topic i made? nope

[none345678]

OH SNAP /mike

name some, please.

[brooklyneast05]

why?

look around, go to the showcase booth

[creole]

tbh, i only see like 2 people who could fall into that category.

[brooklyneast05]

oh so you think we have a bunch of professional designers here? you think making avatars and wallpapers with celebrities is the epitome of design?





this is never going to be a professional design site like she said because people here are not professionals designers or even wanting to be.

[LittleMissSunshi...]

I think we should add a porn section, and a random or /b/ section.

uh no, we are not a porn site or 4chan.. it would just bring viruses to our computers.

that's why i said my revival would never be successful. i'm not that interested in like what the weather is like or what people ate for their last meal that i wanna come here just to read that. that isn't fun to me. the people who enjoy that kind of stuff should be the ones to revive it they way they want.
i don't mean debates. i mean discussion. people don't even find that fun it doesn't seem like.

but jc, our discussions can be about anything.. it may not be appealing to some cb users, but at least there will be some discussions going on. wouldn't it be big, if everyone participates in that discussion?

i never said that. i'm saying most of our createblog members are concerned with concepts or ideas. cause you implied:

no, silly. i'm sure most of us want to do much better things on photoshop besides looking at a celebrity and editing the shit out of them. look at what most things get submitted on cb. more than half of the submissions are flooded with celebrities/cartoons/nature/objects/text/etc. maybe to you these types of submissions may not help us as a site, but in someway it does. the showcase section is used for sharing and collaborating feedback from other members right? well that's strictly for showcase section.

celebrities. we could hate them with a passion, but they are good sources to work with. i know there are other designers/creators who think outside the box and try to go for something less expected ( like schizo/gabi for example, look at her lyts. beautiful, no?) there's nothing wrong with celebrities as long as you put good use into them. anyone you classify as "known by a lot of people or influenced many people in a way" could be consider as a celebrity. not just kanye or some other celeb of this decade.

this is never going to be a professional design site like she said because people here are not professionals designers or even wanting to be.

so what do you want us to do? replace all our member designers with REAL-paid designers? i thought this site was mostly a resource site. if you want to get into the serious design shit, then i'm sure Graphic Design Forum and How Design are accepting to members.

[brooklyneast05]

can you read? the OP was the one talking professional design and i'm saying it's never going to be that. so no, i don't want to go replace all our members with real paid designers obviously.


i'm replying to what she said about professionals. that's never going to happen because this site isn't centered around the design that professionals would typically give a shit about. most of the people here aren't concerned with real world design. serious designers aren't gonna come to get tips on making avatars and junk like that. i'm telling her it's wishful/irrelevant thinking.

[creole]

no, i didn't bother to read because it's always the same bickering about cB.

[brooklyneast05]

then don't bother replying to me if you haven't bothered to read the conversation

[creole]

owait, nvm i posted in the last page, so i guess that counts as reading.

[brooklyneast05]

reading counts as reading in my book

[creole]

i guess i haven't read your book

[none345678]

JC is gonna pop a cap in your ass.

[creole]

i'll like it anyways

[brooklyneast05]

then shut the f*ck up and don't reply to me. the OP brought up wishful thinking about how professionals etc would love the site (not me), i said this isn't ever going to be a site for that target audience, you asked me if i wanted to replace all the members with real paid designers.

[creole]

k like i said, those other two forums are better off for the professional etc audience.

[brooklyneast05]

k like i said, those other two forums are better off for the professional etc audience.

why the f*ck are you telling me? how many times do you need to be told that the op is bring up professionals

[creole]

lol, what makes you think i'm talking towards you? this is FOR the OP. and if it was you, i would have ignored it. kthanx problem solved

[brooklyneast05]

rofl what makes me think you're talking to me? how about the fact your initial reply when you a made that suggestion the first time was in reply to me. you quoted my post. you replied to my points. you initiated the convo with me specifically, not anyone else because you asked me a direct question to kick this all off. all your previous replies after mine have been replies to my posts. the better question is why the hell wouldn't i think you were talking to me? you probably can't grasp this though

and if it was you, i would have ignored it.

this gives me hope

[iRapediCarly]

hahahahaha good topic

[LittleMissSunshi...]

blaaaaaaaah, bump. nevar have an argument wiff jc, he's too godly and he will always win his side.
