lol i'm just joking
Ha ha, I 'caught' you:DD Nah, I'm just playing, too. Yeah, let's drop this. But seriously, thank you for responding to my initial comment about the vectors. I understood what you said about "prestige", and when I said I laughed at that...I just meant...something about the idea of "prestige" over money just made me laugh. There was a time when I was totally for that but I guess new economic times call for new ways of thinking. At least on my part. But again, we were talking about "professional graphic designers".
But you know what, there is so much talent out there. It's amazing. Even to offer an artist a 'little' bit of money, and they will probably take it, just for the chance to do what they love (and be able to buy a sandwich here and there), you know? xoxo

it's not that design on cb is bad (although it is a lot of times), as much as it's just not...design. it doesn't end with this kind of stuff. this stuff isn't what professional designers typically do, make little avatars and junk like that (in regards to the queue, not your post mel lol, this is off topic). design is more about thinking and problem solving than using photoshop, at least when you have real clients giving real work. graphic design wasn't invented when computers were, that's the point a lot of people are missing. computers have just allowed for new ways of doing things.
you've seen a lot of good graphic design, you just don't realize it.
we live our lives inside the world of design. it's everywhere. everything you buy, every store you go to, every business you use, what you see online, the mail you get, the magazines you buy, the signs you see, the maps you look at, it's all designed.
Sorry, Brooklyn East, I re-read my response to what you said and it sounded like I was against what you said when in fact I was agreeing with EVERYTHING you said. I was referring to what "another responder on here" said about the bad graphics in the queue and stuff like that. I can't comment to them directly. You know why. Anyway, cheers.
