Well .. I disagree, gimp was a pain in my ass when I gave it a shot. Photoshop for some reason came much more natural for me.

Yeah, i started with GIMP, too... i always thought the options i needed were somewhere lol, but the software dies its best to hide them. :D Some things just are more complicated then they could be; maybe i was just too lazy, but PS is for sure more intuitive.

 

Been busy lately so those stuff here really could be better, but for quick designs they are ok i guess. Hope i find more time for the next batch of posters to create some killers again lol.

Are there free "Photoshop Programs"? I've tried to use gimp but I just have a hard time. I'll probably have a hard time with anything else as well. Here is my latest work, and it doesn't even come close to being as good as most in here.

Gimp is really as full featured as you are going to get in the free realm. If you having problems ... I can't stress enough to search Youtube and Google for tutorials. Even though they won't be doing "posters" per say in their tutorials, you will pick up tricks here and there that will help you, like holding shift down when drawing with the pencil/paint brush tool to get a straight line (photoshop) ... or learning what the different layer fx are and what they do. Also, just sit there and do stupid shit that you never show anybody. You should see some of the things I did 10 years ago when I first started using photoshop. I would fiddle with this and fiddle with that and just come up with something I thought was cool, that to this day I have no idea how to reproduce. I have several things like that which i would love to remake for a larger desktop image now and just can't. For instance...

I know how I did the majority of that image. It was a black screen when I started. Made some difference clouds. Fiddled with some filters. Some more difference clouds. A pattern overlay for the scan lines. But I have been trying for 6 years to recreate it and can not get anything close to it. It's a continual learning process man, just keep plugging away at it.

Depends ... I was still charging 2k up until a couple months ago when I had to increase price due to workload to 3k. Now people are refusing to pay that and are paying me more. A lot more. I try to dissuade them but they wont listen. Bastards.

 

 

Speaking of which ....

hi,

I'm new here and I've noticed that you can make some money with posters and logos, so if you are interested in a poster or logo you simply get in touch :).

 

My first works:

I charge 5k per poster... it's more a fun thing here, i don't really need the money, so prices will stay i guess.

 

Great work guys.

I'm at the point where I don't need the money anymore as well, and the incentive to raise my price isn't there like it once was.....so I see where you guys are coming from.

 

But to the guys starting out - make no mistake these guy's work is worth 10k+ and there are lots of people willing to pay it too.

They wouldn't be overcharging either so don't feel guilty! There is a ton of money out there, just take a look at the contracts being thrown around these days.

Amen, mate... i got an 8/5,5/5,5 offer for a 1-0-0 guy lately. :D I wouldn't say no if i start working for a new org on a 10k rate lol, it is more that i work for the same 3 orgs on longer term now, we agreed on 4-5k and i don't want to ask for more there. If i would have financial pressure i definitly would, but without that it still feels like good money for work i like. And i really like the orgs i work for, so that's even better.

Im looking for someone that got skills to make new banners and logo for my org.

I am thinking a image that "changes" so it will be mostly text based but good art. For eg. showing "Fight every week" then it changes to company name.

If you got the skills I got the tycoon $$$. Please pm me if you think you are up for it.
