I need some links to some graphics sites. Like blogs etc. Flash design, font design. everything Is there a program that you can use to design worlds like the minipops but more centered on cityscapes and rural terrain? |

graphic design is the whore sellout branch of art (which is pretty gay itself), concerned with brainworms like starbucks logos and selecting typfaces that someone else created. |

I'm a graphic designer and it does feel like i'm selling my soul when i have to design... afterall graphic design is mostly needs to fit commercial needs, its very rare i get complete creative freedom. |

you can do basicly what you want if you are good enough tho. you have to set the standard, otherwise its just replication. |
||||||||

|
your kind of right, but it depends on the kind of job you have... clients seem to have some magical ability to pick the worst design out of a selection of finished artwork |
||||||||

ofcourse, and why would you present the best designs you can make to a client that wouldnt understand them? standardisation is a way of making it in the graphics bizz if you really don't give a fuck about clients. i mean, why give them the best if they dont deserve it? personally i like to mix it up a bit, sometimes i do a real effort and get turned down and then send in some rubbish which blows their minds. just do minimalism. do never make clients your primary unless you can have as much creative freedom as you want. |

Hence the term commercial artist, that's what a commission is afteral, get paid to do the work. |
||||||||
|

if there is a design you don't want them to pick, don't show them that one. only show work you are happy with and can stand behind. some clients are really good though, i do stuff for bmw and they pick the best one everytime...i know they are the minority, but they are out there. |
