PLEASE BE AWARE OF BRUSHES. Logos are the only decent things there, brushes.

:rolleyes: Dude, shut the **** up.
Get over it, people disagree with you.

[Jme]

I think your work is quite good acually, Josh.

Thanks Jamie :D

Get over it, people disagree with you.Yet you don't deny that every single piece is compiled with a brush. Point proven:rolleyes:

I've disagreed on MSN. ;)
Yes, for my backgrounds I've used brushes, but not every piece of work lmao.

[Excellent]

Every single piece but 1-2.

[Plux]

:rolleyes:...

Not really..

[Excellent]

Everybody has their tastes/opinions, JME likes your style, understandable. I however do not. You need to get on some websites for inspiration, stop using brushes and create your own. Also lower the drop shadow on almost everything.

[Jme]

I love how if you compliment someone these days you apparently have your tongue up their ****? hmmmm :|

As you once said, everyone has a style to make them stand out with design.
Mine, is the useage of drop shadows.

Mine, is the useage of drop shadows.And brushes.

[Plux]

And brushes.

No.... Shut the **** up about brushes sheesh..

[risque]

Near enough everything has a sort of vector-styled brush sprawled across it and to be honest it isn't always pretty. You've pulled some of the designs off, but others just look really poor quality. Experimenting more may be the trick.

[Excellent]

No.... Shut the **** up about brushes sheesh..Thats why I have nearly every single one of them in my tray:rolleyes:

[[Oli]]

Hmm no offence but there are.. ALOT of bruses in there...
Ofcourse the typographic skill is still yours but still...

It's just my opinion I guesse
(because I've set myself the rule never ever to use brushes or premade things for that mather)

Yeah a lot of it is old work, and that's what I'm doing, exploring new ones,
I'm working on some others designs atm. ^^

& Yeah, I use brushes on my banners, but a lot of people do =P

[Excellent]

Not rubbing in but see how not everybody agrees with you now josh? I admit if you cut down on the brushes and silly colours your designs could be okay.

Yeah, I don't use 100s of brushes like others, but I will calm down. :P

[[Oli]]

I used to use brushes all the time in old days...
But one day I thought:

People just take a brush *click, click, click*, type a word over it or w.e & call it "their" design...
Like what the hell, the brushes were made by someone else, so I decided that day never ever to use anything premade, now I make everything myself, which is a good experiance to be honest, every time you learn some new method to do something and it's more fun to think you made it :)

(this wasn't aimed at you btw, just in general ;) )

He doesnt just use brushes but even if he did whats it to you? Your average user isnt going to say 'This uses brushes Im not using this site'. Aslong as its asthetically pleasing and works well whats the problem?

I do use brushes on the banners, but a few of the shapes are self-made.

[[Oli]]

Like I said, the problem is I sometimes see people ex. even on deviantart who put like 4 brushes into eachother, a word with effects over it, and call it THEIR design (with no credit to brush makers what so ever)

That would be the problem, people calling it their own, without creditting the brush-designers.

This is my view on this though...

Whats that got to do with anything. Just because a persons not great at designing does it mean they cant give an opinion? Anyway thats a layout I made quickly and for free

[Independent]

I think your work is quite good acually, Josh.
I agree, I love that "LIKEBLOG" one.

[Excellent]

I agree, I love that "LIKEBLOG" one.The only good thing about that is the "Likeblog.in" text.

Well, you've got your opinion across - shut up already? :)

No, because your just trying to critisize Josh's work because you can't make anything better.

[Excellent]

No, because your just trying to critisize Josh's work because you can't make anything better.I'm criticizing his work because it needs to be. If you're too blind and dumb to see that then I urge you to give up designing, well.. do that anyway, nivade..

Nivade is actually going well, I've never seen one of your projects.. but I guarentee it's an epic fail.

[Excellent]

Lucas, just piss off, get out of this thread.

So are you. (You and your Imaginary project).

[today]

[Hiro]

Some of it is quite good, just try not to overuse brushes, the less brushes, the better.
Nice work (:

Okay so let me get this straight not only are you being a grade A imbecile (again) but you're also assuming a project I have going is failing.. What projects do I have going sherlock?

If nivade isn't a failure then I'm not sure what is in all honesty.

And they're decent but they're too plain and you've used too many brushes.

Typoed, and as explained. :rolleyes:

That's good but it lacks something...

It would look better with a darker background and better focus on typography.

[Source]

Personally it lacks something and overuses something at the same time. The lines with consumer at the end are just overused and repetitive for me personally...

Yep, too many consumers.

[Plux]

The background was just a quick-act out of boredom.
I'll probably redo one, and post it.

[Havoline]

It wasn't a typing error, you can't comment on peoples grammar if you can't spell a simple word like that. :)

And what else did you want me to say? If I said it was amazing work - I'd be lieing. ;)

I'm sorry, I missed out a letter, boo hoo.
& I don't give a ****, I had explained with the brushes, but obviously your post count dominates your common sense.

Now piss off.

I love how theres a bunch of nobody's on the design forums now that all they do is critize. Rockdemons has his flash work.. Oli has his design.. They have a the right to speak there mind because they can backup what they say.. and help the community. (theres others i just can't be bothered writing it out)

You don't need to be a website and layout coder to critisize someones work, I do graphics and his work isn't good, I'm allowed to say that.

Plux / Joshuae go cry.

Designs very simple, not bad just simple, could be spurced up a little.

Also offtopic is your name Jack?
