Ok guys. I see tons of "Pro" graphics designers that make signatures and other stuff. And their work....is terrible. Most people just make a 1-color background and put text over it with NO effects on it or TONS of effects on it and making it look terrible. So, if you have a shop on PMC, take a second look at your work and ask yourself "Is my work good enough for people to actually want?" and if you dont get ANYONE asking for something. That's a sigh that your work isn't very good. TIPS: Look around on YouTube and look at some ways you can improve. Ask truely pro graphics designers how you can improve.

Here's an example: AdvertisingBannergif

This guy bevels almost EVERYTHING and uses the default FX. AND MAKES PEOPLE PAY! DON'T MAKE PEOPLE PAY FOR LOW QUALITY GRAPHICS. PEOPLE: Do NOT pay for anything like this. Look around. Most shops are free and quality 10x better than this.

So uh yea. Closing this up. See yah! If you thought this helped you in anyway or support the cause, give a diamond.

I agree, most graphics designers here are mediocre... Like I am and surely you are too!

But this is my idea of mediocre: i.imgur.com/gAzRe.png
So I need your opinion am I "pro", or "mediocre"?

I'm surely not "Pro". I am still learning new ways to make my graphics better. You can tell that i'm better than someone like LTDragonz11, but i'm surely not pro. I would probably rate it a 6 out of 10.

I have not taken any classes as I am still young but with time watching tutorials and stuff and just testing different things out I have become a pretty good gfx designer. Also being the expirienced designer I am and then looking at these poor attempts at shops as you have talked about above and I just question why these people are getting buyers.

I have no idea. Some people that are really bad at Graphics, just want "Customers". Most people that request from them don't even use their work.

My backgrounds are usually simple, and I animate a lot on my GFX, yet you ask me to partner with you. xD
