Ugh, why do it yourself if its already done though? Because apparently if you do it yourself then you get the right to act like a douche bag and accuse people of not making their own work. I realized I don't have the logo I made for it anymore. I was going to post it here along with all the images used but then I realized I don't care what you twats think. I know I made it and I don't have to prove it to anyone. So yeah, believe whatever you want. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference to me. Winning.

Then use one thats been cut out properly. If the cutting is a little lackluster then use the Eraser or Clone Stamp to fix it, or even a form of blending. Or just do it yourself or not at all. Why dont you go to wrestling events and take your own photos of the wrestlers to use? From now on, I'm banning your from using any pre-taken photos other sites have posted.

I just use pre-cut ones, its faster and easier, and usually very well done. If they're not, I'll find another. Sheesh...

From now on, I'm banning your from using any pre-taken photos other sites have posted. Not remotely what I meant. I've always found that cutting images out myself yielded better results than using precut stuff from some PSD resource site. I'm not making huge accusations here either. The Royal Rumble and Uprising images are drastically different in quality. It's not supposed to be an insult by any means. Just a simple observation. That being said, if any of you are going to do graphic design and think calling someone a douche bag when they question your work OR give criticism, you're all going to fail miserably.

Because some people cant cut out images. For example; The CM Punk PSD used in that Uprising poster is turd. Man, you are an absolute douchebag. I like them all, AC. Especially the Rumble one, which looks fantastic. He's a douche bag for speaking the truth? He made very valid points and if you yourself are or trying to be a graphic designer you could easily sympathize with what he's saying or at the very least understand.

And then people wonder why this section is dead... People are gonna stop posting if you accuse them of not making the stuff they post.

He made very valid points and if you yourself are or trying to be a graphic designer you could easily sympathize with what he's saying or at the very least understand. I am trying to be a graphics designer and I don't sympathize with what he said at all. It came off as insulting just because one piece of my work is better than the other. I didn't know I had to be consistent at all times and make something as good as the rumble signature. I mean I'm sure it would be better if I was consistent at all times but who can be consistent at all times? And I don't find constructive criticism in someone basically insinuating I didn't make something. And for the record "that punk psd is turd" is not constructive criticism. I don't think I would have previous jobs making graphics around my town and a few in the area if I was taking other peoples work as my own. Not to mention why would I want to take someone else's work an post it when I have the skills and qualifications to make something myself? No wonder this board is in the damn shape it's in. If the "vets" come along and accuse or insinuate that someone isn't making their own stuff. Guess I'll stick to the other forum I post on seeing as how constructive criticism there is helpful and not the so called "constructive criticism" here.

It was just an observation. If us vets arent allowed to have them without the newbies crying about it, then what do you guys have other than a bunch of people marking out at average work?
You should try to find your groove and be consistent. If you were to stack my work or Kliquid's up in a random pile with a bunch of other stuff, I'm certain that if someone knew our specific style, that they would be able to pinpoint who made what. Who has to be consistent all the time? The world does. If you're inconsistent at your job then you stand the chance of losing it. If you're inconsistent in your studies, then your grades suffer. Is doing your best and putting out the best that you can do inconsistent?

The quality in the Uprising poster is drastically different from the Rumble signature. There's also a difference between claims and questions.

It was a question that he answered, and you continued pushing.
He makes his graphics a different way to you, deal with it. Don't claim his way should be banned. That's just ignorant and stupid. Believe it or not, you CAN criticize work without sounding like a douche. I do fully understand your consistency argument, but I feel you put it across in a dick-ish way before.
As an artist myself, I have my ups and downs. Sometimes im more inspired, or have more time, or am just in the right mood and create something better. Nobody is fully consistent all the time. I have nothing against you, you make some awesome graphics, but I feel you should be trying to welcome more activity to your board, especially when his graphics aren't bad by any means. Costructive criticism goes a lot further.

Sheesh, I didnt continue pushing anything. I changed the subject to crappy PSDs once he said he made his stuff. How come no one reads this crap and I'm always defending myself from people attacking me?

Screenshot of you working on the PSD's, please? That reminds me. People shouldnt use pre-cut PSDs for their work. That can ruin and entire graphic. When I say "PSD," I'm talking about the Photoshop document of the entire graphic. I hate that the 'gfx' community turned a filetype into a dirty word. When I'm talking about a cutout photo, I generally use the word "cutout." But anyway, I can see why Paul would think that these graphics were made by different designers... Allow me to explain... 1. Any graphic artist worth a crap knows to always save a copy of their original file for future editing. Once you have even one graphic where you realized you spelled something wrong, put a wrong date, etc.; you will understand why this is necessary. 2. It seems mighty convenient that the person posting this graphic didn't save a copy of his PSD's. 3. I don't mean to sound rude, but the difference in quality between the "Uprising" graphic and "Royal Rumble" graphic are WAY different. I'm talking about pretty much every aspect of it... Let's start from the backgrounds. The first graphic has kind of a cool blue cloud background, but the lightning effect is something that a relative newbie would use. It doesn't look completely horrible, but the fact that the lightning seems to go through his body doesn't make a lot of sense (think about it). Now compare that to the blending effect that was put on the Royal Rumble graphic. This graphic has a really unique broken glass effect with type going behind it and the photo blends REALLY well on the right-hand side because it almost has a reflection look to it. This effect makes sense. Now let's compare the text quality. This is where the biggest difference is... The top graphic uses five different fonts that I could find (aside from the "SD/RAW" logo). The bottom graphic used two fonts (aside from the Royal Rumble logo). The fewer fonts makes things flow together much more effectively. Last, the simple quality of the saved graphic is obvious. While the Uprising graphic is almost blurry in numerous areas, the Royal Rumble graphic is very crisp. ... I can continue if you'd like, but these are very obvious differences to anyone who has anyone who has a graphic design background. I've been designing for almost a decade at this point and I've seen many, many people try to pass off others' graphics as their own. If you made both of these graphics, then your skills (not just your idea, which is acceptable to change) drastically decreased from one graphic to the next.

The whole Uprising poster was just an idea. I didn't execute the idea very well because I'm still very new to trying stuff like that as opposed to much simpler things which is why the rumble one is better. I didn't save a psd of it because I made it for fun and didn't intend to do anymore to it. I liked it how it was. Also as far as the bg goes on the rumble graphic, I didn't make it. I blended some objects on to an image I had saved for a long time that was basically a windows vista wallpaper that was broken and had the error codes in the broken part. I added everything else to it.
