When you create a design from scratch do you draw it out first on paper and then scan it into your computer? Or do you just use the drawing tools in Photoshop? Just curious!:yinyang:
While your comment was likely made in jest, many people actuallly do believe that a software program is going to automatically make them a "graphic designer" or an "artist". Too many people think that is all they need to pursue a career in design. It takes a lot more than a computer and an array of Adobe applications to be an artist or designer. Those things are only tools. It would be no different if I went out and bought a huge tool closet full of wrenches and drivers and decided that I would become an auto mechanic. I know nothing about cars and I would never be able to simply buy the tools and expect to excel at auto repair without any sort of training, dedication, or skill. It takes time, learning, and talent to start a career in art or design. There is no "cool design" button in any of those apps that you can click and turn a poor to mediocre idea into the greatest design ever.I discovered Illustrator wouldn't magically turn me into Rembrandt.

:black: @ Brown Study.
Its okay, I'm not so good with Math and Science.
Art and Design is my thing.
You bring a good point though (and pardon me whilst I ramble off topic for a moment):
