Question for all members

[sekuloguy]

i'm relatively new here, and I have been wondering. How old are you guys, what programs you have acsess to, and how the :censored: did you afford them, because I looked on the faq and most of these programs are hundreds of dollars. I only ask, because I see all these great concepts you make and it amazes me how you do them, and I want to make great concepts to.

how did you get your signature posted, like what did you save it as and stuff, i cant figureit out. Anyway to answer your question im around 15 years old

[sekuloguy]

first u have to open an account at photobucket.com...btw way it will ask u for ur social security #, just make it up.

then u save the picture u want as a .gif or something like that.

then u go into your account at photobucket, click the browse option, and it will bring you into ur pictures. choose the one you want, click submit. the pic will show up their. then click generate html and img code. then there will be a number of options. copy the option that says- IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards- then here at the message board click my controls by the top of ur screen. go down to where it says edit signature. in that box paste that code and click update my signature. if you want to get two sigs side by side like my yankee and knick ones you have to after the code for the first one just type one space after the whole thing and then put the code for the other one. it will start on a new line but when you update the signature they'll be side by side. have any problems just post here again.

how did u get it for free McCall

A guy I used to work with, him and one of his friends downloaded the demo and were able to "hack" (i guess would be the correct word [?]) a full version of AI 10 through the demo. I don't know how. They're both really big into computers, so they found some way. I fixed my computer last fall (for free, btw! ) and put a version of it and Photoshop on there for me at absolutely no cost at all.

I am 20 years old, a graphic design student at Ohio University, I just got a new Apple iBook, and I will be getting Adobe Creative Suite 2 with Photoshop, Illustrator, the works, etc. this week at a huge discount: $399 from the OU bookstore as opposed to the $1199 retail. They also have the MX Suite for $199, which I might pick up.

Keep in mind for a lot of people on this board graphic design is their job.

15 years old(Im 16 in a week) and I use paint. I have a ton of concepts done by hand though and thats what most of my work is done by, but on the computer I use paint.

[kingssss]

Photoshop 7.0 and I'm trying to figure out Illustrator. It's tough though.

I'm not giving out my age, but I'm relatively young. I use an old version of Photoshop and I rarely use Gimp.

really dont do concepts, well do on occasion but no one has ever seen them

and got the Creative Suite w/ the student discount at my university =)

Free trials of Photoshop and similar types of software are really helpful. I use Irfanview to resize all my logos, and it is shareware.
