SMU2:: The Signature Maker's Union v. 2

SMU Request Thread

Yes, you heard me right, the SMU has started again! With bogger's formal stamp of approval, it's under new management with a few minor adjustments to help streamline the process.

Basically, I was browsing the marketplace and noticed the pretty much free-for-all since the SMU's closing. And many people were disappointed because they could not find quality graphics easily anymore. So here is the solution. Bringing back what already works. So think of the SMU2: header like a the USDA Grade A sticker you see in the supermarket, only for graphics, instead of meat. Rolling Eyes (Oh yeah, I totally rock at analogies, I know. ^_^) It insures that you will get quality graphics at a reasonable price. The artists have been pre-screened and are at least relatively good at what they do. Smile

We here at the SMU are willing to make Sigs for the extremely reasonable price of 20 frih$. While that may be more than some of the really cheap sigs you can get around here, remember that you are buying quality. Very Happy Also, remember that by requesting at the SMU general thread, you are greatly increasing your chances of getting a request filled quickly because of a larger pool to choose from. Smile If you request from a specific artist in an SMU approved shop, you know you are getting quality.

Questions? Just drop me a line here or through PM. If you ahve a problem with any of our artists, please PM me. Smile

Artist Information
Would you like to be part of the SMU v 2? Why wouldn't you? You get more business, get pimped for free, and get to be one of the cool kids. Cool Yep, all the cool kids on the block are joining the party! Wink But really, this should increase your business and profits, and save you fishing time. As part of the SMU, you would be expected to:
x be nice and polite, unless the requester is really terrible, in which case, please tell me.
x try your hardest to comply with the request and make changes as you see fit
x pimp the SMU whenever you see a chance. Wink

Now, onto getting accepted. All I need is to know that you are, well, all right at this thing. So, please Fill out the following form.
Code:
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]I have been making graphics since:[/b]
[b]Link to a relatively large gallery[/b]
[b]Best Example[/b]


I will review your application and either accept you into the SMU (usually) or occasionally give youa few pointers on how to get better so you're of SMU caliber. Smile If I don't approve your application, please don't take it personally, because it's all done with good intentions. If I disapprove, you may always ask for a second opinion, in which case your application will travel to an experienced designer or other member of the SMU. All members of the previous SMU are already preapproved by default. Smile Thank you for your cooporation! Very Happy Also, you are not obliged to fill any more or any less requests than you wish.

Just a question, what if some of us don't have this "large gallery" you are reffering to, couse we are new to "free for all" community banner design even thou we aren't new to graphics. Are we destined to go solo and maybe try to apply next time or do we get a chance to join and maybe get expelled if we don't quite meet the requirements? Wink

Of course you get a chance. Smile Send me over a couple of pieces of whatever and I may ask you to fill a small request if I'm still on the fence. Smile

Nice to know Wink Just say a title of a movie or anything i will do banner on that theme and post it here. But i asked this not just couse of me, but there are a lot of users that don't have this portfolio of theirs but they still can have this hidden potential. Another question is if they want to join, but thats up to them Wink

One more thing, you know that this "free for all" community designs are in strict contrast with professional banner designs for example? Its kind of interesting. But thats maybe couse professional banner design doesn't rely only on looks but has strict rules of typography and layout which i find limitating. Sometimes you need to get your imagination going without worrying about pointless rules. Wink
