hi

I just wonder how many of you are getting money of making graphix and how many of you doing it just for fun?

(both fun and money are not account )

Thanks

I make my living with Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc., but I still wouldn't do it if it was not fun and if I did not enjoy it.

I'll have to agree with Fred....I make a living out of Phtotoshop and Dreamweaver too, but if it wasn't fun I would probably do something else. And if I have the time for it I can play around in Photoshop when I'm not working too.....which doesn't happen that often.....unfortunatly

But of course it's fun

I started out using Photoshop purely from a "hobbyist" point of view... but interestingly, I'm getting more and more commissioned work! Perhaps, one day, I'll make a "living" out of it...

...there would be no "Inside Photoshop" books.


And Bouton would cease to exist.

I'm kidding.

In the spare time I do not have, I tinker with 3D, and creating fonts. And restoring stuff, and/or digitizing it. I'd say that in the past 11 years I've been on a computer, I've created more artwork than in my 40 some odd years with an analog pencil

I work in an architectural firm. In fact that's where I am rignt mow posting this. [shhh] Coffee break at 10:30 pm.

I use Photoshop a lot in perspective rendering. As well as Corel Draw and Autocad.

Next year I plan to go back to my first love - Graphic Design & Advertising. Probably venture into web design ( A lot to learn next year). Less stress and more time for other important things in my life.

Samifox, you will notice that everyone who has posted a reply uses other apps apart from Photoshop. It would be an advantage to include other apps in your arsenal, mostly especially vector/layout programs if you plan to enter the graphic design field.

You mentioned you were from Israel. (Hava, Nagila Hava - I like that folk song.) What's the Graphic Design scenario there?

Yes, c'mon Shay, instead of only asking questions, how about replying to one this time?

Rick

Only problem with this Vee is that you posted at 8:46 pm a little early for Coffe Break [bustagut] [bustagut] Big brother is watching [bustagut] [bustagut] [shocked]
