New group for pro designers

[farscapeone]

I made a new group (my first ) here on x10. Let me know if you're interested.

Group name: Professional web and graphic designers

Group link: http://forums.x10hosting.com/groups/...designers.html

Group description:
I made this group to gather up all professional web and graphic designers here on x10. The purpose of this group is to let everybody know that your work and experience stands behind your reviews, design related comments and posts.

My intentions are not to insult anybodies work but this group is "Invite Only". I would be the one to deciding who can become a member and who can't. Who am I to make that derision? First of all I made this group so If you don't like it just make your own Second, you can see my work and experience all over the forums and I think that speaks for itself.

FAQ

Q:How can I become a member?
A:There are two ways:

1. Post here on this thread;
2. PM me;

IMPORTANT! In both case you'll have to post (or send) examples of your work or link to your portfolio site (if you have one).

What are you waiting for

sounds like a good idea ;) we'll see how its implemented. :D

[farscapeone]

Thank you all for your support.

Remember, this group can't accomplish anything if no one is interested in becoming a member, so please feel free to apply for a membership if you are a web or graphic designer.

Thanks in advance.

Come on people! I can't believe there are no professional web and/or graphic designers here. PLEASE submit your work here so we can finally get some members!!!

Thank you.

What defines a "professional" designer? Most people on the forum probably wouldn't call themselves professional...

[farscapeone]

Simply put, professional means that you get payed for your work.

[sourfacedcyclop]

So I assume its an "I live off/support myself by being a web designer" rather than a "I've done/am doing a project which I am getting paid for." type of thing? If that's the case, I doubt there will be a lot of people. Most people here probably couldn't be called pros. It is a free hosing forum, so I doubt many professional web designers conglomerate here.

Correct.

Well, I'm here When I have a project that's not that important or I want to share something with everyone I usually use free hosting. I mean if I'm offering something for free on my website why should I pay for the hosting. It's not about money, it's just my way of looking at things.

But OK, if you (or anybody else) have few years of experience and some work behind you that I can see, feel free to post a request. Main idea of this group is to gather up people that can help those who want to become web designers and already have some knowledge regarding web and graphic design. To be able to offer a professional opinion based on experience. On the other hand this group is not for everyone because questions like "Help I don't know where to upload?" or "What is this CSS everybody is talking about?" are not welcome. Those questions can be answered by anyone with basics knowledge of web design or simply searching the web. You don't need a professional opinion for that.

I hope I explained it a little bit more and that people would consider joining now even if they aren't professional web and/ or graphic designers.

I like the idea

I don't fit the criterias though, so far I have very little work to show, and thus practically no experience as well. I'm working on getting there though.

I do not expect to get paid enough to keep it as full time job in a near future, atm I don't expect to get paid at all due to lack of experience / knowledge.
