You must not understand I didn’t even know photoshop for the first THREE YEARS is was in this league. I started in photoshop and sigs just like everyone else did so don’t act and list everything people need to learn because I did it too. I’ve gone through EVERYTHING a new person in graphics has gone through and through tougher periods where A.) nobody did graphics so nobody helped B.) when graphics grading WAS REALLY SHIT (ie: didn’t get graphics graded for Multiple MONTHS) and graders didn’t care about helping so the critique was nil if anything. And C.) graphics people that did comment were MUCH harsher and insulting when it came to criticism. People like Phil wouldn’t even get to second submissions cause attitudes were awful and so off putting.

Hell my two biggest graphics teachers were never in SHL because SHL was so shit graphic wise. What the Gfx depth is like now is fucking heaven compared to ANY other era of graphics in the SHL.

So don't you want the environment to be more encouraging then? I said in the original post that the heads have done a great job improving, this is a discussion on how we can get to a level that makes everyone happy. Stop treating my replies like a personal vendetta, I have nothing against you. You just frustrated me with your unwillingness to discuss what was originally said. I am trying to evoke constructive conversation.

So don’t try explain how people get better at graphics like I don’t know. You went through entire regiment of how someone new can get better at graphics as if I was someone that had no idea.

The environment IS great in the graphics community. One pissy guy retiring cause grading was behind and you seem to think the graphics community is so toxic and uninviting to new members. You say you have no vendetta and as do I towards you, however you keep replying and “graphic-splain” what’s it’s like as new person in the BEST environment the SHL graphic community has ever been. I explained how it was and how this is amazing right now.

Want to have a constructive conversation? Don’t start by replying to me like I don’t know what I’m talking about.
