I'm very sorry, your application does not meet our standards. Denied.===========================================================================
Normal requests are now completed. We will no longer accept unless you are truly amazing with design; as we are becoming more crowded it forces us to become more strict with our exceptions.
I know its not my call, but I may be able to help. Your portfolio was very small and repetitive, two very bad things Once you product a broader range of stuff, you may be able to come back. Not my call, just my personal opinion...
Well, the truth can hurt but I did ask so thank you. If anyone could tell me how I can improve, I will and even more. I'm here to learn, not to bicker and fight about it. Thank you Mobyguy and I'll fix things according to your opinion. If anyone wants to state their opinions so be it.

What sort of work have you done in the past: T-shirt designing/selling, had a shop open on this forum a very long time ago, done some general personal stuff, and currently volunteer as the head of the GFX department at my community's church.

*Experience with:Paint.net
*Example(s):My latest photo I made, it is a cat from scratch, nothing to look at, just my imagination. Please note this isnt HD, all my work is done in HD but this I sadly forgot to do in HD :(.
*What sort of work have you done in the past: I had my GFX shop here a few months ago, then went vacent on the forums. I can do youtube stuff and lots of freehand, non template things.
*Why should you be in StimulatingGFX?: I think I should be on this team for my desire to use GFX as my job soon in High School, Im taking classes next year on GFX design and it would be amazing to learn from more than just my teacher, but from the community. I want to put my best work forwards toward this goal of mine and this is the first step.

Sorry mate, but you didnt make the cut.
i dont want you to feel bad or anything, but i have a couple of reasons why:
-expand your skills (you only have experience with paint.net)
we were looking for people with experience with photoshop, After effects, etc.
-we are looking for people with exceptional art skills, yours were lacking
-
one thing i have learned as a graphic designer is to NEVER GIVE UP. if you keep practising, you will get better, and better, but for now.. your not ready.

Thanks so much for your opinions, and they never will put me down, but just set new goals for me :). The one thing I don't want to do is expand my skills to different things like photoshop. There, at the moment, are not many famous paint.net GFX users on youtube, and I want to defy the ods (you know, in a few yrs.). Thanks again and I will be making a GFX shop on the forums! Check it out somtime ;).
*What sort of work have you done in the past:I made a few youtube channels for my friends. Also I had a minecraft skin shop.
*Why should you be in StimulatingGFX?: I think I should be in because I'm a nice person and i'm experienced with YouTube and it community. Also I would like to join so i could learn new things.

Here at StimulatingGFX, we are looking for people that specialize in still images made with the creative suite.
Your stuff is quite cool, however it isnt really what were looking for.
Im sorry, you didnt make the cut.
*Skype: (I'll PM you if I'm accepted, as it is my actual name.)
*Experience with: Gimp, Photoshop CS5.1. I use Photoshop Elements at home because I'm a cheap *******, but I know most of the workarounds.
*Example(s): Two of My Most Recent:
Older designs:
*What sort of work have you done in the past: At first, I was obsessed with photography. I pleaded with my dad to lend me some money to buy PS Elements, and after a while, I became fairly proficient with it. Eventually, photography and photo manipulation drew me in to the realm of graphics design, and here I am. I'm not a professional, but someday, I might get there. I'm currently doing the graphics for a game called "Dust". Pixel art is not my strong point, but here is a link to an older version, hosted on my friend's website: http://www.aaronnech.com/Test
*Why should you be in StimulatingGFX?: Mainly for the experience. Graphics design is something I would like to study in college. With the motivation of being part of an actual group, I will constantly get better.
