The BlackHat Fish of Web/Graphic Design

I’m rarely impressed when it comes to graphic and logo design, but this time it’s different. Now i know what a lot of people have been saying about this young girl, they’re saying;

So what’s the deal, she’s 16years old, and into design, who cares?

The design community care, people who are still passionate about what they do care. This girl, at 16 years old is not only designing logos at a professional level, she’s also doing everything in her power to spread the word among other teenagers, that if they want, they can do it too. So she’s not only bettering herself in all this but trying to help others, at just 16.  That’s the deal.

The girl is obviously mature for her age, although at times she may act like she’s just 16, which is ok, because she is! Her designs speak for themselves, mastering such raw talent at such a young age, she has received praise from some of the top logo designers online, she’s starting to get feature slots on many sites and all this in the past couple days when she designed and developed her first site Julie Kapral and her Teen Design Blog.

 What a fake contest. I was named the winner of the below fake contest and then not awarded anything, I send the contest starter a PM with my paypal ID and nothing. Some forum that is, they don’t have anyway of protecting us designers, I think it’s appalling. If they’re to hold a contest forum they should add the necessary software, take payment from end user, when winner is selected forward it to winner, take a slice of the pie, that’s how professionals do it. Not like this fake contest forum at V7N.

Recently I joined the V7N Forums. I got to know old friends and met a few new ones in a very short period of time, the community there is by far one of the friendliest I have ever been on. Although it lacks a professional presence and those with knowledge on there could probably be counted on one hand, it’s looking bright as mods and admins are gearing towards a change, a big change I have been told.

I have been reading up on some topics, although few in number some are rather informative, and then I ran into a new contest. It was a T-Shirt Design Contest and after reading the topic starters post, I decided to join and test peoples art abilities on these forums. My entry did not take time to finish and the concept pretty much hit me in the face, it was not at all hard or thought provoking, rather simple, it’s message too was direct and to the point.

The contest is still open and I’m not sure if i’ll win, so far there has been 4 or 5 design entries including mine with a few people working on it still, so who knows. I do hope I win as the prize is $300, and even though to some that’s not a lot, for me it’s a good month worth of living.

Wish me luck.
