Can anyone kindly post some book page templates?  I'm working on a children's book of my own and I'm going to need them soon. So if anyone has a few free ones they like to share, I would be very grateful.
Thanks!

Illustration - General / regarding older Adobe software.
« on: August 30, 2021, 22:38 »
Those who use older software, should we be concerned?
Found this thread conversation intriguing and concerning.

Sample post Aug 28, 2021"Also, expect your perpectual software to stop running sometime soon because Apple or Microsoft will change the system and it will no longer run. Plan for subscriptions."

Thoughts?

General Stock Discussion / Paypal's latest policy updates.
« on: August 13, 2021, 22:34 »
Just got an email from PayPal stating the latest policy changes.
Well looks like they're going to start charging for inactive accounts starting some time in November as one of their latest policies. For us Canadians its going to be around 20 dollars. Not happy!  >:(  Every bit I work hard for and it all counts. I don't need some money hungry dirty monkey paws stealing my money.  >:(

Anyways anger and frustration aside ::), do you know if I could just log in now and again and that would solve that issue or do I have to take some other possible drastic action?

Thank you for any reply.

Illustration - General / regarding Behance
« on: April 17, 2020, 15:16 »
Only recently heard about Behance and decided to do a bit of research on the site. Apparently its been around for awhile but I need some more info.

What are your over all thoughts on the site?

I have heard that the account is free,  but is this indefinite or for a limited time?
Also are there restriction of the type of imagery? Say only digital or is all excepted even illustrations made with traditional mediums?
As for customization, can I have my own layout with categories besides just project categories?
Is this a stand alone portfolio or is this attached to a job board?

Any or all questions answered would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much.  😊👍

Illustration - General / Illustration sales?
« on: April 09, 2019, 15:40 »
Here's a question that's been on my mind lately. Have you noticed declining sales on illustrations at your favorite MS sites? I see lots of photos being sold and uploaded but not really illustration images.

So what's your thoughts?

Illustration - General / Is it TM?
« on: November 10, 2018, 00:04 »
I worked on a few new vector images relating to the barber shop industry and I was wondering if the word Barbersal would be flagged as TM or copyright if I placed it in as a key word?

Please note it has already passed inspection at AS. Keywords and all.  :)

Off Topic / curious about Teeporium
« on: December 11, 2017, 00:12 »
I'm a little curious about this tee shirt place called Teeporium.

Basically you provide your graphic and if your Canadian you get excepted, they sell your work and supposedly you get some cash.

Has any one tried this place or has any one tried these other tee shirt places for your designs?
Are they any good in terms of payment, do they treat you right?
Is it worth it?  :)

Off Topic / In your face contract design
« on: October 05, 2017, 22:38 »
http://designtaxi.com/news/393907/This-Design-Firm-s-Bold-Honest-Jargon-Free-Contract-Is-Simply-Brilliant/

Though I share this pretty interesting way a designer made a custom bold contract design and business card.
I wonder how many of you would be brave enough to design like this. But I guess a well established person would be unafraid to do this.
What do you think?  :D

Over all its pretty boring looking but the boldness of the words might make up for it.

Illustration - General / Yet another Email scam
« on: August 08, 2017, 23:06 »
Yup I got one of these scams in the mail geared towards illustrators and book illustrators.  They ask you to pay a fee in order to show case your work in a book. A legit company would only ask if its alright for a few of your high quality images to be featured in a book.
The company is called Crooks Press Publishing of all things.  ::)

« on: March 22, 2016, 22:10 »
Locked out of my Twitter account. Very frustrated. Been waiting for over a week to resolved this since I don't have or use a cell phone.  >:( Still waiting for the techies to get back to me. Yeah I go there for some entertainment est but I also use it to advertise my latest various offerings of artwork.
I wish there was some alternatives to using a cell number to get a simple unlock code.  ::) Gurr.
Sigh..........  :(
So if any one knows of anything like an alternative to the use of a cell phone, it would be very much appreciated.  :-\
Thanks.
