This forum is a scam... Nik, have you read conversation between davidearner and me... are you aware that hes stealing designs and just tracing them in illustrator? Or you dont care either is that design stolen?
A staff member should manage this section with more attention. It should be more rules, and PM posting should be punished and the members should be banned. You all complain that your design is stolen, but most of you post your copied versions via PMs. That's the real reason you post on private. Also, a staff member should punish copied designs, and there won't be this kind of arguments like "they copy my design, I'm a genius, that's why I post via PM" A transparent contest will avoid this kind of discussions Best regards, Cosmin
I know for this winning design that theres no chance he could make coupon like that... just searchig where he copied it....
Agree. That's what I'm also pointing out. If a staff member can do this, there might not be copied designs. I have experienced several occasions that coming up with a unique design and later the concept is altered by others and taking the winning away from the original designer. If it can be added as a rule, then there would be no problem. Unless why do we design something of our own and let others to win. Or else the designers has to convince the thread owners not to accept PM. I've seen you as a nice designer and winning contests too. I have no problem with you and quite agree with the facts you have pointed out.
Lol, sounds like greek? There's a software called Adobe Illustrator. Use it. Draw a rectangle. Apply a Warp to curve it, then create it out line. Then give a minus outline to the created shape. So it will give you the path to make the dashed lines of the coupon. Before making it outlined, convert that to a dashed line which stays as "Basic". So that's it. Then do the basics, apply gradients and fonts to the design. There are tools in Illustrator to do these. These are not magic. Don't complain everywhere that I copy these from some other place.
Im convinced that you dont know basics thats why im browsing and trying to find where you stole... case your attempts in many contests were awful at best... especially when it comes to creating simple but effective ideas... thats why you focus on tracing and gradients...
And just compare mine and yours design, yes its different style but what you did is like 1000 logos you can find on google images... no innovation, nothing but shiny cartoonish obvious symbolism... and at the end your the one whos sending pm.... hilarious!
I already made proof of you stealing ribon from shutterstock and used it on T.shirt design contest... So cut the c... off.
