I've already put in searches for this online and all I keep finding is things relating to "Banner Space Selling" which is 'not' what I'm talking about... I love creating things in Photoshop, and thought it would be a nice idea to offer my talent (even if it's not the best) of creating Banner's for a small fee (which I don't yet know what it'd be...Maybe 5 bucks a Banner...I think thats fair) I can create about any banner requested, from Anime, to Video Games, to something simple...But usually I use pictures I find online, simple colored backgrounds like pure green, vortex backgrounds, whatever I can find...But I figure this wouldn't be Legal....How do I know what I can do thats legal in this? Because I'd be charging for the work and time put into cutting pictures out, resizing them, all of that, not the actual materials used. But I still don't know if 'that' is legal... So what can people tell me of this? I want to make Banner's for people, whatever I can and sell them for maybe 5 bucks a Banner, depending what I create and how long it takes me to make it based on the time and work I would need to put into each Banner... If what I've named is indeed not Legal...Then does anyone have any idea's as to what I can do that is Legal for this Talent? Thank you in advance, ~E.S.~ PS: I saw a similar topic to this in the same forum, so hopefully this isn't posted in the wrong place...Which is something I'm good at
Selling someone else's work is illegal, even if you modify it. If you do know how to use Photoshop, then do the banners from scratch.
Yeah I figured that...But like I said, I wasn't sure because of what I'm charging for. But thus why I started this topic, as a research for it. Because actual Google searches have got me nowhere... I would...But honestly I don't have talent of any kind in the way of drawing, a steady hand, or anything like that. I'm not kidding when I say this: I can't draw a straight line or a circle, or any actual shape (in a program or on paper) to save my life...And I've tried many times to change this...And gotten no where... So based on that....What can I do that's "From scratch" that doesn't require what I've named that I can't do?
So your "talent" consists solely of cropping and resizing images? That will get you nowhere. My advice is learn to do something that a 5 year old can't do. Despite what the advertisements say, making money online isn't that easy.
Thanks for nothing KingOfStupidity...Insult me, I insult you... Go ahead and attack me back if you wish, but know now, I have no more reason to read your...'tips'
You said yourself you have no other talent and all you can do is crop and resize. My tip was that you learn to do something useful which is good advice. I'm not gonna give you false hope and say that you can do anything and everything. If you want that, ask your parents. They'll tell you you can even be president. Most people know how to crop and resize and in fact it takes longer to ask someone to resize an image for you than to do it yourself. This is why this isn't a lucrative business, regardless of what you're charging. Here's another tip which you probably won't read because I'm mean: when you ask for advice, listen to what others have to say, even if you don't like the cold truth. It's for the best.
