I totally disargree Sheffield, I have posted many drawing asking for feedback and receiving both positive and negative and have used this feedback to enhance my drawing and ideas.
I would hate to think that this process was curtailed in any way, what would happen to Egg's great cartoons would that be used only in e-mail where no one could see it. This time I think you are of the wall on this one. Just because Gary and a few others ask for the sites opion on lets say their logo's would you really stop someone making both suggestions and giving more ideas or refining other logos to improve their layout. I think this is one of the most important aspects of this site and forum where no one is afraid to make comments and sugest improvements and even give through drawings ideas to better the drawing out od the goodness of their own heart. What would the moderators be left with but to make remarks about a submission. The mods would not be able to show mistakes and give the ideas where the artist should go.
Pease leave this alone and let the body of the forum make their own minds up whither to help or not. Do not let this forum devolve into a "nanny state" where people think before helping other people, this forum works well at the moment with people helping each other without consideration on what they are doing. One time I used one idea from this forum in my professional work, I think it was a "Celtic Knot" but before I used it I asked,and to my surprise this person supplied the XaraX doc. which was unsolicated and that doc i used with minor modificatios. Should I have sent the supplier of that doc a percentage of my fee for the percentage of the whole work if so then that percentage would have been about $3.
I find this site inceadable for its help, its critque, its plain speaking and most of all for its knowledge and i would hate to see it anyway cutailed.
I think this time Seffield you are "off the wall" with this posting.
Design is thinking made visual.
