Joining our crew is as easy as expressing your interest
in Graphic Design and Design in general.
I require no examples of your work,
only a brief statement sent to me by PM stating:

1. Your Interest in Graphics:
2. Experience in Graphics:
3. Willingness to Learn:
4. Willingness to Contribute to Clan Projects:

*NOTE: remember to PM your application to me (lilsparks). Don’t post it in this thread.

The Midnight Designers will use their Graphic Skills
as a group to complete Miniature Projects.
These projects can be as simple as creating Tag walls
to showcase in the Lilycove Art Museum, to redesigning threads.


[Proposed Projects]

+Operation Novus
As a Group we would take a disorganized
or messy clan and then overhaul it to make it
presentable and appealing. Looking for volunteers.

+Operation Adopt a Signature
As a group we would open up a temporary
signature pick up thread where a handful of users
could receive custom signatures from our group

+Operation Signature Showcase
As a group we would release a "Wall"
containing the tags and signatures of
members in our group to showcase to the forum

Wish you could join this group but don’t consider yourself a graphic designer?
The Program:
Gimp
Click On:
Download GIMP 2.6.11 – Installer for Windows XP SP2 or later

This is a great program and free to use. Once you download it try a few tutorials and join our group to get advice from the experts!

I don't get this:

And the Alpha Beta Omega under the Crew section... @.@

 

[NerdSparks]

Alpha: Leader (A)
Beta: Co-Leader (B)
Omega: Standard (C)

And I just gave a history of all the previous Midnight Designers. Starting with their name, significance of it, and the big names involved. Kind of an honorary type thing, hence why I referred to it as the Legend (of the Club).

 

[Syn_]

Ohh.. I see now...

EDIT:

How are we supposed to do this?

''+Operation Novus
As a Group we would take a disorganized
or messy clan and then overhaul it to make it
presentable and appealing. Looking for volunteers.''

I thought only the person only who made the thread can edit the first post..

 

[NerdSparks]

Sorry for the slight inactivity I had to complete some things before I got this started.

We have our first member and a second member on the way, and I'll now start my open recruitment. Any help from members is greatly appreciated, hopefully we can build up some steam!

 

[Rock Wrecker]

Hey lilsparks and FAX, I'm completely new to graphics and would like to learn how to use GIMP to make good banners.

 

[Syn_]

Hey.. Its good to see more people interested in this kind of things.. Well.. I don't use GIMP but I'm sure there are many other people out there who will help you.. Well.. I'm downloading GIMP as well.. xD

[Rock Wrecker]

I think the point is to ask the leader if they want more banners/ art on the front post and then PM it to them. I won't have any art for a while, just because I'm just messing around with GIMP right now to kinda learn how to use it.

 

[NerdSparks]

@FatalAeroX: Sorry I hadn't seen your question, but I would ask permission of a clan to let us do so. Hopefully they say yes, and if not on to the next. We'd most likely bribe them with custom signatures though.

@RockWrecker: I believe I sent you a PM on how to get started so I hope your following that.

Alright now that I've found myself a Co-Leader, I'm ready to actively start this clan up (as soon as I find 2 more members, I think I need at least 5...). That Co-Leader is a former partner of mine named SuperSleuth. I'm sure they'll enjoy a warm welcome to the team!

 

[Spammy]

I'll be sending my application in. ^_^

SuperSleuth, lilsparks, and I? Together again?! We're gettin' the band back together! Lol, just like old times. :3

Also: Hi, I'm back.

 

[Syn_]

That makes 1 more before we start... Nice.. But just letting you guys know.. I won't be making anything because the laptop I'm using is so slow that when I open PS, it freezes... -__-'

 

[SuperSleuth]

0.o ... SPM3! I didn't know you were still here
lol it is just like old times

also, I'm working on a render project of tcg cards, a lot of them. I'll be updating my gallery with them in a couple of days so if anyone wants any tcg cards rendered just lmk and I'll add it to my to do list.

 

[Spammy]

I was wondering if we had some sort of group resource dump where I could put/take some C4Ds and renders. I think we used to have a photobucket?

EDIT: Is lilsparks away or something? He has been replying to my PMs or the thread. :/

 

[Syn_]

There was a photobucket account fr the old group... But it only had renders..

 

[Spammy]

Hmm. Maybe we could make another just for C4Ds?

 

[Syn_]

I think we could use the same account but make a new album for the C4Ds so there is only 1 account..

 

[Spammy]

Yeah, if we hit the bandwidth limit I guess it's not big deal. We can just make another account.

 

[NerdSparks]

Sorry about that I've been slightly distracted by something. But with this new wave of interest and members we can start this thing off right.

First though I'm more interested in what you guys want to do first, and since I see the interest in resource gathering I'll gladly start an Official Photobucket that we can might available to the public.

In other news, by tomorrow (since I might be away for a large portion of today) I should have a resource pack for you all. I'm going to hunt tonight so that I can have a quality assortment for you all by tomorrow.

You all met SuperSleuth and SPM3, two old friends of mine, and they are going to play intricate parts of this new Midnight Designer. I choose them as leaders for this clan for their availability and interest. I'm sure they will do well in this position. I actually may change my Co-Leader to whomever is most available, but for now this will be fine.

EDIT: Welcome to another member: Elite Stride. I'm sure he'll feel welcomed here, and I know he'll have the opportunity to learn a lot.

With that in mind to all members who joined this group to learn graphics, me and Spm3 are available as you need when we are here. I have a Skype to be easily reached that I will give to anyone who wants to keep in as much touch as possible with me (if anyone already has one I'll gladly add them).
