Any graphic designers out there?

[KevinPutman]

I'll start off by saying, yes, I know this should go in The Creative corner,
but judging from the popularity of that forum (a whopping 3 topics) I thought this would be better discussed here.

I started photoshopping about 6 years ago, making forum signatures for a gaming community. I'm mostly self-taught, but did have a mentor teach me a few more advanced things. I would consider myself very skilled with the program, although I lack the creativity to be an actual designer,. (I was going to pursue a career in it).

Just wondering if anyone else on this site was a graphic designer, or aspiring to be one.
Thought we could get together in here, and share our work, maybe chat. ^-^

I'll post up a few of the more recent things I've done (I'm enjoying photo manips as of now) Feel free to C&C. I find many of the ideas and principles behind Graphic design are the same as those of Photography =p

I'm a contract graphic (& web) designer. Unfortunately I don't do a lot of overly creative photo manipulation or illustration these days, most brochures, ads, cards, catalogs - that sort of thing.

I love that second one laffels.

I always seem to be too lazy to do vector type work. lol =/
I should though, because it always comes out looking great.
