just a quick note on that site and using other peoples stock artwork.

Ive worked in Graphic Design for over 7 years and my advice would be;
Why not spend the time doing your own artwork as when you find that you cant use other peoples work without paying for it, the skills you learnt whilst creating your own work will help you in the long run.

also, how many others have used that stock imagery? you'll never have a unique design.

As a designer you surely cannot be satisfied using other artists stock art yourself? Sharing credit for the finished peice feels like defeating the point of my hard work in the first place personally. I have been known to use minor elements such as blood drips etc but nothing of substantial impact to an over all image, i.e. wings, etc... I try to use my own original work.

I build my own original stock peices and I'm more than happy to admit I've used them more than once but as TinFish rightly pointed out I have developed new skills in addition to the fact that the time it has taken to build them has paid for itself later on when saving time on other briefs.

I'm more of an illustrator focusing on comic art etc rather than a graphics designer however as someone who does enjoy producing logos and working for clients as well as someone who is weeks away from starting a design course after many years of putting it off and getting by self taught I will say I have the greatest respect for some of the designers here and one in particular has inspired me to further my education so for anyone interested in this topic you really couldnt go any further for inspiration.

Oh and because its show and tell... ;)

but to be honest on a black jersey i think it looks ok... we aint obviously a ''Serious'' team.. we just play for a bit of fun and a laff and cause we LOVE paintball...obviously... we like to try and do well... but what can i say... we rarely do haha! so all we want is something that looks pretty:)

buttt... ok.. when i have the time ill make a simplar one.. just to see what it looks like!:)

i aint finished the design of the jersey yet, or the finished logo... aint had the timeee.. but when i have ill put it up.. it aint the first logo ive done..
