Well a lot of people are busy with school like i am. But i normally get on everyday and comment on some work and ect.

I understand all of that but its just so sad compared to what it used to be Like I tried on Wednesday to get an avatar and signature but I still haven't had anyone reply :/

yeah i know what you are saying man. This whole gfx community on this site and on YouTube is just dying..its pretty sad.

I don't know how to put this but uh you know how everybody used to love FaZe because they were one of the best trickshotting clans back in the day but now today you get into a search and destroy lobby on any cod and you at least have 1 FaZe wannabe
Back to GFX, it is just everybody is doing it now and it gets boring after a while if you are a GFX artist because you start being repetitive after a couple of designs

Yeah I know exactly what you mean man! It just sucks that you cant even get the smallest of gfx done because the forums are so dead D:

i could get it done for you just not right now i have to hook a clan up for matching logos

Everyones getting busier nowadays because of school ect, but im sure someone will be out there who would love to still make graphics

As a graphic designer myself and someone that has been watching this forum for about 2 years, and been joined just under a year, iv see exactly what you mean.

As a graphic designer motivation goes up and down quite a lot. Iv been doing graphics for about 4 years now. I also take it at A-level in college. Im one of the lucky few that have kept my motivation up by diversifying. So like the guy above said, people find it repetitive, well i always just tryed something new if i got bored.

To say that there are less designers is wrong completely! There are 10 times more designers than there were when i started. What has happened is the age has dropped. When i started the average age was about 14 years old and above. NOW i see quite a lot of 10 and even 9 year old starting GFX.
Because of this the standard of graphics has dropped significantly, Especially on this site.

There are plenty of designers but its harder to find designers that you believe to be up to standard. Which in turn for designers cause they arent getting the work, arnt motivated and so it just cycles. Which may explain the lack of shops open.

MozoArts pretty much sumed it up there, I was wrong when I said not as much, I meant there aren't much quality designers that do graphics for free.
