I'm thinking of making a comm for graphics that are 100% pap pic free. Would there be interest in this ( Read more... )

So behind this. I am not a graphic artist at all...but whatever I can do to help, please let me know.

We have to stop consuming this crap. We are the ones that create the market for it, and we are the ones that can slowly change that dynamic.

lol, I love that you changed the name to glass-cutting cheekbones! I haven't seen the pics of the panel but you certainly made an impression on that reporter, pretty lady. It's so awesome to hear that beauty, brains, literacy, and twilight can all be matched together in the eyes of an outsider.

See, I feel a bit silly making this my cause, but it's something I feel I can do because as a graphic maker and consumer, I'm helping to fuel this drive for pictures. Rob is hounded on a daily basis because of the hype WE created and the demand WE are responsible for, and I don't want that on my back. If there's anything I can do to change it, I will.

Maybe it's a little change, but if I can take anyone away from supporting the paparazzi, that's something.

Maybe you can help me figure out a name for the comm. I'm thinking papfree_fandom or something like that, but it's got no ring to it.

I don't think you should feel silly. It's a great cause!

I totally love this idea! I'm trying to get into graphic making myself, and I feel horrible that we've hyped the fandom to the point that the paparazzi think we want them to be stalked and photographed constantly.

This is obviously something you feel strongly about, and should definitely pursue. Don't let anyone make you feel silly for feeling a certain way - especially about wanting to let even major celebrities have their privacy. Who knows? it could catch on, become the biggest comm of it's type, to the point that even the stars we're trying to protect find out about it. It has so much potential and will bring in such great graphics, and can truly go far.

I stand by you 100%, and will gladly join the comm when you make it. :)

If Rob would like to personally give me a kiss on the cheek for my efforts I would not object.

I think it could be a great thing though. I'm definitely going to make it as soon as I think up a name.

Oh, and for starting to get into graphics, I recommend adobe photoshop 7 or CS2 as a starting point and just check out tuts on icon_tutorial

Haha, I don't think ANYONE would object to a kiss from Rob ;D

It definitely could! I like the one you posted above, nostalkn_graphics...hmm. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Ooh thanks! I've dabbled with Photoshop a bit, but my computer crashed about a year ago so I lost the program and just never got around to gettomg it again...so I used Paint and Picnik for something I needed to make, haha. I'll definitely check out that comm once I get Photoshop again.
