Tutorial Techniques For The Aspiring Graphic Artist
There are no secrets on the web anymore. Information is at our fingertips and for the most part it is all publicly accessible. Truth in point, I have personally learned a majority of my skills as a graphic artist and web developer through freely available information on the web. I did not attend an exclusive Arts College; in fact I went to Seattle University, a Jesuite Institution known for its Humanities, Engineering, Nursing and Law. I did have an amazing education. I graduated with a BA in Visual Arts in the scope of traditional fine art techniques: figure drawing, arcylic painting, sculpture, and print. My art professors were fountains of knowledge and theories with real world experience. This collegiate scope and fine art background is the foundation for my work today. Unfortunately, as a creative artist in the field of graphic design and web development my university studies did not fully apply. Enter the self paced world of trial and error. Along the way to perfecting web design skills I found numerous avenues of guidence including friends, books and of course the internet.
I have been an active participant in the design tutorial community for many years now. One area I thought could use some special attention was the development of skills needed to be a successful creative graphic artist. I have decided to launch Designer-Tutorials.com a collective of graphic arts and web design tutorials focusing on the areas of Offline Print Media, Prepress Production, Logo Design, Photography Techniques, Website Design, Website Development, Motion Graphics and New Media. This website is my personal contribution to the arts community aimed at teaching fellow artists or aspiring artists the skills and techniques being practiced by today’s industry professionals.
Although I may add a few tutorials here and there, my goal is to set up a community platform where fellow artists can submit quality design related tutorial content and their work will be featured on the website. If you have a tutorial that you would like to submit, please register and upload your content. In order to keep only high quality and relative tutorials, we will have a human review of the submissions before posting the content to our website. Thank you in advance for your participation and enjoy the ride!
