I joined this group because I looked at your bookmarks Ian. I thought I was a little low brow because I lack formal education and I saw some great stuff.Today I took a break from work to make some post and come here and get something (education/inspiration). That article on making your own logo while his heart is in the right place is bad information. A logo is a craft like anything else. There are a ton of good resources out there for logo design. The reason most people don't make a good logo is because they don't know how to make a logo. You don't assume that you are good at calligraphy because you are an artist. Then I get a wordpress logo. Is it that good of a logo? I usually see wallpaper and think no way. I am not here for wallpaper. I think all wallpaper should go in a post like I made a post for tutorials. If you do post a wallpaper you better have a great reason and type that reason out. I found diigo looking for self education/design and fell in love with it. I think this is a great way to educate each other. If you want to post that kind of stuff join deviant art. Ian I think you should let people join but not post so they can learn and don't feel pressured to contribute. Or have them post anime and manga, wallpaper, photoshopstuff, etc. up here where I know to avoid it.
