My advice is that you choose a name that carries a universal feel. Reason being is that you may find yourself crossing over into conservative clients and may shout yourself in the foot with a name like, say, “Grim & Sick Designs". To be honest, for my self the money is with conservative clients. I like doing covers for fun or when I want to. But for many music cats, budget, payment, and professionalism run short. It can be a head ache. I know some business clients who will pay $500 for a flyer that will take 4 hours of work, if that. Choose the name you want, however, be wise and leave yourself open for cats in suits. And still have fun holding down the music scene.

dude!! seriously "5th Element Media" is so sick. Now get Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker to be your spokes people, do a couple commercials and your set! You're guaranteed to blow up like "WHOA"!!

or maybe you should actually learn how to do graphics first, then maybe learn a little about business, and networking, and presentation...... awww fuck it. Why am I still posting....

Don't get me wrong...in no way is Flash bad. It's on how it's done. Me personally, I like Flash based sites that are reasonable, rather than the proverbial "Look ya'll, my shit can move!" A nice example of using Flash where needed, rather than everywhere, is KB Homes . In fact, I'm finishing a site were the client wanted heavy graphics and no animation (sample: Conscient

LOL, What are you talkin about I DO own it, but whateva........


Holla

Trademarked? I didn't think so? So what make it's yours?
Any clown on here could go trademark it right now and "sell it to you." [...LOL stops] Grow up!

Seriously, as a friend though . . . . slow down man. Way you're talking is like you got Geffen and Sony fighting over you as art director. You're not doing anything anybody else hasn't done, and not even up to par at that, despite what you're momma tells you. Those 2 covers you posted are horrible, but hey, as long as you're proud . . . .

The reason you get so much flack, is no-one comes around with their head so big as you do. When you post, it's like you've gotta hype it, to sell it. It's obnoxious, but whateva . . . . .

I mean it is what it is pimp! But lets just say, Im doin my thing, and I would expect hatred from a dude who's whole career is wraped around doin graphics for a couple of whack ass FORMER No-Limit Artist...and thier tired ass products but hey, as long as its good for you. As far as the name Sure Shot Graphix, Little do you know Im a business man first, BA In Business as a matter of fact so Guess What I do Own the name! No need for a trademark as thier is really no need for any small business to trademark thier name.

And for the other thing, Yea ya fuckin right my head is big, I been doin this shit for 9 years man, and I have reached hieghts I never thought possble a few years ago, so to me these cats that talk all this shit that aint really doin shit aint about shit! So Imma show my ass! I mean you can say what you want but theres a reason why alot of the top bay cats (as well as others nation wide) is turnin to me for they shit, and i doubt its because my shit is "Horrible" but what ever you say cuz Ill tell you whats not horrible and thats the checks I get for this shit......So tha LOL dont stop pimpin, and I aint hypin it to sell it, Its already been Sold...................................Be Easy Maint 1ne!

-- WTF are you talking about? and you assume this, why? Like I said before, and I'll speak for myself, well because I was speaking for myself, "What do you know about fellow posters on here anyway". Since your to ignorant to assume, I explain, about 1% of the stuff I've done in the past 3 years has made it to this forum (that's bout 1 out of 100, so you don't have to think). The company website is over 2 years outdated. I've been pretty busy and don't have time to update it. No need to at the time anyway. The No Limit guys were wack and I stopped accomodating them at first conflict with payment (they have a bad rep.). And that's when I started to realize there's more money to be made than with Rap Covers.

As far as the name Sure Shot Graphix, Little do you know Im a business man first, BA In Business as a matter of fact

-- Is that where they taught you how to refer to everyone as "nigga"

so Guess What I do Own the name! No need for a trademark as thier is really no need for any small business to trademark thier name.

-- In other words, you don't own it? Big company can form, trademark and shut you down.

And for the other thing, Yea ya fuckin right my head is big, I been doin this shit for 9 years man,

-- Sad . . . but in 9 years you never learned a little "Modesty"?

and I have reached hieghts I never thought possble a few years ago,

-- Anythings possible buddy, just keep studying what other trend setting designers are kicking out and you'll catch up!

so to me these cats that talk all this shit that aint really doin shit aint about shit!

-- My point exactly

So Imma show my ass!

-- Whip it out! So all the little cats can kiss it?

I mean you can say what you want but theres a reason why alot of the top bay cats (as well as others nation wide) is turnin to me for they shit, and i doubt its because my shit is "Horrible" but what ever you say cuz Ill tell you whats not horrible and thats the checks I get for this shit......So tha LOL dont stop pimpin, and I aint hypin it to sell it, Its already been Sold...................................

-- I understand it's a done deal, trust me, you made it VERY clear! I meant you have to sell "the fact that it's any good"

I critique art by the final product, not the reputation of the subject.
If politics is more important to you, so be it, but it doesn't improve your design abilities. Keep climbing that ladder of illusion . . . . .

Be Easy Maint 1ne!
and I'm not really hatin' but if you didn't come around flopping your cock around so much, no one would get poked in the eye!

I mean i dont wanna kepp goin back and forth on this, but in response. Your right I dont know everything about fellow posters on here as they dont really know shit about me either, I didnt come on here disrespectin no-one, I do hype the shit I do when I post on these boards, Thats what they are for to me is to hype MY PRODUCT, IE: Advertisement. But cats was on some bull shit so I reply with bullshit, Im not the one to put down anybodys work If I dont like It I reply and say so but not in a disrespectful way, But when cats get to disrespectin me I return the favor.

And you are right thier is alot of money outside of rap and Im with you on that about 1% of my shit hits these boards and My page is about as aoutdated I understand that. I respect your work truely but I cant repect you talkin ish for no obvious ereason other then hatred. Lean!
