We have many designers on these forums, how would you rate them based on their recent work, feel free to skip over someone if you don't think you've seen enough from them to decide. Please rate from 0 to 10, with 0 being a complete beginner, and 10 being someone who could probably get a job working on this stuff (Like Shiz, if you remember him).

Hmmm, sorry if I'm a bit tough on you, but it is just my personal opinion, so don't think too much of it, And this is all relative based on these forums, mind.

Beef, I actually had a job dealing with graphics earlier this year

I wouldn't call any of us "designers" the only person on these forums who was actually a professional designer was indeed Shiz. But I don't think tags are a good indication anyway, I wouldn't give Shiz a 10 based on his tags, but based on his car wraps...

Yeah. Anyway.

Don't worry, I've got a major Art of the Month piece I made for another site and couple more sigs I should make sometime soon coming up. In fact, I don't think I've even ever posted any actual work of mine except my current sig.

This is very intresting...I was gonna ask the same question myself...

I'm quite pleased with my 4/5, seeing as I started 'graphicsing' in March ish...
