    well.... let's face it, you're scratching out a few bucks for a twelve pack, or MAYBE (and that's a big fucking maybe) actually earning a mediocre living in some shit hole apartment while you drive a beat up avacado green Gremlin.

        This has been a reality for a long long time. Some people just refuse to live in it.

            The fact that talented and skilled people tend to have more success isn't exactly limited to designing porn sites.

              Hmm an Avacodo green gremlin may be worth something now. The last year they were built was in 78. That would make one at least 28 years old.

                true....

                but "porn designers" seem to have an inate ability to not grasp the concept. I find it pathetic, yet humorous at the same time.

                  Adult design is way underpriced compared to mainstream. And not enough clientele for most to survive and make big money. That and most programs that would drop a lot on of $$$ design just hire their own designers. Even most of the big design companies outsource all their designers.

                    Semi-true.

                    Mainstream is lacking in intelligence in a lot of areas.
                    Programs hiring their own is true to some extent, but no one puts their eggs in one basket. There's always room to squeeze in if you got your shit together.

                    Most don't.

                      Yeah, and then there are the people that would rather outsource design to some 3rd world country because they will do it dirt cheap. There is a reason that professionals charge more...

                                  The problem I find with a lot of adult graphic designers is they create the same damn shit over and over. They utilize all the same concepts like a bunch of mindless clones. All the sites look the same to me these days.

                                  Its graphic incest.

                                    thats very true. there's like over 100 bangus style site designs with the video clips and few pics on the main page for each model. the design maybe design but the style and layout has been done one two many times.

That and most programs that would drop a lot on of $$$ design just hire their own designers. Even most of the big design companies outsource all their designers.
                                                                            A lot of designers don't know what they are doing thought... if you want real designs you gotta pay the price.

Not saying it's not possible ... hell, at one point back in 2003, I was seemingly moving towards that myself before a major business fall. But the fact is, this is a forum. I could say Bill Gates is my Uncle. Yet no one will know if I'm telling the truth or not.

                                                                                  One last thing ... how, in God's good name, can you say you are that rich and earning SOOO much more than everyone else, if you have an attitude like that? Most clients would have dumped you by now ... let's see your stuff... it must be exceptional for them to take your attitude too ;) :D

I am not sure if that's possible though. Not with 1:1 traffic correlation at least (since any given program has tons of differing traffic sources). There's been some interesting attempts with A/B testing but those are mostly text driven tweaks and mostly mainstream.

                                                                                            When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                                                            When feelings go, theres suicide.

I am not sure if that's possible though. Not with 1:1 traffic correlation at least (since any given program has tons of differing traffic sources). There's been some interesting attempts with A/B testing but those are mostly text driven tweaks and mostly mainstream.
