Is AlienQ a good designer?
 

I don't think I have ever seen any of his work. Does anyone have any links to his work or possibly a link to his portfolio?

This is not an attack thread, I'm just curious. AlienQ screams from a mountain top how good his designs are and being another designer, I want to see what I'm up against. No drama here, just curiousity.

check porndollars sites

my site was done by him... see sig

....graphics, conversions, usability? What are we talking about?

He's the only designer that I know who has never disclosed any information about his portfolio. I find this to be interesting.

AlienQ is a complete and competent designer with experience and knowledge of this industry not just photoshop. I've said it before, I'll say it again, you may find him to be goofy, you may not like him, but when it comes to design he knows what he is doing.

http://cutelucie.com/ is one he did I am pretty sure

General aesthetics.

and oh yeah, what he ^^^ said

does very good work :thumbsup

I think I'm one of the few people here that have no problems with Alien. I've had a few conversations with him via ICQ (it was probably 2 years ago since I last talked to him). He even duped my sig with his own pic chewing on something green.

I have just heard both stories regarding his artwork and I wanted to judge them for myself.

The design looks good, but the content rocks big time ! :thumbsup :thumbsup

did you contact him about viewing his portfolio? He never had a problem disclosing his portfolio when I've requested it. In fact he usually shows me his latest work, or whatever I request. if I like what I see I place an order, and he has a chance to give me his thoughts and ideas on how he would handle my project.

Like I said you may not like AlienQ gfy poster, hell he is not my favorite. But as a designer he is good.

HAha, still trying to figure out who ya are:)

None the less I am glad some people think my work is good.
I get alot of bad press, I admit it part of it is intentional, some of it I am trying to put in my 2 cents.

Sometimes I am being out right wicked, but above all my work does come first. GFY passes the time easier as I design. Design is not somthing you can just sit and stair at to piece together it takes quick sessions and stepping away for a sec then getting back into it.

Again thankies folks the support is really appreciated.

interesting.

PS: For those of ya that think I am overated...

Maybe I am, maybe I am not.
However I referr work to designers often.

Skilled guys that I admire as pros.

MachineGunKelly, Tylo are my mains and are people that are highly creative.

Tylo is quiet but he is a monster in creating great work.
MachineGunKelly is a seasoned designer most of ya should know who he is:)

Very mello, very kool.

Thanks man!! Very cool of you to think so highly of my work, It sucks that you get slammed so much around here. Some I see you just stirring the shit other times its trolls being dicks!! Your good peeps in my book, hope to visit Cali soon and hang with you and Ice!! Beers on me.

He just finished a big project for us and i just gave him a new one hit up abyss al or me and i will show you some of the stuff he did. Also thanks for the sweet biz cards you made they look awesome :thumbsup

He is designing three sites for us right now.
His customer service has been GREAT!

Even though I may have poked fun at alien and don't agree with his mentality, he is a pretty good designer ;)

Did I shock ya mark? ;)

Yeah interesting that he would require someone to speak with him about their interest in his product. So he has a op to sell the consumer.


interesting that a US based designer would do something to make sure he has not visible 2257 concerns.

yeah I agree it IS interesting to see someone take a different approach.

interesting.

No I have not contacted him about viewing his portfolio. That being said, as far as I can remember, anyone who has requested info about his portfolio on this forum has been told off. His reasoning for doing that is that he doesn't want to have his work to be copied. I perfectly understand that it would be a pain in the butt for any designer to see their work being stolen. But to go from there to not show what you're capable of to anyone because of that concern is a pretty big jump.

I love all of AlienQ's work, it's nice stuff that converts.

I find it funny how people attack him because is work isn't as flashy as others, but I know that his shit sells and the flashy work just looks pretty..

Based from the statement and opinions above...
I think he's a good designer...

I think he's very good.

his shit seems to rock :)

In fairness, I think it's pretty common knowledge that you can view 90% of the Porndollar portfolio, there are people in this thread pointing you to his work. I also am pretty damn sure he had his hands in OhMobile in some shape or form. This topic comes up once a week. Be it from an interested party or a troll looking to stir up shit.


If you have asked to see his portfolio and he did not respond in a way you liked, My professional opinion is don't do business with him. I dont' think he is lacking for work, and I think many people forget, or don't bother to read and comprehend that GFY is treated as a playground. I'll grant you he acts like a crazy asshole sometimes, but business is business bullshit is bullshit.

If memory serves didn't you have a long pissing match with him at one point? I know others flying similar sigs as yourself have had a run in or two with him on this board.

Insult Alien the GFY poster, you will have much more success. AlienQ the designer is a different story.

Thats my last thought on the subject. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea.

if he gets enough biz without having to show a portfolio then all the more power to him, people that hire him to do designs obviously know what they are going to get before hand.. i dont think he's hurting biz wise :upsidedow

He's an ok designer.. just an absolute tool, which is a shame.
Also you can't really judge these designers by the shitty $300 tours they're forced to do.

I like the guy.

never heard of him :)

Yes, very good work.

I'm not suggesting that he's lacking work. But I do find it interesting that a designer will not put his portfolio up for show when most do just the opposite in an attempt to drum up business.

Yes, I did have a long pissing match with him at one point. But it's not I that he told off when asked on this board about his portfolio. Even with all the shit that has been stirred between Alien and I, I have, at one point, considered talking to him about some work. The fact that a portfolio is not available and the response that he gave when someone else asked about it on this board made me change my mind pretty quick.

HighOnAcid has been at this business for a long time and I think it's fair to say that he's seen the work of most every designer worth a dime in this business. Thinking that he hasn't seen any of Alien's work, a designer who claims to be one of the best in this business, is something I find curious.

Did you personally ask him to see it?

I think he may not care to show it. I asked him today to do a project for me and he declined, mostly because he is too busy. If you are a designer hooked with a few programs, you do not have much time.

Curious to see his work ?

Alien may design ok, but he has his head up his ass over the .xxx deal.

Yes, from what I have seen, he does good work.
