Any place for free content worth working with?
 

I'm getting my roommate to start designing full page ads and tours for practice as he's kickass in photoshop and has alot of talent. I can see him doing it quite well but i need to get him some content to practice with at first and build a lil portfolio. I don't know if he's allowed to use any free content he finds on affiliate progs and all, but something a lil more original and higher quality would be nice.

We will have our free sets up in a day or two. The first set will be of cameron. They are hi quality and the girls are not beasts, like most of the other free sets.

Please email me... or have him email me. [email protected]

see my sig, we have hella free content, as well as hosted galleries =)

Thanks all
I just need to kick his ass in gear so he does it i mean he has a fuckload of talent and is currently working for a computer game company and quitting to go back to school. He wants a side job so i suggested it and he's interested.

The peeps offering their free content in this thread, are you allowing webmasters to create their own tours and banners from it if they are promoting your program? In other words editing and slicing it?

You took the words right outta my mouth

Dildozer,

If your bud is just trying to get some practice I've seen sets at zipcontent as cheap as two bucks. Worth checking out.

Also I'm sure some webmasters would be willing to let him work with licensed content on their own domains in exchange for banners and small tours. This way he could get some legit practice and build his portfolio...

Just a thought.... or two...

LD:thumbsup

Thanks
maybe i could let's say get him to do a couple different tours for webmasters with their content for a very small sum. I don't think he'd be willing to not get paid at all for this stuff though...

Suggestion..

build a portfolio anyway you can at first..
even if you charge cheap prices to begin with..

No portfolio = No business
Mo portfolio = Mo business

Ya that's what i'm telling him. He's been offering to do some graphics for me but i don't need any for now. He doesn't know shit about the biz and i'm trying to teach him the little i know about it.
I guess i can ask him to do a few byot stuff for me for his practice.

Also how do graph designers get paid usually? I saw threads of GD's not being paid so i take it a contract is in order and getting part in advance is standard.

Building a tour to turn on a surfer requires a little talent in Photoshop a lot of talent in porno.

He may impress other designers with his design skills, but will it get a surfer to click on a link to move forward or get his CC out?

Sorry to be negative, but if he just wants to practise on building tours/banners/etc. he can take the content from anywhere, but not show it. If he wants to build a portfolio to get works from then he needs to invest some money or some time.

I suggest he builds a portfolio, by working for webmasters free. They get to use his designs, he gets to use their content and have the design in his portfolio. If he wants to get free content and paid while he practises his porno skills, then I think he's out of luck. Cos if you have not noticed there are some GREAT designers with experience on this board.

Hungryman and Amp to name only two.

Well I love porno so i can give him some pointers. I know he needs some practice and was thinking of giving him some content i would buy for him to practice. I have alot of confidence in him and will let him design my stuff when i have some for him to do. Thanks for your insight tho i really appreciate it.
