Why do we feel like there are do's and donts for design..
mainly for the use of brushes within digital design
i mean.. if i download a c4d brush set.. and use it within my design.. is that cheating? i wouldnt do it. because i want to have the satisfaction of making my own.. but if i cant.. would that be cheating..
same thing goes for splatter brushes.. the infamous splatter brush.. and brush strokes.. debris and grunge brushes.. we would have to get the grunge from an image anyway.. so is that cheating?

tell me what you think..

Just like you said , INNOVATE , DONT IMITATE !!

If we use some resources , its NOT a crime .. Resources are made to be used for others to add them in their designs !

Sometimes when we use some tutorials to make a piece , people say : Thats lame , how could you , dude thats not what I expected from you etc (I have seen such comments on someone's design) .. Let him try a tut !!
I guess stock images are also resources , well if you think resources have a low reputation , then stop using stock images as well ... Make your own stocks then !

Urrgh ! RANT

haha precisely saibz! i only use grime and splatter brushes.. because i cant be bothered to make a splat.. for everytime i want to make a piece.. i dont have the time of the resources.. i'd rather get a set of brushes.. and mix it up a bit! haha.. but yh.. we need to use them as ADDITIONS to our pieces.. not a pretty little things to add when we think the design is boring..

rant over.. im gna start designing haha! thanks my man
