Our forum is divided into 3 major parts, Community, Graphics and Premium.

Community

Graphic
This category gives a place to our Graphic Design School, which contains several howtos, tutorials, tips, tricks, walkthroughs, timelapses, resources submitted by our members.

What's more we have a Questions Area, where you can ask all the questions you bumped into during a design process. You can also find a Museum Boulevard here including the creations of our members, a Fan Sector showing off the artists worthy to follow and a Creative Arena where you can battle with your fellow mates!

Premium
Last but not least, this category is the ground of Graphic Requests where you can request art for free.
Apart from free requests you can find Workshops too, where our members are having their own shops and sell their talent.

We also have an Advertisement section, where you can show off your site to the community!

We are back! And we have a new theme!  

The most conspicuous difference is the color change. We chose a refreshing mint shade combined with gray to make an elegant impression. How do you like it?

Other notable changes:

---

>>> Slight logo revamp (used in smaller size it looks better than the previous one)

>>> Sticky navbar

>>> More emphasis on our mascot, Gibi. He's starred in the banner. 

>>> Staff list in the footer.

>>> New topic icons

>>> New post profile appearance (online, offline)

 

>>> New 'no avatar' avatar

The new theme could not have been done without 10spetter10, Rhino.Freak.
