    Why do people who make really good simfiles have others make their graphics?

    I've noticed alot that very talented simfile makers have others make their graphics for them...and i wondered why? They can't expand their ability in graphics making? It's not hard to make a banner or background...and to some people those don't matter, just the song and steps do. So can anyone tell me why?

      No, some people just don't have a good photo editing program/ dont know how to use one well.

        That's like asking Mozart why he never considered taking up oil painting.

            Nope. Some people try and fail miserably.

            It is for someone who isn't talented or to make a good one.

            Banners are pretty much a requirement because it's practically the only thing that can distinguish scores.

              1: They don't have access to a photo editing program such as photoshop.
              2: They don't have much experience in the area and prefer to ask a friend who wouldn't mind doing it, it's quicker. What's wrong with that?

                Are you serious? Because I have a difficult time taking you serious.

                Creating simfiles and creating graphic design are two totally different things and require a different set of skills.

                  Some of us suck at using Photoshop.

                    If I made graphics, they would look like crap. Seriously. They would not be pretty to look at. Zaghurim's graphics are very pretty to look at, so I take him up as my indentured servant.

                    Creating neat backgrounds and such take Photoshop skills, which I have no talent for, and do not feel like putting in the time to acquire.

                      If you're a good simfiler but bad with graphics work, then you're basically in a no-win situation, since you'll have one of three options:

                      - You don't make graphics at all and get yelled at for it.
                      - You make ****ty graphics and get made fun of for it.
                      - You ask someone else to make you graphics and most of the time they take at least a week to get back to you with anything concrete.

                      I usually go the route of #2, because I tire of waiting on others very quickly.
                      I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                        They're just wanting help with making graphics because they don't know, or are not good enough to. That's all.

                              I made most of my simfiles completely. Made the songs, steps, AND the graphics.

                              But nobody played them.

                              Especially not Have a Seizure.

                              =\
                              So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

                              In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

                              So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
                              And I write the blog for their website.

                              Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
