gfx discussion boards ?

[paulemann]

been posting for quite a while at this
really flowing community (spotleid.de) but
some corporate deal made it stagnate and eventually nobody posted
there anymore. well, enough of that.
do you guys know of any boards including all that gfx
stuff, illustrator and ps? been searching desperately,
deviantart is way too overcrowded ...

Here you go:

http://www.illustratortechniques.com/forum/
http://www.layersmagazine.com/forum/
http://www.steeldolphin-forums.com/

This one you have to apply for. They are a tuff group but they have some awesome graphic/web/coders/product design/photographer people around: http://www.theroot42.org/homepage

These two are mainly for photography:

http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/
http://photocamel.com/forum/

Here are a couple after I did a quick google search. I haven't used these so I can't say if they are good or not:

http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/
http://www.productdesignforums.com/
http://www.webforumz.com/
http://forum.howdesign.com/

That should get you started.

thanks dude,
applied for tr42.org several years ago, no luck.
sad it seems to be the only really active community ...
just had a look at the guy who runs this site,
judging by his work this elite thing has some huge egos involved,
well whoever needs it.

The guy who runs it has a ton of good stuff. But yes there are some ego's. But then again where do you go in the design community that doesn't.

Send me a pm if you are still interested in trying to get in.
