You're really impressed with yourself over this? And you're pretending
to be a professional?
There's no doubt you have a basic competence with Photoshop, but that's
a very, very small part of actually being a good designer.
Someone with an actual sense of aesthetics understands that good design
is not about being able to achieve neat effects in Photoshop. It's about
having a sense of layout and space, about knowing how to choose the
right fonts and colors to achieve a specific feel, about understanding
how to convey information effectively.
Sometimes this means using lots of bright colors, visually busy design,
gimmicky fonts, etc. Sometimes it means using a lot of white space, a
small number of colors, and crisp, clear text. Sometimes it means
sticking to commonly used layout conventions. Sometimes it means
inventing new things.
Your work, and your comments in various threads in this group, make it
clear you have no understanding of design whatsoever. You're an amateur
who knows how to use some of the tools of a real designer. And as long
as you continue to misunderstand what design is about, that's all you'll
ever be.
