Idea Day62: Graphic Designers, Open Up Your Works!
I love and hate sites of stock photos. I love them because they provide me with tons of materials/inspirations when I start a new graphic design project. I hate them because most photos out there are of .jpg/.gif/.png formats, which take me lots of time to edit.
If you have some experience using apps like photoshop, you must know as long as you want to edit your current WIP(work-in-process) files in the future, you have to save them in the .psd format. .psd is the standard file format of photoshop. Pics of these “raw” formats can be edited easily and flexibly, since they consist of original layers of objects. After you convert them into .jpg/.png/.gif formats, they will be permanently compacted, and no longer editable.
Hey, if you are a professional artist, how about share your .pdf files and earn some money from them?
In this “open-anything” age, I would like to propose an open-graphic-design platform where designers can exchange/trade their editable graphic files.
A PsdTube? -> pricing(bidding)/uploading/sharing/online editing/downloading etc.
The same concept can apply to a marketplace of Flash’s .fla files.
