thnx. I will focus on that... but I will not gonna make my work so public, as I want to make it as self-satisfaction, after I realize the purpose of it. But, using Asian elements is a good thing for me, as to represent who I am although much not really into conventional stuff. Art appreciation? hmm.. i thought so.

Thanks for sharing your work.
What I observed from your website is, you seem like trying to fit in some kind of trend. There's no focus point of your strenght. You're trying to show you can do every trendy thing out there. it's not a bad idea but that shows you don't have your own direction. if you want to stand out you need to have a unique concept.Do what's not done.

may be you could post up your work over here and let us crit it.

yeah... i know hardwork doesn't mean good design. I have to email them and ask them what's wrong and what kind of quality they want. If they did not reply my email... I guess I just do what I have to do...

Soryy to hear about the rejection of your work. But we need to know, hardwork doesn't mean good design. I'm sure if your work is good, they'll surely say it's good but not giving excuses not to publish it. Perhaps you could ask them what's wrong with your design.

Thnx rasko4, that was truely awesome. I felt the same way cause I never get pissed of with NT Citizen either for crits or exchanging ideas, or giving their 2 cents..
You guys been giving me so much rational and reasonable opinion. I mean, I get more exposure for arts, creativity, career, all at one package here at NT.
I do hope hangin' here will make my skills, creativity increase.
Again...thnx for the support.
Cheers.'

you can never create another dreamless, that was THE best ever forum or whatever you wanna call it, it had The best people, The best crits, The funniest shit (08), The most genuine chaos, The most genuine userbase and will Always be the legend... other than that look at NT for the best forum because its the quickest/easiest to use and nothaving different sections means that sections like "technical' dont get ignored but for pure linkage look to pixelsurgeon for being the best because the guys are genuine and maintain a sense of humour - they post random shit aswell as design, they take it easy and its cool like that.

whoa... much respect from all of ya guys! all opinion make sense.
I mean, some of the reason i started this post is because I did submit some work at a design portal and they totally rejected my work and give some excuse of 'high and quality of work needed' ..something like that. So, I wonder, what kind of quality they want? I mean I did full research on Asian based culture elements for almost 4 month, come up with some different flavor and visual approach, been working real hard to give something unique and still disqualify. So that's why I ask NT citizen, what kind of quality they want, cause I'm not a pro, and I cannot do something like Joshua Davis or what Onyro did, it will take years to do work like that. I really admire their enthusiasm and creativity.
I'm not saying that my work really that unique, but I manage to stay far a bit from the stereotypes.. so what's wrong being unique rite?
Thanks for your opinion guys.

BTW, I don't understand the pornography part. Do you mean use porno as part of sucking people into a design portal ?
I don't see any porno here thou beside Transfatty half naked pic.

content.
but thats obvious?
- JazX0
well that's a funny question and I don't think there is a right or wrong answer, but you will need to have good design skills, back end integration using something like PHP, CFML or ASP or JSP tied in with either a MySQL or MS SQL DB for starters. Plus hosting concerns such as bandwidth and total space. :)

muidlatif, do you mean to be a design portal , or to be linked on one?
- backspace0
i think its all shite. i used to care alot about where i was being linked/respected from, but it's kinda pointless now. the whole spirit is kinda gone to be honest.
i miss uploading and kiiroi. what the fuck happened to christian? or dustin vannatter?
fuck i'm 21 and i'm already an old school bitter man, dammit

You don't open a car dealership on a street where there are 15 of them already. But hey, if you got 20% off - they'll come to you. Nameen?
Think different.™
You won't get other portals' visitors just because you got a nicer border around your news iframe, but if you have, let's say broads with boobs there - you will. Swap "broads with boobs" with YOUR idea and say it out loud to yourself 200 times. If it's still as good as you first thought, give it a shot.

that term 'famous' makes me very uncomfortable and reminds of crapness and cheesiness like the movie 'gigli'
if a design portal wants to gain fame and become famous like you say, then i'll avoid it for damn sure because it's being selfish focussing on becoming 'famous' rather than serving the community...etc etc..
famous?! pooohhfff...what ?!
- jk0b0
Too many design portals around anyway, if you wanna do the community a real favour you should find an existing one to contribute to instead. There are plenty of em that could need a little more attention (and/or content)

fresh content with regular updates
and do everything a little different and keep it interesting
oh and always keep it honest

thnx Jevad & Agent Lulu.
I get what you mean... but anyway, any more that me or we should know?
