sounds like a funny topic, but I always thought when looking at porn sites (something I do dailly :P) but who designs all that shit? Just wondered if any QBNers on here have ever done any design for pron sites or magazines etc and is it good money?

Yes, I have. Never going in my portfolio, and never saying what it was, but yes, the money was amazing, and that's why I did it.

I bet its distracting tracing off big dicks for vector masks and the like.

One of the guys I went to college with ended up going and working for an internet porn company.
He liked his porn so was obviously well excited about getting into the business lol.It might seem like a good job when you first start, getting to go through loads of porn jpegs n gifs, optimising them for web or doing banner adverts for the porn sites .... but after a while it'd be like any other job and you'd get just as pissed off.
"feck sake, i've got to go in on monday and optimise 600 images from that porn photoshoot over the weekend" :(
kinda thing

- Technically, if someone sent you pics of their kids birthday party, you wouldn't want that mixing with the porn...TheBlueOne

I know some people who do and they can't get out of it. It is a huge black mark on your resume. No one will touch you.
- Why am I drippings with goo?waterhouse
- seriously? maybe do the work but with a pseudonymhitsuji
- ghostbusters quote!hitsuji
- I have had people send me their books with porn crap in it. Emails straight to trash,morilla
- yeah i get that. i'd have a pornfolio and portfolio and keep them seperated...hitsuji
- ...although the pages in one might not be seperable :Phitsuji
- I worked at a porno company and went on to work at akqa.uberdesigner
- could you not pixellate that line or at least cover it with a black rectangle?honest

haha... it could possibly make you immune to porn!? like porn overload. imagine working at home, every 5 minutes you'd be thinking... "i'll just knock off a quick one", only to look down and see that you've worn your penis down to a little blistered stump

One of my friend's first job was photoshop retouching for a hardcore magazine. He had to look at penises all day long.
- "had to" :Dbaseline_shift
- that is a drawback. but i think seeing too much cock would cement the fact you dont like themhitsuji
- LOOK AT IT!!rounce

Your portfolio would be one huge "spank bank"

I was offered a gig redesigning some porn sites in the uk when much younger.... very nearly went for it. double the money, thought it best to concentrate on my portfolio instead.
I'd have a crack now... geddit

ummm that's a nice grid layout you did with the taint collages and I like how you did different color overlay treatments for the bukkake scene.

get in the Crowdsourcing crowd and have an orgy!!!!

going straight to hell.

I was asked if I could design one when I was 17 but had to turn it down as you can't even work on the sites until you're 18 (in the UK anyway).

I Interviewed a designer here for an entry level designer position. The only thing in his portfolio were screenshots of porn sites he'd done. Most were extremely hard core. There is definitely a certain aesthetic that succeeds in porn site design. In a few more years he'll be a master, I'm sure.
He didn't get the job.

i did too. it was horrible to look at all these pictures... ewwwwww.... you can't believe what the average male likes to climb on :(
- do average males visit ManInsideDonkey.com often?baseline_shift

yeah, I can imagine if the piece you are most proud on your portfolio is some illustration that goes around some guy's cock.
With what face do you show that to your interviewer if he is not in the porn industry?
Oh yeah, check this binder I did for donkey's master 7th, her vagina lips are embossed and see the urine drip? that is silkscreened
- the guy I interviewed came in with a "there's no way I'm getting this" attitude. Almost made me want to hire him. Then I saw the dick designs...zenmasterfoo
