LP/Tag

[Elektrik]

*A tag/sig is no more difficult than a LP. You can use the same techniques you do in an LP that you can in a sig/tag. The only difference is size. LP's are only an excuse for private communities to accept a person who sucks at sigs/tags.


I agree 100% with that...

A sig you have to condense your artistic ability into only a sig, which can be hard. LP's are a bigger canvas...so you have like a huge amount of space to work with, a sig is so small. I think they are equal.

I hate it when people say LP's are harder because its bigger.

Thoughts?

But they are harder to fill up room

sometimes you dont have to fill up the space though, like just have something spectacularly cool in a corner that leaves the rest of the room like, woah.

most of the time i think it's harder to do LP's, you need more detail and just more of everything in general. Anyway everyone can have their own opinion on it.

Well the effort required is certainly more..
And imo making a decent LP is much harder than making a decent tag due to the time required.. More thought is needed to make use of the larger canvas size..
For me anyway =p

I think Lps are harder
1. LPs take thought tags can be random and still look decent.
2. Space is an issue in LPs you need to fill up alot more.
3. The sames effects onsis can look differnt on LPS due to size.

Most lps aren't made with "renders" from games, movies etc. Personally, I think anything made with one doesn't require as much effort. Most signatures use "renders" (just fyi, I hate that term, only using it so everybody understands). Because it's so small, the way it always works in a signature that uses one is you take the image and try to put some stuff around it that blends in. In a lp, you are typically making something from nothing. Even if you use a stock photo and do a manipulation (a real one mind you, not making adjustments to the image), you're still taking an idea and then creating it. When people do signatures, they aren't doing that. They aren't creating/showing an idea, they are simply making a background for the "render" that looks pretty and doesn't look out of place.

The real purpose of a signature, the original reason that people made them in the first place, was so that one could show a glimpse of his or her work. And so that when people are browsing the forums, they can quickly identify who is who. They weren't made to be the art, they were made to show samples of an artist's art.

I've used this analogy before, but I'm going to use it again because I think it helps to illustrate the point. Only doing signatures is like being a traditional painter who signs the corners of blank canvases. You are signing so people can identify you and the work, but there's no work there.

If you take away forums completely, there's no purpose for signatures at all. Regular art pieces however, will still have their purpose. That purpose being to create and express a thought, feeling, or idea.

LP = Large Piece

Large canvas takes more effort, time, and skill than your average signature. <insert Jack quote here>.
