Guild Facts
My name is Dante and I created this guild knowing people out in Gaia need a place to chill and be with a community with the same interest. I tried to find a guild that looked like a great spot to get to know other Graphic Artists. I found many, but they were all filled with spammers or were completely dead. With that in mind, out came "The Graphic Makers". Once the guild was officially made on June 17, 2007, I needed help to get it going. That's when the original crew was created- Seiorai, Kaleta, Shangrilicious, Gummibear Fizz, Synthroxide, Gloss and Curls, and cookiemun5tr. For a few weeks we set up the forums and rules, then started to send out the invitations. Users started to join in large amounts which was overwhelming and very exciting. Many forums started and I thought we could have a "battle" type thing with other Graphic Guilds to make things fun. I found two guilds that were willing to do some sort of contest between our guilds. Sadly both lost touch with me and it never happened. During December the guild started a "Graphic Secret Santa". Many members joined and were secretly paired with another. The user had to make a graphic for their partner and send it around Christmas time. It was very successful and showed how much the guild community came together. In winter '09 TGM did another Graphic Secret Santa and it was as successful as the first one. In winter '10 I forgot the Secret Santa, so instead of waiting the next winter we moved it to Secret Cupid. Over 30 guild members participated. The guild was going through a slow patch for a while in spring '08, but came back full force in the fall. I was stupid and forgot to throw some sort of bash for the one year anniversary.... I still regret it. Sorry for those who wanted one. The crew have been working hard to make this a better place for people to feel safe and wanted. We thank you members for coming to TGM and helping out each other become stronger in the graphic arts. Myself and the crew hope this guild can stay strong on Gaia for a long time, and so far it has because of you members that make it possible!

About Me
Hello! My name is Dante, and I've been on Gaia for 5 1/2 years, more than half of that time running this fabulous guild! I graduated from the Art Institutes for web design, and am currently working as an intern at a design agency.

Programs I Use (CS5 versions)
{x} Photoshop
{x} InDesign
{x} Illustrator
{x} Flash
{x} CSS Edit
{x} TextMate

Five random facts about Dante:
{x} My first Hollywood crush was Tommy the green and white ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I want to be the Pink Ranger because Tommy is my soul mate
{x} I'm a Manga fan and have over 2,000 dollars worth of Manga books that I now look at and feel nauseous... I could of used that money to go to Japan! emo
{x} I got this username because I love the game Devil May Cry, and Dante is the main character.
{x} I'm going to the Art Institute for Web Design and Interactive Media
{x} My favorite food is strawberry cheesecake, but the taste is so strong and rich so I can never finish it. ;~;

I'm here for;
• Questions (with anything)
• Guild Graphics
• Guild Concerns/Problems
• Listening to you
• Introducing/Helping to run contests and events
• Random chit-chat


Status;
Online.

PM's;
Open. I love random chats, however, I'd much rather be quoted in a forum for a conversation than PM's.

Things I use;
• Gimp 2.6
• Desktop computer (made by a friend)
• Google Chrome
• Centered Gaia


Time Capsule;
• A big 6 to resemble joining Gaia in '06, and being part of the community for 6 years. (This account is my second.)
• A baby picture to show that I've only been designing for a year now, maybe. I still have a lot to learn!


Let's talk about me;
Hello! You can call me Cupcake or Lala. I'm a senior in high school, and I will most likely pursue a major in genetics at some college in Chicago (hopefully Uchicago). I have 6 years of experience playing the violin, but my last director ruined the class for me, so I don't play much anymore. I'm almost always on the computer because I have no actual life, but I guess that might change in a few months. I'm in the Rocky Mountains, so keep that in mind if you ever need to talk to me. As for graphic design, I am mostly self-taught, with a few helpful tips from friends along the way. I've learned a lot on my own, but I'll keep practicing. Please don't be afraid to talk to me, I only nibble.

Extra;
• I run a shop called R[evol]ution.
• Rock music is my lover.
• I love to roleplay, but usually not in large groups.
• Sierra Kusterbeck is my idol.
• My boyfriend and I have been dating long distance for over 4 years.
• If I'm not on Gaia, it's safe to assume I'm on Xbox Live, PC gaming, or reading.
• I'm excited to be here! (:

Talk to me for:


❶ : woooQuestions regarding guild matters (e.g. contests, ideas, complains, etc)
❷ : woooGraphic help (Programs I use will be listed below)
❸ : woooHow to earn gold
❹ : woooChit Chat
❺ : woooResources


About me:

I'm Asian. I stay in a little island called Singapore. (If you know where that is, you're cool.)

I've been doing graphic design since 5 years ago I think. Was really crazy about it then, spending more time on graphics than on my studies. That was also the time where I picked up most of my skills and foundations in graphic design. I was from a harsh forum where they criticized your work and threw you to the dogs if you weren't up to mark.

Now, I'm just doing graphics for fun ( and also to earn ggold) since I'm in university and I can't pursue graphic design as much as I want to. I am also trying to learn illustrator while I have free time. :3

I'm generally a nice person to talk to, but I emphasize alot on good english. Please be literate when you're trying to ask for help because I can't spend half my PMs trying to get you to explain what you actually mean.

Stuff I use:

wooo I generally work with a Macbook Pro, but I am familiar with Windows OS as well.
woooPhotoshop CS5. Most things can be done with older versions.. so i can help with other versions.
wooo Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet. Some of the stuff I do is greatly aided by the use of a tablet. :3
wooo Nikon D7000 DSLR is what I use to take photos. I also have a compact for convenience.

Where you can find me (on gaia):

woooI normally lurk in my shop here. This is where my main income comes from.
wooo I also play zOMG but im a newb at it. If you play it too, we could play together maybe?
wooo I like art. So I can be found lurking in art forums trying to get art for my avi. :3
woooBeen wanting to RP for sometime, but am not doing so for the moment due to time constraints.
