[Sicka than aidZ]

some of my homies think its all just cuttin an pastin...meaning, the pics were taken by someone else
the fonts, backgrounds, all that shit u download to your art program...cats say all yalls basic,...in fact, they say like 75% of your shit is someone elses work, anyone can operate it....

i think hertz is an artist cuz he's got crazy visions, not just pics from album covers

It's all art man, once an image is placed in another context to change peoples perception of it you've gotta call it art IMO, just don'y necessarily make it good art.
Look at a lot of the modern installation art like Tracy Ermin's 'un-made bed', just looks like my bedroom the morning after my girlfriends been out on the razz'.
Some of that probably takes less thought than some of the shittest PS work, but it's still considered high brow art.

I think PS is kinda 'hip hop' just like an Akai MPC is, with 'artists' sampling images the same as 'artists' been doing with music right from the start.
As long as people always try and elevate what they're doing instead of finding one thing that works and flogging it to death, then it's all good IMO.

Thanks for the comment BTW, I might have to have I quote in my sig again.
Pz.

when an artist produces a piece of work, it doesn't matter if somebody doesn't like it. Sometimes, that's the point. Art often exists to provoke a reaction (particularly modern art - whatever that term means nowadays). The reaction is enough - it might be desirable for it to be positive, but it doesn't really matter either way. (I'm being over-general here, and I know it, but bear with me).

"Graphic design, however, is a branch of visual communication in which it is important that the message being communicated is received in the way that was intended. Graphic design is objective, while art is subjective. If a designer produces a sign to direct people to the right place in a building, it has to do the job. Its function is not open to interpretation. Either it works, or it doesn't, and if it doesn't it fails. The rest is decoration. Maybe that's where the art comes in, but if it affects the objective of the sign - it fails

Digital art is art created on a computer in digital (that is, binary) form. The term is usually reserved for art that has been non-trivially modifed by the computer; text data and raw audio and video recordings are not usually considered digital art, in themselves but can be part of a larger project, since the computer is merely the storage medium or tool which is used to create the work.

“Obviously there is an incredibly wide gray area which is why this vein of discussion is brought up so often.”

its not the program its what you do with it, its just a tool , if you wanna create a business card no if you wanna use a tablet and paint digitally yes, in between is grey, a photomanip maybe, a banner using other ppls work i would say no, if its yours and its done for its own sake basically

Deep thread, this is the best i seen ya make, sicka.. lol

Alot of that is true, I started of with cutting and pasting, sure, playing with blending,filters etc..... That's the way you learn to work with all the functions.
But lately I'm more getting into creating thins of my own by playing around with the pen tool, you realy can do magic with that silly thing.
Once you get the hang of the pen tool, you're on your way creating your OWN stuff.
You can't draw everything with the pen tool tho, well, u can maybe, but akes up lotsa work.
But you can draw your own images with pencil and paper, scan it, and then re-draw it with the pen tool.
I concidered Photoshop as an "editing" shortly after mastering the basics, and it's true, but you can create your own things with it tho.

Adobe Illustrator is more of creating software.
