    Posted By: ainslieI'm not sure about the hobbyist / designers comment. Just who do you consider hobbyist or designer? To me, if you submit a template you are a designer. Some may be better than others but that's life. Nobody needs a BA to make templates!

    That's not what i was saying. I did not say hobbyists are not designers. There are designers here that do it as a hobby and designers here that do it for a living. Those that do it for a living are the ones that are more likely to put the extra effort in because they need the return on their invested time.

    I disagree. I see professional designers spit out lots of very ordinary blog designs purely to use OD as a means to show sponsored links and be seen. I see hobbyists put in enormous efforts as they want to learn and show off their new found skills for critique.

    Ok, I get what you are saying, but I'm not sure that this is a place for "professionals" however good there designs. I do not see that professionals need to submit here. If they need to be here they should abide by the spirit of this site.

    I would rather have a group of talented "hobbyists" any day than a top designer.

    Posted By: perthmetroYou don't visit here much do you Jen. There's a guy called Wolfgang, he's a priest and would you believe a 'hobbyist'. He released a series of designs called Multiflex and they are all PD and they are some of the most downloaded designs in the world. They are nothing less than jaw dropping. Yours are 'nice' but i wouldn't pay for them, I've seen better PD ones here by non designers.

    Don't underestimate the hobbyist.

    I actually visit here everyday. Just because I do not say much and haven't submitted under this account lately does not mean I am not here. I am actually <a href="http://www.opendesigns.o
