hehe you guys have some good points, and let me say the following:
To everyone that responded, I consider myself to be a somewhat capable person, and I know how to use the various adobe suites. The reason I am seeking someone elses talents is because I want to focus on the creation of the video and do not want to take the time to go through countless tutorials learning various tricks at this time, and I know damn well that there's a slew of people out there that are way better than me at creating logos/banners/webpages. And as every other person out there, I want all things that represent me to the public to look good =P so I am trying to find someone who can do that to a much greater degree than I.
And specifically:
My_Nemesis - thanks, I'll try to get a hold of you as soon as I can
jbone - I am no good at making original graphics, I can however put together existing things quite nicely =P for AMV's and what not, I'll let you know when the video is out so you can judge for yourself (and maybe it will suck =( hehe).
Stoic - thanks for the links to the various programs, and I appreciate that you took the time to point me in the right direction. However, I have the latest photoshop and illustrator installed on my system, and I know a little bit about how to use both, but like I said earlier, I want to really focus on the AMV and not on learning the different environments. You might say it doesn't take that long, but I demand the highest quality from my work, and I think it would take a long time before I can come up with something I think is good. There are better people out there at it than me, that have that extra talent for these things that I can never pick up from any tutorial. As far as the negative experiences you've had working with others, I can't justify any of that; but, I can tell you that I've had 4 years of expreiences working with groups of anywhere between 5-10 people developing databases and accomodating for work flow so I know a little bit about how to treat other people and make the best use of their abilities, and I have a tendency to try to get things done right the first time. So in your example, I would have revised the original till it was perfectly suited to the application or it was dropped all together. I would never e-mail someone every week asking for a change... cause if that's the case, the original is not up to par.
AbsoulteDestiny - thanks for the tip, I'll check out that program so I can recommend it to others if it is good and they cannot get a copy of photoshop
