Crews are made so people have a feeling of belonging. Honestly. What's cooler than being in a online crew? /sarcasm.
i think its fun bein in crews. i wasnt for like a year. then i joined one and met some nice people and had a good time. Also, crews have helped me get a lot better too, and for me its just an overall fun experience. i think commin home from a stressful day of class or work and takin a break for an hour or two to design with some friends is a good time. i spose you dont need the name or the thread in order to do that.. but that just makes it a part of something i guess.
I Agree Wit hMaking A Crew...but if your just joining its fun...i know im not the one to say as i havnt even been in one crew...yet still trying...i think its a great way to level your creativity and skill...along with meating peeps...and yes...crew creation fee is deffinantly pointless and unpleasant to pay, but again it levels out to many crews being created
group of people to share and help each other improve. and it is also just a place for some people to hang out and talk. its about the art, and its also just about having a good time. if you dont like crews, then fine. but if you do like them then go ahead and apply. dont bash crews because of your opinion or your rejection.
I'd say a Crew is make up of the members, I mean you can't just say you're in a Crew. It's GFX site and I don't think I'd want to see 1 hundred crews running around with like 2-3 members in each and they are ---- at Graphic Designing. I mean most of these Crews here have members who're excellent Graphic Designers. I also believe a Crew helps to distinguish you from the other members. I see no problem with a fee of any sort for making a Crew.
dumb and pointless, you want constructive criticism, then its called "signatures" section, not paying 1k creds to join a crew then posting it and what not then again its just my opinion
definition of a crew, taken from wikipedia; this pretty much explains everything that I had to say regarding the crew subject -_-
