I’m trying to be a better artist, but I feel like I’m all alone. I work at a print shop but we mostly use templates, so the creativity level is a little on the low side. I don’t really have any formal training in graphic arts and everything I do know was learned by going through the help files on CorelDRAW. Now, I know the program better than anyone here, but I still feel like there would be more to learn from poeple actually in the industry. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

I really would like to see this movie in July, but so far, I am reading a lot of “rip-off” remarks in the forums.
For those who are older, do you remember watching a movie called Dreamscape with Dennis Quaid back in 1984 or 85. This movie is from the book called The Dream Master by Roger J. Zelanzy (he won the Nebula award for this book back in 1965 or 66).
The movie was that the government or a private company was training certain people how utilize and manipulate their dreams by having lucid dreams and with complete training, were hired as dream assassins to go into top crucial government dreams and kill them or change history. It was pretty cool but raw for the 1980s.
I do hope this movie is better than the Cell or compare to The Dream of a LifeTime, and more on the line of Dark City.
I do understand that people are influenced by other books and movies throughout the past 60 years. Well, that is how we learn and get our ideas from and incorporate them into the mainstream of modern creativity. Let’s face it, without Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there probably would have never been the Twilight movies.
Oh yes…..
To keep this on a professional level and without name calling, I am very interested in watching this movie, but do not want to waste my time. Chris Nolan is a great visual director, and I loved the Dark Night…..so basically if you understood my question, I wanted to know your views on the “movie’s” promos/trailers, not what you perceived of my emotions or attitude towards the movie (because I have none — I have not seen the movie yet).
What are your views and what do you think? Thanks guys!!!! 
I watched Karate Kid 3 and I thought the acting was good, the story plot was ok but the movie just took forever to get into anything, then when they get into his training there’s a lack of detail or focus on specifics like, moves he learns and how he learns it. He caught on too fast, there wasn’t any real “training” experience, then near the end it’s all just packed together and rushed with no closure on anything.
Then I watched Legion, and it’s the same thing. Slow start, not much detail in explaining things, not much creativity in story line or characters then suddenly the end comes and boom it’s over, no closure.
Movies used to have content and substance, now they’re all getting plain while holding a lot of potential that’s never used. Why is this?
