As of this writing our Go Media User Showcase has 345 entries and 207 members. Here are a couple pieces that I thought put some of the items in Go Media’s Arsenal to good use.
A well made poster that appears to have learned something from our Gigposter tutorial.

Good use of Watercolors and splatters. More work was done than just stamping splatters everywhere. Nice job.
Utilizzo Design

Great job you two. Everyone visit their flickr page to see more of their work! And keep posting your designs and you could potentially get showcased!

People often wonder who is writing these blog entries and who is making all this cool art. Well, we’ve decided to do a little meet and greet - virtually. Our lovely in-house photographer Diann decided to snap some photos of all of us so you can see our smiling (or grimacing) faces!
Each member of Go Media will have their own separate post with their photos, some artwork they’ve created if applicable, and a mini bio to go along with it. You can even ask this person questions in the comments if you want. I think this will be a fun way for our readers to get an idea of who makes up the team at Go Media.
To get things started, I’ll post a group photo (click to enlarge):

So be on the lookout too meet each one of us!

Because we’re looking to expand our staff here, I want to offer some key advice to anyone applying. IT IS ALL ABOUT PRESENTATION!! Some of these things are common sense, but you’d be surprised how many people don’t think about what they are doing when applying for a job. If anyone has committed any of the career crimes that I’m going to mention, don’t feel bad. I’ve made some of these same mistakes myself and learning from them helped me out immensely.

This is a new shirt design that I did for some merch for a fairly popular screamy post-hardcore band. It was accepted and the design might actually see the cotton threads of a comfy shirt one day. Let’s hope that the printer is able to print it as it is in the mockup and not just crop it and center it on the shirt.
By the way, you can “love” or “comment” on this design if you want over at emptees.com - which by the way the community is really expanding lots of great designers post there. Rob Dobi, Horsebites, ATK Studios, Chris Rushing, etc. Lots of em. So if you’re a t-shirt designer or just a fan of this stuff in general, join and participate. Make the community even better!
