How long to design a kit?

Just interested in how long it takes to design a kit as mentioned. I think as designers we need to start making people more aware of how long it takes to design something - whether a freebie or a full sized kit. Many think we just make a paper by colour and texture and bingo there it is. We know it's not that easy to co-ordinate a complete kit and I think it's about time people know it.

Perhaps if more people understood how much time and effort goes into producing a freebie - maybe we might get more comments in the download areas and comment area on our blogs. In order to do this, we also need to keep track of how much time we spend on it ourselfs. We sit at the computer and work away, and before you know it - for me anyway - midnight just about every night.

Here is our chance to keep track and record in this poll - just how long it takes.

Thanks for joining this survey.

Kit Size - 30 - 50 MB - EG. 10 papers & 40 elements - most of them different. Not simple recolouring of the same ribbon.

Common courtesy.

Please follow the new rule. Leave a Freebie, Leave a Comment.

This website is grounded in the idea of the building up of each others self-worth. The different places a person can rate or leave comments on the work of another person at this website is endless. Since the middle of this year, now there are over 10,700 freebie items added to this website. Thats alot!!! All because of each one of you designers!

The idea behind leaving comments behind for the next designer is to give positive feedback they can use to become better at what they love. Do you love glitter? Did a certain freebie from a designer you don't know yet catch your eye? Take a second to leave a comment on her freebie and let them know what you liked about it. Try to be descriptive and not just write.. I liked your freebie today. Tell her why, was it the composition, the color, or the techniques. This information is crucial to each one of us designers as we try to evolve in our craft.

This is a terrific way to practice what we preach. Do we not ask the same from our downloaders? Please leave a message if you download this freebie? YES . It is also common courtesy here. If you are leaving your freebie for others to see here.

So, now on please follow this unwritten rule, called Leave a Freebie, Leave a Comment. And this means, when you leave a freebie, you also leave a comment in the forum or on another persons freebie. Thank you for your cooperation. Im looking forward to seeing all the new comments as Im sure you will love receiving them yourselves.
