My first project to review is... The Graphic Vault! I thought this would be the prefect project to review first because I know alot of you are looking for graphic designers to prepare for things like the Karma Fashion Week and TTT Fashion Week.
The owner is Missceaaria, though she is joined with 6 other graphic artists including the ever so talented Nika and the owner of Tidal swimwear, sparklewand12 (aka that one girl who thinks microsoft paint is the new photoshop elements).

What?
The Vault is a place where graphic artists can share their work and compare their work to their peers products on the same blog. I think its a pretty good idea (if you ask me), kodos to missceaaris for thinking of this idea and then famewhoring it in my guestbook a couple weeks ago LOL.
When?
The Graphic Vault has been around for about three months now and is living on the scarce number of only 40 followers. But they have a handful of media partners including Ghandoora The Boss blog and Outrage Factory.
Side-Comments?
I love the blog from head to toe when it comes to layout, formatting and etc., but when it comes to the actual graphics it can get distracting. On the blog everyone is at different skills levels, ranging from the next ForeverGorgeous to the photoshop level of this kid (see image below).
Okay, maybe not as bad as that kid. But alot of them seem to be improving over time. Although it would be boring if all of them did their graphics the same way, at the same level. I also love how some of them just practice for fun, so they ask their viewers to apply as a model so they can use your medoll to practice.

hha, and i thought 40 followers was good, i guess i was wrong LOL.
Thanks though!
This blog is such a good idea. It's nice to see different people's styles put head to head. It feels very communal in that sense.
Also,
40 followers is doing pretty well, actually!

Nikia's Graphic is Amazing! ;D
That's a really cool idea! I like the whole collaborative thing; people get to sharpen their skills and learn from others, not to mention the chance to show what they can do. Great post :D
@sakutaro and missceaaria, you're both right. 4o followers is not bad at all. But I see the blog having wayy more than that.
every Blog Starts Small, ^.^
But yes, its a great concept, hope it'll get a couple hundred soon
The blog is great. I hate half off the run of the mill graphics blogs, yet this one really endures. None of you people took the time to follow it, so with this new publicity post, I hope she gets more of the deserved followers.
This blog deserves all the recognition possible.
It's such an awesome idea. :3
love it! :-)
Wow! I love Nika's graphic! Amazing:)
I really like the idea of "The Graphic Vault. I actually find it hillarious to have blog where you can see a lot of people work!
The graphics are amazing.
sparklewand is fucking talentless whore lul
Seems like a great project with very talented designers!!!!
*claps*
my feet hurt
I think Nika's the best on that website. But they're all really good graphic designers.
i like twinkies-callie
me too y'all!!
The first one is a total rip off of a lady gaga picture.
Oh my glob, a ton of new writers were hired and nobody has posted in 3 days.
I think everyone's like, too scared to post or something. And what happened to Bruno and that MaryKate girl?
Sakutaro's right. I remember hearing that it's better for the new writers to post often than have one excellent post once every month.
To the last anon, I made the graphic using a Gaga pose since Chris wanted the exact pose and everything..I wouldn't really call it a rip off as pretty much all sd graphics are inspired by real life photos.
OMGGGGG PSG IS SO BOORRRIIINNNGGG!!!!!!!
