Does "Professional Layout/Banner Maker" mean something else?

  <span style="font-size:75"><span style="font-weight:bold">Dark is right, half of the 'Professional' graphics here aren't. That doesn't mean that some aren't though. I think people confuse professional with well-done. <br><br>Boz, you make layouts!? You should enter my layout making contest. ^^</span></span>

  Like Kersa said, i think many people think that "professional" and "well done" mean the same thing. So, yeah, as long as you went to school to study graphic design, your stuff can be professional.

  Well, if it says 'professional' they have a higher chance of people stopping to look at it. It catches your eye, and makes you think they must have something good to offer. Its a good way over advertising, though most circumstances it's false advertising =/

  All good things must come to an end. All endings will begin new good things.

Here I'd advertise my banners as "Banners for sale" and someone else says "professional" and it's a picture with text on paint. :roll:

  Boz makes lovely layouts :P <br><br>I personally think that if you have not persued your education in it, it is not a profession, therefore not professional.
