As a digital graphic designer, the high demand for hand drawn illustrations is much more common in the graphic design forum and I'm sure it could help a lot of people, designer or customer, find more clients/designers more easily if it were separated like that.

EDIT: looking at feedback and other users' ideas i think it would be better to add separate tags for illustration or vector, and as Sentiinel suggested two tags would be a good idea as well.

Illustration would fall under the "Graphic Design" category, the same way a blue car would still fall under the "Cars" category.

What about a "Requesting/Offering/Shop Illustration/Vector" type prefix in that section?

actually that sounds like a good idea as well, might work better than mine seeing as people disagree with mine[DOUBLEPOST=1528409897][/DOUBLEPOST]

I understand your point but there aren't many dealerships that sell every kind of car. I'm sure car buyers and sellers would prefer that dealerships are usually filtered to certain kinds of cars

Tags would work better, possibly having two tags on a shop? Here's an example: [Offering] [Illustration/drawn] Sentiinel's amine shopp

I think maybe just have the illustration tag and nothing for other stuff because the specific categories are pretty small.

Yes. I.e you can have 1 prefix to specify whether you are doing Illustrations or Vectors, and then another for requesting/offering.
Hints the space right here:
/Shop Illustration/

Well good luck on this... Mick already shown he prefers to have as less prefixes as possible. I assume because if people/buyers can find what they are looking for fast then it gives less views for advertisements (only reason that comes in my mind) Good example - "Builds" section where widely used "Shop" and "Free" prefixes were removed despite users protests.

So I highly doubt we will see any extra prefixes added to make search for specific service easier.

Mick doesn't even make money PER view anymore.

Prefix changes I referred to were made back when adsence was used on MCM. I don't know if I have guessed correctly but honestly the reason mentioned above is the only one I can think of why those prefixes were removed from "Builds". And judging by the recent updates ("purchase sticky" msg spam, stickies shows up on top for every page, etc.) From this I assume views are still valued a lot and staff are not much interested to offer solutions which would make finding the service or product faster and generate less page views (like adding appropriate prefixes) I also believe advertisers can access dashboard/page where they can see the click count (etc statistic) so less views = people are less likely to purchase advertisements.

I would like to state this is just my personal opinion and could be inaccurate but for the reason no one from staff has come forward and replied to these concerns I will assume I am on to something and staff are not interested to add more prefixes due to it leading to less page views...

There are plans for a whole bunch of new thread prefixes to be created soon, so in the meantime I have been moving all prefix-related suggestions to pending since a lot of them are repeats and are going to end up being implemented anyways.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
