Great question.

For me it means a combination of a certain style with the quality of execution. Not necessarily a project must have a stunning idea, because even the most awesome idea can be spoiled by the quality of its implementation. Many of the works can be cite as an example, but for better clarity, we can have a look on the works by d3luxxxe. Great elegant style + quality execution. One word – professional. Sorry for my english.

my commonly used adjectives in item, or on item

is Great, Good, Nice…

what is professional etc

I don’t know:)

Something that demonstrates that the maker has mastered his craft.

I think I have to disagree with most of you. To me a professional in any field is a person that makes a living performing their service, no matter how good or bad that service may be. There are a ton of “professional” designers in my area, and most of them couldn’t design their way out of a cardboard box. But because they make a full living off their craft/service, they can consider themselves a professional in the field.

Because of the loose definition of the term, I try not to use it..EVER.

So true. However as I see it this looseness comes from the difference between ‘professional’ as an adjective or ‘professional’ as a noun. Anyone can win a few bucks with a design and say “I made of this my profession, so I am a professional”.

It’s not so light to tag some piece of work as professional.

Maybe it’s an idiomatic point of view too I speak from the use of it in spanish.

I’m in the area of multimedia for about ten years. And I do not consider myself a professional.

i use that word a lot in comments to denote projects that I feel have a broadcast-quality, very well done look. .. agree w/Mark re probably better adjectives could be used that are less ambiguous… it’s more a “Class” type of word when I use it, as in:

amateur = simplistic projects that look like something someone who’s an ae newbie author did

vs

professional = advanced, detailed project with good composition, detailed elements that enhance vs detract (like lens flares, OF, sparks, smoke done right, subtly) and 3d camera work that’s well done
