I can’t tell if it’s just me but it looks literally 3D on my screen. Anyone know how they did this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before!

This was a very unlikely pairing, Nestlé, which is one of the most genuinely profits before people corporations hiring underground comix legend Skip Williamson to illustrate their Spook Group packaging for Quik, to give the kiddies something to look at while they drink their chocolate milk. Skip must have gotten a gig with some ad agency, because he left a trail of commercial work in the seventies that didn’t fit in with his comix pieces & the usual suspects of radical papers & record covers. x SEAN

The copy was given in a brief, so I'm only looking for feedback on the design. I used a black, orange, olive and beige palette with metallic 3D objects (AI-generated) to tie the 5 slides together. Mainly wondering about hierarchy and readability on mobile. Be blunt!

​

There's not much more to it than that; it's a MA. I'm redesigning it because I had one before, but it was too sharp and edgy and didn't represent me. With the new one, I'm aiming for a calmer and more informal image but without overdoing it

Edit: Bro, I'm a designer :'), I hadn't noticed the resemblance to binoculars, I guess I have to start over. Perhaps I didn't explain myself well because of the translator; it's my personal brand, a graphic design business.

I tried designing swiss style poster which I might use as room decoration. I just can’t decide between the two versions before I send the design to printing service. So I would greatly appreciate to know people’s opinion on which one is more visually appealing.

Any potential advice is welcome as well!

I’ve been on a mission to try and design colourful food/snack packaging because i feel like so much of branding today is boring and simple.

It stared with FizzPop a fictional soda pop brand i created to test out if i could make readable flavours just from the designs of the cans themselves. (I recently made a post about FizzPop to this subreddit if you wanna see it check my profile)

But ever since i made the first designs for FizzPop i knew i wanted to do chip bags too cause they fall into a similar “junk food” category in my mind. and so I designed a few of the most iconic potato chip flavours (at least in terms of western flavours). And when coming up with what logo to put on the bags I thought it would be fun to make “CrispPop” as if the company that makes FizzPop also has a line of chips too, as if they’re just off branches of one conglomerate company. (Like pepsico & fritolay)

But enough rambling. You’ve seen my designs lmk what you think I’m always very open to constructive feedback. Graphic design is very fun for me i don’t do it professionally in any sense but i’m always trying to improve. 🤍

im also at a new point in my career where im starting to work with more jr designers (more as just a secondary reviewer, not art director level yet), and im struggling to figure out how to support them with things like reports, documents, and flyers. some of it is just my inexperience giving feedback in a work environment in general, and i know some of it will just take time, but i also know it's been discussed as a general weak point in a lot of student portfolios, so i figure someone has dealt with this.

like, do i send them optimal line-length articles? do i leave 300 comments on every margin that's off in their document? do i just consider it not my business and let it slide? lol in all seriousness i will most likely also ask the CD i work under for advice, but i was curious about other people's experiences and what they've found genuinely helpful, as i've honestly never had that much trouble with typesetting past, say, typography 1 or 2 during college.

I have to commute an hour by train and made this illustration + the graphic design. I did have a reference for the posture of the character. I used to do illustrator explainer style work a lot as a freelancer, but now being a teacher I enjoy making these just for the fun of it. The line art with a minimal set of colours and using basic shapes always appeals to me. It is an easy way of creating fun graphics.

I made this to solve some 3D printing problems that i kept running into, but it works for vectors and videos too. Thought some folks in here might appreciate it / find it helpful.

Why did i make it?
1. Dithering photos is impossible in slicer tools
2. I needed the print as stepped layers instead of one layer of many colors

Once I built the 3D exports the other file types were easy to support so I figured I'd offer those too.

Gallery shows just some of what it can do. If there is more interest I'd be happy to share more!

Like the title says… favorite job boards or favorite ways you’ve gotten a job.

Built my portfolio as a Behance Post. I have no idea if that's okay or if anybody's even going to bother clicking on it, or if it's better to build a web page. I also have no clue if the work exhibited here is good enough to get myself hired. Any tips?

I'm talking about those great Ideas you designed, that you would make your portfolio and win awards, but for whatever reason it never saw the light of day.

Perhaps...

...The client chose to go a different direction.

...The entire project was scrapped.

...The budget wasn't enough to execute it, or it got cut along the way.

...There were so many changes that the end result became something you are embarrassed to share.

Do you...

... just say that's a shame, save the files on a drive and occasionally show a friend?

... say screw it and you show it in your portfolio and submit it into publications and awards as spec work?

... pocket the idea and reuse it for another project down the road?

... change some details (like replacing the client with a fictional brand) just so you can show it off?

as the title suggests i am indeed a photographer and filmmaker but recently i started trying to learn some design! this is a piece i made mixing a photograph i took with a sketch that i scanned, let me know what you guys think!

Hi! Here’s my first project combining 3D (in Blender) and graphic design (in Photoshop)! How could I improve it?

About the piece: I see it a bit as an auto portrait, where the moth tries searching for sense in a world which seems to lack it. I love pieces packed with plenty of references to decipher and I really hope you'll enjoy it !

Thanks in advance :)

Before and After

Using the feedback I got in a previous post I’ve edited the designs of a fictional soda brand I made up to test out my design abilities. Lmk what you think i’m open to feedback.

I feel like I haven't really done much designing since my internship ended a couple months ago, and I'm wondering how people keep up work even without employment? I want to keep myself sharp and increase exposure for potential recruiters, so I'm curious about any tips you have.

Thank you for your time, and best of luck!

hi everyone. i’m in the process of portfolio building and decided on a small business to practice on. what are ways i could make this better and more effective?

i’m finding it difficult because i’m trying to keep the colors and typography of the brand consistent but everything about this feels very bland. i also never went to school for graphic design, i’m majoring in digital marketing strategy.

Recently, I’ve discovered a large collection of stamps that belonged to my grandfather. They’re mostly Brazilian, but there are also many from around the world.

Since I find these stamps to be great for design references and studies, I’ve created a digital archive for them on an Instagram page.

Sharing here in case anyone is fond of this kind of design or is just looking for alternative visual references beyond what we usually find on the internet.

Hi!

At my current job I’ve slowly taken initiative and turned into the guy who sets up our Asana, builds templates, trains everyone on the tools, and figures out how projects should flow. I still design but they are looking to have me 50-50 split.

Management is giving me bump and letting me choose my own title, so I’m looking for some help.

Thanks!

End of the day? ( Friday) Tomorrow( Saturday)? Schedule a thank you email to Monday morning 8 am?

EDIT: all right. seems same day is the advice..Just sent out the email! It did happened to me before where I had and interview on Thursday or Friday and was ready to sent out a thank you email on Monday, but then got an auto rejection email on Sunday 8am...

Tldr: the winning “design” from a *natural resources student org’s logo competition lifts it's elements from linocut prints/etc. and I'm not sure how to bring it up with club leadership (in WI, USA, for the record).

Forgive me if this isn't the proper place to ask this and do let me know if this question would be better directed elsewhere.

I'm part of a university student organization that recently had a logo design contest. Logo designs were submitted and voted on by members. The winning “design” had what I initially thought was just a collection of random clipart (which I found irritating). After trying to find said clipart’s source because I'm petty like that, I realized the “designer” was just copying linocut designs they found on pinterest (which genuinely pisses me off).

How do I bring this up to the club’s leaders? Does the omission of fine details call fair use into question or are the silhouettes enough to make it some sort of infringement? Should I reach out to the artists in question directly? I did my best to find original sources but Pinterest makes it difficult. One of the copied designs is legitimately the current logo of a practicing artist in Canada. It strikes me as disgraceful—if not legally suspect—to use these artists’ work in a logo that will be made into and sold as club merchandise.

*Clarifying this point because a lot of folks have assumed this is a graphic design organization—it isn't, and if that makes a difference in how I should approach this I'd like to know. Thanks.

Im a solid designer, im looking for senior or art director roles, but im terrible at resumes specifically what to include and what not. My title currently is global graphic designer but im operating in an art director/ senior capacity. I’ve talked to friends that have a more in detail analysis of what I’m doing everyday and they said I’m operating at a senior designer level. They are creative directors and senior designers with years of experience at large companies. I’m just really confused at how my resume reads, if it’s good at all and I’m just getting rejected because of the market or if the confusion is me putting art director title while all my roles have been designer or really what’s going on here, any and all help is appreciated.

Hey, this is my first project and I'm also learning japanese so I thought why not mix both?

This is a poster for a fictional Devil May Cry 6 release.

Black text says "Now on sale to critical acclaim"

White text says "Devil May Cry 6"

Yellow text says "Explore Dante's chaotic younghood"
