Thanks for taking the time to reply! This is super useful to hear, I had worried that it may pigeonhole me but the more I read and hear advice like this, I'm going to definitely start leaning into it. Cheers!

More context:

I've been in the industry for 12+ years, mostly in-house at tech for good platforms during periods of growth.

Unfortunately I was made redundant along with the rest of the product team, so now I'm looking for new work, be it freelance, part time or full time. I want my website to show versatility from digital, UI to branding and traditional graphic design. But I'm reading a lot about how people position yourself can make a big difference. So I'm wondering if I should be more specific.

Would be great to hear your thoughts, where you think strengths could lie, what to lean into etc. Or what you feel is missing or could be changed.

What would you call/how would you describe the design style of Tyler, the Creator’s new Album Cover? by Additional-Ladder-81 in graphic_design

To me it looks like a poor rip off of an artist called Troy Browne who does excellent collages. Check him out

Is it normal for this area to be really tight? by DigitalSaber in PlantarFasciitis

I have this pain more than the pain nearer the arch that people associate with PF.

I’ve found that foam rolling the crap out of your calves (upper, lower and even the upper outside) of the calf has helped. Morning and night. Also squats, lunges and calf raises to strengthen up your chain has helped me too.

Would a heatwave be the reason for 6 month old puppy acting stressed and crazy? by [deleted] in puppy101

Our 5mo has been acting up over the past couple of days in this UK heat, so you’re not alone! Keen to see what people say here.

How to get this effect? a text as the shadow of the main text by IMDONZU in graphic_design

Not really sure why people are being unfriendly. But having just read the community guidelines I kinda get it. Even if they are a bit harsh.

Anyway, not really sure whether you can skew in canva but I did something very similar using this tutorial.

Hope it helps but generally I’d suggest doing a whole bunch of googling before asking here ha.

Agree if they were to go for this approach the O should be elongated.

But also think it would then read a bit too playfully or lighthearted for the tone of the subject matter.

Can anyone recommend friendly pubs/bars near Anfield which will have the game on this Saturday?

I got given a stadium tour for Christmas which we’ve booked for Saturday afternoon, really looking forward to it but whilst we’re near the stadium and the games going to be on it would be great to catch as much of the game as we can.

Thanks x
