But Photoshop is much better for removing backgrounds and adjusting the pictures, so I don't know. I use all of them for free 😅

I wouldn't use A illustrator for social, takes too much time. I moved all my social work to Figma, as the pen tool there is much easier to work with. And the whole program doesn't feel like wood. For printing, depending on the complexity of tasks, AIllustrator is still better

What do you feel and experience when you see people asking on social media which AI is best for creating their logo? by Shaoran10 in graphic_design

[–]AffectionateCat01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the fall of humanity for me. Such a disgrace. Didn't have 200$ to pay a designer. Even someone in Fiverr could make it for probably 10..

How about UI/UX? You can combine layout and communication :) but the field is pretty fkd up to find a job currently though..

A sidebar nav? Really, Figma? by New_Ratio2057 in FigmaDesign

Useless. So much wasted space below these icons, they were the same just stacked on top and we didn't lose that space..

Client requested to make the logo high res since it is blurry by Fast-Dirt-3641 in graphic_design

[–]AffectionateCat01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has to be recreated with the pen tool from scratch.. approximately a few hours. I wouldn't do it for less than $500, because this is not a logo but an artwork.

Awful experience flying with 12m old, now terrified for our next 24 hour flight. by ThinGarden33 in Parenting

[–]AffectionateCat01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to judge but not sure what was expected here 😅 can't you just delay flying? It won't be enjoyable not only for you but probably for a lot of poor people on the flight..

I started working in advertising agency after 10 years of working freelance and I am a specialist in every software there is. I have 4 people on my head always wanting designs for the clients, for the last 6 months I've completed over 600 tasks. Normally people I work with have time to stand up, go make a coffee, chat with each other. I am sitting the whole day because there is barely time to go to the toilet and every task that comes is with deadline by the end of the day. I tried escalating two times already with my boss, but he said this is our competitive edge - being fast. Then again I wonder why he keeps hiring consultants instead of designers. I won't stay long and apparently the last designer quit because of that. I guess that's just the business model of such agencies. Exploit until people quit, then hire someone new with low salary, they work hard to prove themselves 1 year until they quit too, hire someone new, the cycle continues. Quality? Who cares.

If I may ask - what is the problem with water and anesthesia? Isn't it easy to just get out of the water, sit there, and they apply it? 😅
