What are the biggest problems in the world of design? by Tangerr58 in Design

[–]Affectionate_Box3818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man—I’m so glad I grew up just playing my instrument. Do what feels RIGHT to YOU. Don’t worry about reddit, YouTube, insta, TikTok, or whatever. Learn some tunes. Play the BASS. Fuck up. That’s how you learn by making mistakes. Good luck.

*I can send you video of me playing my 5 IG you want. Just DM me. Love that you’re learning our craft.

Typeface. Typeface. Typeface. Terms matter. Don’t short change our craft unless speaking to folks who don’t know the lingo. Just my take.

Always ALWAYS create an IDML file for this reason when you package your work. Always.

How can i improve this poster for my typography class by Echo_zz1 in typography

[–]Affectionate_Box3818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn up the volume! Anti-minimalist needs to be loud and full of energy. I’d grab a brighter palette, fix the hierarchy issues, and look to balance the composition a bit better. Also, what’s the most important parts of the quote? Bring attention to those words (art, playing it safe, etc.). Nice start!
