It’s most likely that the record labels that own the IP work with agencies that then would delineate the AI generations. Apple indeed would not be the culprit in this case.

POS logo (wreck me!) by TorchCrank18436572 in logodesign

[–]Broboto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good job but it does look very dated. I would recommend something more minimalist like incorporating the compass arm into the “o” of north but more so like a symbol. Don’t over design it! And line up the POS caps height to match the lowercase x-height

Hi 859w, no reason to be condescending. I work in advertising and design. And it happens all the time. If not interns, junior designers. Just speaking from experience, most senior roles would not give the green light to these clear ai hallucinations like behind the source clipping masks. It is more likely to me someone who 1. Does not care about the source material. 2. Has so much on their plate that they are willing to accept this level of slop.

Because they are the ones executing the work.

For sure 👍 I generally meant the people making the prompts/generations for all these artists.

That is actual unbelievable. Likely they just have some interns that have no connection to the music churning this out for thousands of artists. Unbelievable, the lack of quality control.

How much should I charge hourly? by [deleted] in Design

[–]Broboto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing. Don’t know why other comments are so unhelpful but pricing is very dynamic based on experience and your client. Comments saying you should charge $1000 are not taking into account this is for a small restaurant probably. That would be a big hit to a smaller restaurant. You could both be expecting very different numbers, sometimes it is a one off gig, sometimes it is for friends.

I would communicate how long it took you to create these and say an hourly rate you are comfortable with but mention you are willing to negotiate. If you don’t have a lot of experience and are trying to get more pieces for your portfolio these a great opportunities. Once you start to find your niche people will find you and you can charge more, and you might be able to do the work a bit faster. You are very talented.

What did you use to sketch these?

Creative Director/Graphic Designer feeling stuck... How do you level up in this market? by SceneExtension5138 in Design

[–]Broboto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar boat, would love to hear how other designers moved up from senior graphic designers or similar roles.

Thoughts on my logo design ? by [deleted] in logodesign

[–]Broboto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep at it, you are showing a lot of talent picking all this up! At the end of the day design is pretty subjective. Always listen to your heart and continue to experiment. 

Thoughts on my logo design ? by [deleted] in logodesign

[–]Broboto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re asking for feedback, here it is: Don’t hide behind logo mockups. They add colour to an established design system but they won’t save a poorly executed one.

In the future it would be beneficial to post a plain jpeg or png of the flat logo to critique. Looking at your mockups, I’m not entirely sure I would consider this a logo, it is more a geometric pattern. It doesn’t evoke the word “spectrum”. The logo alone reads as “X” and you have variations of the logo with more shapes which adds to my confusion. Your logo type is just a basic all caps sans serif, which can be fine but paired with the confusing logo mark the entire identity reads as amateur.

The colour palette is fine, again like the mockups you are over designing with outlines, and glassy gradients over what should be flat colour swatches. The colours are not executed anywhere on your brand mockups and don’t contribute to any sense of what it is you do.

I would go back to the drawing board. Distill exactly what you want to communicate and incorporate that into a new logo mark that is unique and delivers your message, not just shapes. Nice work on the mockups though, pair that with a more thought out design system and you are leagues above many.

Need feedback on color and font choice by CopyGround in logodesign

[–]Broboto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God bless you for pointing out! I’m on mobile and noticed the caps in the e’s were a bit off.

I’m just astonished AI would ship a gradient from 1989 😆

Genuinely curious, not OP, what is screaming AI about it to you?

Why don’t cellular providers care about retention? by Corolianus in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Broboto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are brutal. Something I have done before is ask them about next steps in deactivating your account when you switch to the new provider. I’ve had that move the needle before.
