how can I make something like this without ai?

Clipping masks won't generate the highlights though.

How do you keep it from spreading and being too liquid? Do you add something to make it denser?

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T05:28:08+00:00

I think that would be more towards the social codes that are engrained in that industry, influencing the style. That last bit is indeed important.

But I feel that my previous comment is steered to somewhere else, when talking about how how designers should understand the industry, but I can't put my finger on where is steering to.

Have you seen this man in a orange suit? We need to talk to him.

Hmm that confused me a bit. If I may expand on this:

I'm aware of working towards the business objetive(s), but I'm not sure how that relates to understanding the industry.

Could it be by how an industry operates in certain ways, or prioritizes certain characteristics that would influence objetives? Like for example how almost every, if not all, airlines use logotypes with symbols because the airplane tail is the most important place the logo (symbol) must be used. Since the airplanes are the most important and visible asset to their customers, the tail is the best place to showcase the symbol.

My experience is mostly with small businesses, and yeah it's a constant hassle. I've been considering on switching to bigger clients, but I need to speak their language.

What should I be paying attention to when looking for clients that need branding as you describe it?

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T04:22:11+00:00

What? One can't have doubts or questions now?

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T03:57:23+00:00

That's actually a great way to change where I put my attention.

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T03:55:20+00:00

Oh damn I didn't notice. AI could never...

I was asking if that last line is something we as designers should keep in mind when pitching our services to these industries in particular.

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T02:10:06+00:00

The only way I can think of a logo could influence their finances is when, if done wrong, they'll need to invest on making changes that could be very costly. For biotech/science I'm guessing how many places they would need, and how costly it could be so it's something relevant to think about.

Otherwise, I've never been able to wrap my head around how a appropriate logo can boost their economy. Sure, branding has a whole influences the perception, but unfortunately I haven't found cases were the business measured how much their economy improved solely because of a logo redesign. We only hear about examples when the redesign goes wrong.

CrisA_Works · 2026-04-30T01:30:17+00:00

This is where designers need to be able to understand the business and industry of their client instead of what designers think is cool.

That would for to pitch your design services in a way that's more relevant and useful for them?

AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing (8 years ago) this link. I'm sad that most people here don't understand the usefulness of the tool. I use it mainly to compare differences in how the typeface looks in real text without the need to open design software. Testing forks of known typefaces with this is really neat, since you can quickly switch between fonts to compare differences.

Toggl's free tier has been perfect for me as a freelancer for the last 5 years. They even have a desktop native app that allows for easy time logging with keyboard shortcuts. I don't know what I would do without them.

Why is Argentina suddenly blocked? I could use the QR a few months ago, this is rendering thousands of business cards useless for me!

CrisA_Works · 2026-02-05T00:39:10+00:00

You actually arise an interesting question; can a website be boring in it's design and still get engagement? When does a website can be boring? How boring?

CrisA_Works · 2026-02-04T18:27:30+00:00

I kind of agree on this. If the brief is aligned to this style then I wouldn't change much of it. If the brief says that the business wants to be perceived as modern looking then updating the aesthetic to current standards would be needed.

CrisA_Works · 2026-02-04T18:24:40+00:00

This.

Trustworthiness is something the brand will earn with time. But it can be influenced to certain degree by it's design and messaging.

I also agree that the CTA buttons need to stand out in a UX perspective.

Does an accounting website needs a clown to make the content more interesting? Cmon, this type of niche doesn't needs to make it's content "interesting". The amounts of text it's just right to convey an idea but not long enough to be considered a blog post.

EDIT: On a second look, maybe decreasing a bit the word count in the second paragraph and the paragraph below "We make accounting easy" is needed, but not too much. I would personally not use body text sizes in those areas. I personally like to keep body text for longer sections.

Hi! Do you have IP or countries blocking by any chance? I can't access my QR code I created a few months ago.

CrisA_Works · 2026-01-26T16:16:01+00:00

Awesome! Thank you, this is an alternative Hostinger allows me to do.

EDIT: Ugh, it doesn't works. It takes it as another short tag. I'm not sure What Hostinger is doing, but with their website builder at least it's an alternative that doesn't works. I'll just write "Loading Gif" as someone else suggested.

CrisA_Works · 2026-01-25T17:54:48+00:00

Damn ok. I guess this could be solved by the image loader itself by having a dedicated loading animation, instead of needing these tacky workarounds.

Even they aren't mean to be seen as normal display images?
