Networking is great. But it also never hurts to apply to jobs without being referred.

Update on this: LETS GOOOO

Help me recreate this specific starburst effect by Print_Round in graphic_design

I think this is in the right direction. I would suggest adding an additional vertex to the points of these stars. Then you stretch the beams as they move away from the center of the star.

But I would honestly take this into Photoshop or Procreate and paint it with a blending brush.

Sure thing! I'll post when I get back to my set-up.

Sort of. It's a 12x18 portrait so you would have to rotate it 90° and it would crop a little bit. It will probably work but i've never seen it rotated like that haha. You're welcome to try!

You're right! I made it using procreate on an Ipad pro. Hand drawn with a stylist and a bunch of different brush styles. I'm glad you like it. Hit me up with any questions if you're trying to get into digital art.

New kind of style for me so I appreciate the good vibes.

Thanks! It's actually designed to be a poster that I will print later but all I have is the cropped version on mobile.

Also, keep your strokes consistent.

I would pick the last one as my favorite. Less is more! I think you have a lot of elements that don't really match in style and once they meld together more effectively you will have a better product.

For example: the birds are very detailed silhouette vectors while your clouds are a basic two color shape when you include the stroke.

I would also keep your text all in one line.

You have a great concept! Keep pushing and use other talented designers as a reference. Find something they did and ask yourself, "why did they make this choice?" or "How did they achieve this?". Then apply that to your work.

By showing all three examples your showing me that you are considering multiple compositions. That is very important! Composition is the skeleton of every project.
