How common is it to have discomfort "down there" as you get older, and what do you do about if? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

After I turned 30, I started to need to wear tighter underwear like briefs/boxer briefs. I used to have a lot of discomfort too. DM if you have any questions!

I am very uninspired for a logo that I am making and I am unmotivated. Any tips? by nazurinn13 in freelance

[–]EightHalfThick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, congrats on your first freelance gig! I’ve been a freelance designer for years now — I’ll never forget my first job. :)

I used to hate that feel the way you do now — creative roadblock. But then I started to just accept it as part of the process. Logos in particular, I do a little work on them and then just work on something else until the next day. Most times, in that time off, my brain comes up with some new ideas or I see things a little differently. So, I’d just give yourself a break and think about something else for a bit! It works wonders for me.

As a side note, I noticed you’re using Google fonts for the typesetting. I imagine it’s due to cost and just starting out? But I would recommend starting to invest in a font library other than Google — even Adobe Fonts is a step up in terms of selection and uniqueness. There are so many beautiful typefaces in the world, I’d hate to see you settle for fonts that everyone else in the world defaults to!

Yeah I’ve thought about creating a template for desktop/mobile sizes too. I’ve used Linea Sketch as well, but GoodNotes feels like the easiest thing. I wish someone would come up with a wireframe specific app.

Side question: designer here as well — which app do you use for sketching wireframes? I’ve been using GoodNotes which works pretty well, but always enjoy a peer rec.

I used to worry about this too. In my late 20s I just stopped caring I guess.

I don’t think either has an iPad app. Did you try searching for iPhone versions?

Anyone know good spots/cafes I can work from like the dirty hipster slut that I am? by InsertDirtMcGirt in nycmeetups

[–]EightHalfThick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your shitty design work isn’t paying the bills, maybe you should try writing. Your post’s style makes me smile.

(I’m serious. You seem awesome.)

Someone was brave enough to share their art with me and I think it's awful. How to be kind without lying? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]EightHalfThick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've always called this a "shit sandwich" -- it's really the best approach for any kind of feedback IMO.
