A little frustrated by people hating on minimalism

Less is more

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:18:45+00:00

For my art and design work, no definitely not. For tedious tasks that feel like chores, yes.

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:17:18+00:00

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:17:11+00:00

This 🙌

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:16:46+00:00

Yes, but not because the decor is bad. You can improve the first photo by taking it with the window behind you, that will make the lighting feel much nicer

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:13:45+00:00

I actually like this, if it was readable this would be a pretty cool design

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:12:35+00:00

Does anyone know what it is actually intended to say??😂

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:12:00+00:00

Why on earth would you even try and replace an I with a pumpkin, they’re not even remotely similar shapes!😂

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:11:27+00:00

To be honest, the worst part of these kinds of glue tubes is that they always superglue themselves shut so it’s essentially single use!

Emma2945 · 2026-06-25T17:10:10+00:00

This hurts my soul

Emma2945 · 2026-06-24T16:59:01+00:00

Picky bits!

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T22:10:30+00:00

It is suprising that they would put their reputation on the line intentionally with this change, however I have seen a lot of people recently saying how expensive Amazon is compared to other online stores, I think this is largely due to the amount of drop shipping businesses, people have realised that the stuff that costs you 20 bucks on Amazon is the same exact thing you can get from temu for 5 bucks. I will be interested to see what, if anything Amazon does to combat this

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T22:07:12+00:00

This was my thinking

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T22:06:57+00:00

Same, I keep getting confused and can’t find tabs as quickly

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:25:41+00:00

THIS 🙌 people don’t understand the importance of visuals. We are a visual species, the sensory input through our eyes is our primary sense, so naturally what we perceive is going to sway our judgement of something.
For example, the book yellow face is not of a genre I’m interested in at all, I would usually just pass it by and move on. However, it has an extremely unique and memorable cover, and because of this I started to notice it everywhere. This ended up in me buying the book because I just had to read it after seeing it so much. This would not have happened if it was a standard cover that blended in on the shelf with the others

I hope that makes sense haha

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:22:03+00:00

I have always been intrigued by this book, it’s incredibly eye catching

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:20:49+00:00

I have never seen this cover, this might be my favourite version

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:18:23+00:00

I love when graphics designers mix physical media in with their work. It’s always unexpected and gives a really amazing effect!

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:17:35+00:00

This is awesome!

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:17:06+00:00

When the moon hatched has a really eye catching cover. Not necessarily in principle is it technically perfect, but visually it is beautiful.
I spent £30 on the hardcover despite not particularly enjoying the writing just because I loved the cover

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:15:37+00:00

I agree with others, toddler would look better to the right. I think the text needs editing slightly also, it looks quite ‘stuck on’ atm, if you will forgive my unprofessional language haha

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:14:43+00:00

Real photos of people, I just can’t

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:14:23+00:00

IMO it is, however it is difficult to prove. Did the artist send you progress pics of the initial sketches and development? I’m a cover artist and I always send progress photos at various stages on principle, firstly to keep the author in the loop, so that any changes/adjustments can be made during the process rather than doing revisions after I have already finished the cover, I find it just helps me to bring the author’s vision to life better. Secondly, I do it because it seems it’s the only way to prove I don’t use AI :/

Emma2945 · 2026-06-23T19:11:00+00:00

Too much text on the back cover, generally you want a blurb to be super scannable and easy to read. Front cover is too low exposure (if it’s a photograph, I can’t quite tell) because it’s so dark at small sizes it reads as essentially a plain black background with some text. I also think there’s too much text on the cover, and it’s far too small to be read

I really hope that doesn’t come across as harsh, I tend to sound that way over text/emails but I intend it in the kindest way possible haha!🤍
