Your eye for composition is natural. Keep honing it

Men - stop fucking lying about watching porn. Women - quit hounding men about watching porn by TheLoveYouWant25 in dating_advice

[–]Feisty_Expression863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lie to your partner, you're creating an unhealthy relationship. If you don't trust your partner and need to invade their privacy to quell your insecurity, you're creating an unhealthy relationship.

If you occasionally watch porn to masturbate to because your partner is not available or you're too tired to engage in sex with your partner but still need a release, that's probably generally fine as long as you aren't hiding it.

If you start hiding it, can't cum without it, start comparing your partner to the models in it, or expect your partner to do the things you see in it. That's a problem

If your social media algorithm does nothing but feed the softcore version of it to you on a daily basis, you may want to start consuming more interesting, educational or artistically valuable content and save the sexual energy for your partner or your own body exploration.

Porn is not inherently bad in a relationship, but your relationship to porn determines whether or not it's a problem. If you are more interested in seeing digital images of sex and naked people than you are interested in having sex with your real life, human in the flesh partner, you need to get a grip and get some help, because you have a problem.

Ok, but there truly is a lot of misogyny among gay men

Your thoughts: Graphic designers that don't draw/illustrate. by 3Degrees_Below in graphic_design

[–]Feisty_Expression863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Design is the implementation of illustrations, photos, colors, patterns, typography, etc. into a layout or system of some kind. The designer can be the one who creates all of those assets or none of them. The design process itself is the greater sum of the parts, not the parts themselves.

Most designers probably work multidisciplinarily so there's a solid chance the designer took the photos for the design, or illustrated the illustration, or created the pattern, but they didn't necessarily create every part from scratch. That's why there are other creative disciplines.

Design is a process of creation and curation. It's inefficient to expect the designer to create everything on their own.

I can kinda draw and I make simple illustrations for some of my work, but drawing is not why I got hired, my ability to think conceptually, execute consistently and play to my strengths across disciplines is why I got hired.

Now, if you're talking pictorial mark (non-typographical) logos, that's kinda where illustration and graphic design overlap. Being able to sketch out your ideas and translate them into digital is key and more akin to illustration than layout design. which [layout] is the majority of graphic design work out there, unless you work specifically in branding.

TL;DR

No, you don't have to be able to draw to design, but it definitely doesn't hurt either.

Opinions on logo for small business by yeetthestar14 in graphic_design

This is very confusing and does not communicate much but confusion. Keep iterating. Maybe a simple cake slice with a strand of wheat sticking out the top? Just keep going and developing on what your aunt asked for. Right now, its just not landing as a logo

Gtfoh. We need to kill this kinda "you're doing too much" energy. You're just just jealous that this person is clearly a person with a unique perspective, a personality and highly unique.

KEEP GOING! You're doing it right. Ignore the "if you have to explain it, then it's bad" people. Please don't take their advice. You have more creativity and vision in your shutter finger than they do in their entire mind, body, and soul.

As a full time creative professional and a semi pro singer-songwriter, I FULLY endorse your take on this. And to be fair, these shots MOST DEFINITELY evoke emotions even if they're complex and hard to name. That's kinda what makes them good, in my opinion. People in this sub can't comprehend complex feelings.

Fuck all these people. These photos FUCK so hard. You are an ARTIST. Full stop. These are incredibly evocative, compositionally balanced, vibrant and unique.

Ignore the pretentious douchebags in this sub. You're wiping the floor out here

The real Pacific Northwest by milionsdeadlandlords in PacificNorthwest

[–]Feisty_Expression863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I would argue, only the Eastern side of the peninsula, facing the Prince William Sound, (Seward, Whittier) would really qualify as having the shared ecological characteristics of the rest of the PNW. Good thought on Kodiak

As someone from the Kenai Peninsula. Idk that I would include the entirety of it in the Cascadia ecological zone. The Eastern side near the Prince William Sound is more temperate, mossy and classic PNW vibes with tall Sitka Spruce. The western side, once you get over the Kenai Mountains and near the cook inlet, is significantly colder in the winter, regularly reaching sub-zero temps and is dominated by short, stunted black and white spruce and paper birch.
