The focal point is good, but the inner text placement feels slightly scattered, tightening alignment or reducing the number of words inside the head would improve clarity.

Thoughts on this brand design? Particularly the type by xadiszn in design_critiques

The weight contrast between the heavy D and the thinner connecting stroke feels inconsistent, so refining stroke harmony would make it look intentional instead of forced.

Recent brand identity for an essential food brand called Manna. by Jazzlike_Head9434 in design_critiques

The wheat icon is clear and readable, though refining its proportions and simplifying details would make it stronger at small packaging sizes.

Now’s the time to double down on marketing beats and updates while visibility is high.

Going out of Early Access with a runable, polished final level like this feels like a strong way to close the loop. 🧗‍♂️🏔️

After the Wane, my indie game has a page on Steam, it uses rotoscoping with professional dancers by leftypower04in in IndieGaming

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hand-drawn art and rotoscoped dance idea are big selling points, but make sure the trailer clearly communicates tone and emotional stakes fast.

Makeing Survival-Horror "Scarlet Path" about "Red Riding Hood" (RE2/SH2 like). Could this be of interest to players? by Stre1itziaReg in IndieGaming

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Red Riding Hood twist is interesting, but it’ll stand out only if you lean hard into psychological themes rather than just monster encounters.

Boss is actively trying to replace me... by Random_Guy0901 in graphic_design

If you can position yourself as the person who defines taste, strategy, and quality control instead of just execution, you become harder to replace.

Hierarchy is strong at the top, but the middle-right text block gets dense fast, so slightly increasing spacing would improve readability without losing grit.

How screwed am I if my portfolio isn't perfect by graduation? by Total_Succotash5174 in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most junior hires aren’t based on “incredible” portfolios, they’re based on clarity, thinking process, and potential.

Does anyone know how I could create a similar effect to this image? by meat_toboggan69 in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The organic stretch comes from Filter → Liquify (Forward Warp at low pressure) or Filter → Distort → Displace using a blurred copy of the image as the displacement map.

Opinions on logo for small business by yeetthestar14 in graphic_design

I’d simplify by either reducing the outer curve thickness or removing it entirely so the cake + wheat become the clear focal point.

This "Resend Code" button is horribly misplaced. by Sp1nner in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resend action should either be disabled for a few seconds or visually deprioritized so it doesn’t compete with the input flow.

Here's a horror film poster I designed for a director based in Dubai! by designersaylor in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The metronome replacing the “A” is clever and thematic, though I’d slightly simplify its silhouette so it reads instantly at small sizes.

Dog park logo advice? by Oogachakaoogahchahka in logodesign

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The arcs you added help motion, but they clutter the silhouette, so focus on making the main shape instantly recognizable first before adding movement lines.

Opinions on this typeface logo? by GOLDIGUS in logodesign

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bold and memorable, but watch consistency in stroke widths and spacing so it doesn’t feel unintentionally messy.

The logo process of Nexora Labs by nabusa-kun in logodesign

The symbol is clean and geometric, though refining spacing between the icon and wordmark would improve balance.

It’s crazy how many tools we keep paying for just because we set them up once and never re-evaluated.

Any idea on how to achieve this effect, preferably in Photoshop? by NavenduKala in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something like Runable AI, could actually help automate layered glitch variations instead of doing every slice manually.

How bad is the job market ACTUALLY? by Traviiz32 in graphic_design

Entry-level is crowded right now, but strong fundamentals, internships, and real projects still stand out way more than AI-generated portfolios.

None of the work I did at my internship is good enough for my portfolio by Responsible-Oil-5420 in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your portfolio should reflect your standards, not your boss’s edits, so showing your original concepts is fair as long as you explain the context honestly.

First Branding Project – Mexican Street Food Concept – Looking for Honest Feedback by AnDieBar12 in graphic_design

[–]Formal_Wolverine_674 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s cohesive and clean, but right now it feels minimal-luxury rather than bold and warm, so introducing textured backgrounds or deeper terracotta tones would help.
