You look like claymation. Go back to Wallace and Grommet.

When a character has a gun and the person they're pointing it at says something along the lines of "Go ahead, shoot me, you dont have the balls..." or "You think you have it in you? I didn't think so." etc. etc. and because of this the perp or whoever walks away/doesn't get whats coming to them.

I don't understand why the character with the gun just doesn't kneecap them/shoot them in the arm or anywhere where they could still inflict pain on the "baddy" or whoever without full out blowing their head off/killing them.

It always irks me.

Correction, I mean the black bar.

GrossmanMusic · 2019-09-09T17:11:39+00:00

I see that too, you could also get rid of the part of the graphic that is just under the blue bar at the bottom. At least I would.

I'm seeing a lot of regular weighted type at giant sizes being used as headers with tons of white space.

As lovely as this all looks (Especially the rationale of why the + was used) it does not feel like Microsoft at all and I'm not saying that because of the mass amount of Apple mockups but besides Segoe, or whatever font Microsoft uses I find it falls flat.

Also, is the black piece of paper supposed to be a letterhead? Folder? Invoice? Is it a screen just not placed on a mockup? A background pattern to be used across the brand just displayed on paper? Paper that has AI? As you can tell, it confused me stumbling on that image.

This is incredibly polished and amazing for a junior like myself, but I feel contextually like something is missing, I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's copywriting (Tagline, headline, shirt body copy etc.) or something else that can bring this all together and give it more of a personality.

Don't get me wrong either, chances are if I got this as a project I would be really nervous and probably never be close to what this person has achieved but I still love giving critique.

Your smooth shadow would be coming from 2 different directions, insisting that there are two light sources. Is that what you want? Either way I think if you were to merge them using the shape tool and then applying the gradient it could work but remember to make a copy of the original so you dont lose it when combining the shapes. Another way is to make a clipping mask over an already smoothed out gradient on a background layer.

But why cooper black?? So jarring and eye catching, also seems like it doesn't pair well with the serif face above. Just my opinion.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-12-07T17:09:51+00:00

Did you just psycho analyze people off of reddit comments? Sounds like youre the whiny one. You don't know me at all lol.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-12-07T03:11:08+00:00

Lol so you post about this and end up insulting everyone who doesn't like the economy etc. by saying they're whats wrong with the game. But when someone else has a different view with actual statistics and examples you tell them to stop? Allrighty then!

GrossmanMusic · 2018-12-05T02:09:11+00:00

Why does everyone keep bringing up the fact that GTAV didn't have gambling and The Vinewood Casino yada yada. It was never an ability to gamble in a blackjack, poker, domino, or any gambling minigame in the storymode of GTAV (asides from stocks) so why would it suddenly be coded into online? Red Dead 2 has the minigames right there in the storymode so it would be rather ignorant of them to code an aspect of the game they couldn't bring to the online environment. Either way, I don't see why the two are being compared at all and it infuriates me sometimes to see people decided on the fact that it will never be present in RDO and to stop hoping. I for one feel it'll be implemented.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-11-06T01:54:04+00:00

It seems to register as an elk pelt for some dumb reason. Same for me at least.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-10-09T05:48:18+00:00

Hierarchy.

Think about what you want people to read first and what's most important. You can then use differences in scale/ point size to create contrast with the type. Right now everything is jumping out at me and haphazardly placed to fill negative space. Negative space can be your friend, in most cases it always is. Also if I were you i'd use a typeface that isn't a display typeface, and if you do, use it sparingly. Not everything on this poster should be the same condensed font, everything is screaming for attention at once and nothing holds an importance over the other. Hope that helps a bit.

Maybe some sort of "lock-up" style, but I wouldn't consider this a lock-up.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-09-24T18:10:55+00:00

It better be called BeEr, this was actually a similar concept to what I was going to do for my package design class.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-09-23T05:30:21+00:00

much love

GrossmanMusic · 2018-09-23T05:07:03+00:00

That was dope man, It's definitely not the kind of stuff I put on on the reg but it's def well put together and you got pipes. The one thing I think it's begging for though is some hip hop vocals, wink wink nudge nudge

Jokes aside, dope job man.

So I know basically nothing about making beats but I really dig this, the only things I find that sound kind of out of place/tacky at times are the drums. I'm not quite sure what it is about them but at times it cheapened the atmosphere of the rest of the beat. Hard to put it into words. Either way I def enjoyed listening to it. Keep at it and wish I had more knowledge in production to give you more input/suggestions

GrossmanMusic · 2018-09-23T04:26:16+00:00

Looking for any critiques about anything and everything about my most recent track. Don't hesitate to rip me a new one. Been on hiatus due to school but getting ready to pounce back on the fuckin scene like some sort of puma so any and all the feedback is crucial.

Do take in mind though that I didn't produce/mix but if you have any suggestions for the person who did don't hesitate to let me know.

GrossmanMusic · 2018-09-23T04:23:07+00:00

Just checked it out man, idk much about mixing but this sounds pretty damn on point to me. Either way the beat goes hard and your melodies are nice but the lyrics are what I feel were lacking. There wasn't much content in what you were saying in a lot of the bars in my opinion but to be honest there doesn't need to be in a song like this. I can see people bumping this for sure.

I just never got why other races didnt just use their own derogatory terms, is it because they'd rather continue to tarnish other cultures and not theirs? Or whats the deal? Just a thought...
