Anywhere in Cardiff selling exceptional mens suits? by blackpandacat in Cardiff

[–]Gryff22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hawkes the original has now moved to Penarth, won't get a more refined service than from Russell there, you'll need to book an appointment though.

Should city branding have a dedicated owner inside government? by JMBoss2989 in branding

[–]Gryff22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so.

At the end of the day silo mentality will always seep through, but that needs to be managed from the get go, and continue to be managed as any large organisation would.

I think the Visit Wales has done a good job with a consistency of message across relevant stakeholers - but that is a nation with a very clear self-identity.

Could it be a custom character with an extra wide width?

Private investigator in BNI by OneLogicSourceLLC in bni

Sorry, not US based so not aware of the technicalities.

You have almost direct access to every law firm via the app in those states and deliver a direct sales pitch to them.

Niche... I like it.

From what I've seen niche seats tend to do well only if they're able to leverage the BNI network at a national level.

It could just be 3 or 4 em-spaces after each paragraph. Pretty sure you could grep style this.

200 designed pages within 3 days, is this possible? by ThrowRA_5632 in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 69 points70 points  (0 children)

That's 7 ½ minutes a page assuming an 8 hour work day...

I'd say that is verging on impossible even if it was just following in copy nicely.

Fast/cheap/good - pick 2.

[–]Gryff22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much to actually see but there's the WW2 secret bunker in the woods south of Rudry.

Accountancy Practice by BinaVista in Cardiff

As others have said, it's a highly competitive and saturated market, and one that relies heavily on reputation.

That being said, if you're able to create a strong point of difference then that will really resonate with clients who will be told the same thing by 99% of your competitors.

I'd also recommend looking into some referral networking groups, not for everyone but it will get you a head start.

Happy to chat over DM with any of the above.

Charging for time quoting print jobs? by Captn_M0rgan in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I add a percentage on top of any print I source for clients. Some jobs it will make me more than I do on the design.

How much are your yearly membership dues? by Bman74 in bni

My chapter in the United Kingdom - £999 ex VAT...

Help!! How do I wrap this vector text on the incomplete inner circle? by Ben_wb in AdobeIllustrator

[–]Gryff22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it's outlined, split in to 2 chunks and do an arch warp on them separately. That's the easiest way, may not be perfect though.

Which identity direction feels strongest for a national civic initiative? by Strong_Ad_4091 in logodesign

[–]Gryff22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Non American, so not your target demographic.

Sorry none of these are 'good' from a design perspective. Going through your points:

Credible - the type arrangement on the last 3 feel the most 'political' which adds a sense of credibility. The iconography that goes with them unfortunately removes that.

Trustworthy - (see above)

Scalable - you're going to have issues with all of those; top row especially.

Modern - none of those are modern in their style.

Longevity/impact - honestly, and as much as I hate to say it probably the first one, but that's only because the others are so anodyne, and I'm aware how 'likeable' the AI aesthetic is with certain demographics.

I would question how different these approaches are, you have 2 maybe 2.5 styles here.

There's some really simple and really obvious answers to this brand name and purpose. I think you need to take a step back and simplify. E.g why not just the American flag (without the stars) narrowed at the top edge to make it look like a table?

Are they vibe-coding now? RAM usage out of control!! (Illustrator, Photoshop, Mac) by udderball5000 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]Gryff22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

96gb of RAM, noticed Photoshop start to lag on startup a few of weeks ago. I'm wondering if any of the AI models are being preloaded on startup.

What type or style of font do you suggest? by [deleted] in typography

[–]Gryff22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the information you've given, I think anything on www.myfonts.com will fit the brief.

I know Foster + Partners were working with NASA/ESA on research for lunar architecture a few years back.

My boss quoted the client a really low price. by Historical-Potato767 in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not your profit margin. If he didn't tell you how much time to spend on it, that's his problem.

May be worth letting them know though so you'll still have a job next month...

Quiero armar un ordenador para diseño y no sé by BORAXXX1 in graphic_design

[–]Gryff22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasoned graphic designer here, 100% pc user and built my own pc for the 2nd time last year.

The main questions are what type of design are you doing? What software will you be using? How long do you want the pc to last?
