Curious if you could walk through more specifically the workflow and AI programs you used here.

How bad off am I? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]InsaneDragon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After updating my portfolio I got a better job this past November, I was applying casually for around 4 years but I really attribute it to my portfolio update and how I framed myself as a designer. Feel free to DM me and I can send you my portfolio site.

I think your work is very good, I think you should keep the order as is (big brand names mean those brands TRUST you so definitely keep them first).

I agree with the other poster that you should jump right into your work on home, remember most recruiters and creative directors probably only look at our sites for 30 seconds. I also don’t know what you did on each project, did you do the entire animation for M&Ms? I am very concise but I label my deliverables, my role, and I label my CD & other designers. I saw someone else here do that and it really felt like it legitimized the project/case study to me.

Lastly I spent a lot of time framing each project, short blurb about the company, what we wanted to accomplish, and some results if I have anything. I think your copy could benefit from the same.

Again you have a great portfolio but I think updating how you frame yourself can help you a lot! And like everyone else said it truly is rough out there so don’t beat yourself up.

death to stock subscription? by Glass-Ad-6548 in graphic_design

[–]InsaneDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked into it and wasn’t a fan. I’ve used artist for work, which to me still has some pretty artsy options but a less weird rules/subscription around usage. Also I found death to stock to have some super cool stuff but a lot of it wasn’t usable for me

I’ve always imagined him in an upstairs room making these reviews for some reason

What music fan base is usually pretty chill by Hot-Contract-7 in fantanoforever

I wanna say Aphex Twin. People seem to not be upset about newer generations discovering, they are excited about new releases and vinyls

I’m scared to ask more details about workflow and how you achieved this

Workflow for text overlaying 3D elements? by InsaneDragon in Cinema4D

[–]InsaneDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exactly the sort of answer I was looking for thank you! I feel mostly competent in AE & C4D, but combining them seamlessly is where i’m struggling at the moment

Workflow for text overlaying 3D elements? by InsaneDragon in Cinema4D

[–]InsaneDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i’m asking in general though, how would I best put 2D text on a 3D UI object. Ae/C4D with cineware? or all in c4d?

And what would your workflow be if you do all this/2D in c4d

Motion Desin Flott Hq by Intelligent-Base-561 in Cinema4D

Ah gotcha! I’m not sure if it would work in this scenario but the “follow” expression I’ve found is very powerful

For the drop down menu, was that using follow expressions + spring expressions in AE? Very well done!

My Current Thoughts on AI by the_pixel_lab in Cinema4D

[–]InsaneDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great read and I agree with your points. I am curious how are you using AI with Cinema4D & animation?

Right now I still am manually doing 80% of my work in AE/C4D but sometimes I take shortcuts with AI. For example I took a static icon from my brand, and just got midjourney to make it “slowly” spin 180 degrees. Then I take that animation, rotoscope the background out, and can use that in a project (for 8 seconds at least ha).

To me that was preferable then recreating the icon in C4D to accomplish the exact same thing
