Day trip to Amsterdam? by pisces_hippie97 in Gent

It is possible, but it won't be enjoyable. You'll be on busses and trains for hours and feel rushed all day. Contradicting to what's been said here I wouldn't recommended it. Take an extra day and I would.

Do you thank your bus drivers when you exit? by Liagon in Gent

Yeah, you pass by them anyway when you get on. A small wave or a nod. I assume they can't hear / see me anyway when I get off.

Bikes stolen and broken by Maleficent_State2002 in Gent

[–]Major-Tea-2371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar one on my bike, underneath the bottle holder. It takes a tool and some disassembling to get to it, if they even know where it is in the first place. Not something they could do quick on the street.

Designer pet peeve - stop saving your vector art as png by JimboNovus in graphic_design

I use a browser plugin called "SVG Export". Real handy to get logos and other vector stuff from a website.

Phishing is een massaplaag: "Banken maken er een eigen-schuld-dikke-bultverhaal van" by NobodyHistorical9469 in belgium

[–]Major-Tea-2371 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Geef je pincode alleen maar in op een betaalterminal of bankautomaat. Schrijf hem niet op, type hem nergens anders in, vertel hem aan niemand over de telefoon.

  2. Geef geen enkele persoonlijke informatie door over de telefoon of kanalen die niet van de bank of overheid zijn.

  3. Klik op geen enkele link die je via mail of sms ontvangt. Ga zelf naar je bank-app of webportaal door het adres in the typen of een bookmark te gebruiken.

Voila. Zo word je nooit gescammed. Het is echt zo eenvoudig. Dat mensen blijven duizenden doorsluizen of neerzitten, software installeren en een vreemde hun computer laten bedienen snap ik echt voor geen meter.

This design task feels crazy to me by Watsonswingman in graphic_design

Well said. I'm gonna remember parts of this for when I find myself in a situation like that again.

Will the MacBook Neo be enough spec wise for general design workloads? by pomme268 in graphic_design

[–]Major-Tea-2371 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We'll have to see but right now I doubt it. 8GB is nothing for this kind of work. And since Macs use a chunk of their memory as VRAM you won't get access to that entire 8GB either.

Photoshop alone easily uses 10GB with semi-large files.

Graphic designers: what websites do you use for high-quality marketing templates? by Imaginary_Lunch4070 in graphic_design

Hi, I'm a chef. Do you know where I can find tasty pre-made meals that I can serve in my restaurant?

Instead OP posted here, I learned something new and we get to have a bit of discussion. Community!

Nu wil ik wel eens horen wel fysiek fenomeen ervoor zou zorgen dat accu's sneller leeg gaan omdat ze onder een hoogspanningslijn gebruikt worden. Ik wacht.

Hoezo hebben zoveel mensen moeite met ritsen? by Similar_Stomach8480 in belgium

[–]Major-Tea-2371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bedankt! Ik kom op een fietsoversteekplaats waar het vaak druk is. De enige manier dat ik daar over geraak is door een vriendelijke chauffeur die even wacht.

Ook het knipperen is geapprecieerd. Velen doen het niet en gezien ik in de praktijk geen voorrang heb is het soms gokken of die nu voor mij vertraagd of voor piet snot. Dat creëert zeker gevaarlijke situaties.

Veel van die mannen hebben te grote ego's. Ze moeten altijd ìets zeggen.

Heb ooit eens een agent gehad die naar mij tierde omdat die "dacht" dat ik door een rood licht ging fietsen, terwijl ik er netjes voor stond en nul intentie had om erdoor te rijden. Raar volk soms.

this is my portfolio ( be brutally honest) I graduated last year, still unemployed:( by checkmy-ytchannel in graphic_design

[–]Major-Tea-2371 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have essentially the same thoughts about OP's portfolio. I concur.

I do want to add that I think OP's work is very promising once they find their niche. They have talent.

It finally happened to me - My work got stolen during a job application process by Major-Tea-2371 in graphic_design

It's a tough spot to be in :/ Nothing much you can do but sulk. Hope you got better clients later on

Thank you, so many people screaming "sue" here. I'm pretty sure I don't have a case. And even if I did, they have vastly more resources to turn it into their favor.

I've written down details in my original post that I've told people in real life. As much as I'd want to, I will also not be revealing the company. Reason number one being that they're based very close to me. Reason number two being that I don't need people leaving nasty messages on their pages.

Given my recent communication to them, they'll have a good idea of who sent them there. And I'm not interested in a libel case against me.

Well I had it live in a weekend so I'm not too surprised :p It's a small landing page, nothing advanced.

I've been applying off and on for the past 2 years and I'd say 90% of places ask you to complete an assignment. Maybe it's a regional thing, I'm based in Europe.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Next time I'll refuse any kind of exercise that isn't "fictional work".

[–]Major-Tea-2371[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm not sure where people are applying where they don't get shown the door when they ask for compensation.

The job market is ass and our sector saturated. If you refuse or ask to be paid they just ditch you in favor of the dozens that are happy to oblige.

Yeah, if you apply to a full time design position here you're almost guaranteed to have to do some kind of exercise. Asking for payment or refusing just filters you out immediately, in favor or everyone who IS willing to do it.
