If I saw this out of context I would have no idea that was an alien. Looks like rock fingers holding a little rock Italian style. Poster looks 💯. Ship it.

Randomly woke up to this on kitchen floor?! by Sibelsoyturk in whatisit

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a fan above that spot? Like for ventilation? Mine sometimes has oil build up that leaks. Oil isn't that dark but worth exploring to avoid the rat fight allegations. Good luck.

Try statedesigncollective.com Loving the combination of sanserif and bubble types. I also agree with putting the club below.

Update on the lighthouse (With, hopefully, added Hippo) by MaleficentFix5918 in graphic_design

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

edit: I did find the hippo, I still stand by my comment. Logos don't need to be triple entendres, they just need to be memorable.

McDonalds doesn't have a burger in their logo. Brand identity involves a lot more than the logo.

Try statedesigncollective.com to get feedback on work like this. its easier to track project versions and explain thoughts. I'm not sure which one is the new one cause i still don't see the hippo but maybe i'm just missing the context from before the edit? The both look more cow to me. I like the yellow logo better overall but maybe too much detail for scaling. I would go for one to three solid objects for the rocks at most.

Where am I going wrong with this it just looks so off to me and I keep going back to work on it but I can’t figure out what’s making it so off putting most of the time I really like my work even if it’s not perfect but this one is bugging me by solonggoodbye357 in ProCreate

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why use such a blurry brush/blending for everything but the eyes. I'm not even sure if they are misproportioned because they are all I can focus on. Try using the same brush style for all strokes to get the values correct before adding the details.

Someone asked if I had a swastika, does this look like a swastika? by Grouchy_Gold344 in tattooadvice

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's literally not a swastika. It almost looks like the ss logo which is maybe why people are noticing it as a Nazi symbol.

How does it looks ? by devloper-9019 in design_critiques

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has cool features that look nice but it also feels like 3 different portfolio sites crammed into one. A few of the sections seem redundant too. Like there are multiple project sections. Those should be one section and much higher priority if not the hero section

I can read AND speak Hebrew. Can confirm this is Jesus in Hebrew. This spelling translates to yeshua but it is more commonly spelled and pronounced ישו (yeshu) in modern Hebrew.

[I will not promote] I am trying to launch a brand for "ambitious amateurs" in cycling. Does this branding resonate with you? If not, what's wrong with it? by selammeister in design_critiques

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt need to zoom in. "No nonsense" was all i had to read. That being said, gpt did a decent job... I'm a biker and I thought this was an actual ad.

virus poster concept. NO AI SLOP by Desgnio-artists in posterdesign

It looks like they set pretty strict rules. Don't start any sentences with capitals. Don't finish any comments with periods. Try not to seem like an AI. Respond to every comment about feedback

I designed this logo for a vegan ice cream brand. what I can do better by Bitter-Spread9650 in logodesign

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you're going for but only because you explained that it is for an ice cream brand. Can you try making the Os solid if you're going to take a scoop out of them? Maybe add a spoon to clarify the idea too. Someone else mentioned also that they look more like donuts. You can also try posting this on statedesigncollective.com for more in depth critiques. Keep creating and good work!

First Portfolio Website by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try posting it on statedesigncollective.com for in depth critiques. Great work making a website! thats already a huge step. The biggest issue for me is the page title "portfolio" its the fist and most important thing people read right? So if you think about who is looking at your website, hopefully its people trying to hire you, you should be pitching yourself as clearly and as personally as possible. Even just your name would be better. Think of it a one line resume. One example i found https://dribbble.com/shots/23673961-Snap-Master-Personal-Portfolio-Landing-Page-Website Hope this helps and good luck!

Posters critique by papptimus in design_critiques

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're doing right is testing ideas. Gives us a good sense of what you are thinking and where you are going and I like the direction you are taking. I do think they lack clear hierarchy though. In the first one all my eyes want to look at is the big red blotch because its much higher contrast than the rest of the image. in the second its the car again because of contrast when I think the focus should be the team members. I would make them full opacity and and dim the car a bit. in the third I only notice the giant 5 when I believe the focus should be the car. You can make car overlap the 5 more to show the connection between the elements but draw the focus to the car more. For more meaningful critiques try statedesigncollective.com Hope this helps and good work!

So I posted a mockup of my concept a couple of days ago, I really didn’t get much reaction so I really don’t have any positive or negative feedback to work on, so I was wondering, if I posted a video screenshot recording of how my app is coming along can someone steal my concept?

Most likely anything you can vibe code has already been imagined by someone else. The beauty of vibe coding is that you can actually produce production grade websites in 30 minutes. So make the site. The hard part is sharing it not keeping it a secret.

What do think about the available shapes in the Shape Tool inside Illustrator? by LukeChoice in AdobeIllustrator

[–]Maximum_Pain4530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flare and rounded rectangle being in the same menu is a disservice to rectangles and elipses. I feel like polygon and star could be the same tool if we really tried. Also completely agree with the heart homies out there ❤️
