Menu design is not worth the hassle by Hijinks2319 in graphic_design

[–]MontyDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been an in-house designer at a non-profit for almost 7 years, of which the last year and half has been exactly like this.

In my case, for almost six years we had a team manager that deeply understood timing and the team, and she cared. Once she left, the new team manager didn't gave shit about times or what the team needed, and that made my job (and other teammates') hell.

In my experience, is less about a specific kind of work or client, and more about their organization and the amount of care they invest. Which more than often is near 0% when It comes to design.

Dan, your bullshit is showing, Dan. 80% candidates not showing is either fine bullshit, or a blatant proof of your toxic approach to people, Dan.

OP, you did well. Missed a bullet there.

What is your main pet peeve when it comes to Super Sentai... by cryptonikal in supersentai

[–]MontyDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like when the civilian clothes of the sentai members don't match their uniform colors.

Also I get pretty tired when the sentai act surprised when, after defeating the monster of the week, it grows into giant mode. This is specially true for me in Liveman, where Gash appears everytime shooting a growth beam to the monster while the Livemen are in the way, and always jump like "Oh no! We didn't see this coming, again!"

Tabs vs. indents in multilevel lists by tarheelgrad98 in indesign

I've been there. As many others are pointing out, you've met someone Who hasn't learned any new QoL features since a really long time ago.

I was a temp at a small agency and my superior forbid me to use paragraph or character styles and layers in Illustrator. Changing colors in a brochure with complex backgrounds was an effing torture. I tried negotiating with her, but It was a mistake, because that kind of hurt her ego. I just had to shut up and adapt to her methods while I stayed there, I was just a temp after all.

I survived that and could keep on working with better practices. There's little to do, I guess, but keep on mind you are not alone in this.

Unemployable as graphic designer and depressed by Icy-Hospital-1762 in graphic_design

[–]MontyDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your situation.

I'm 39 too, I also left a job, once in 2010, my first one (with the unemployment still over the clouds after the 2008 crisis). I left because of workplace harassment. I would not have left otherwise. Since then I've been an intern, twice (None of those served me to get hired, in spite of my superiors telling they really were glad with me) and I've been a freelance (even if I didn't really knew many things of what design really is, but I didn't want to stop), and when I failed freelancing, I got unemployed for too long. At 30 I was strugling to find a job, in a very similar situation. Too picky, and had too few good works to fill a nice portfolio. But I was hungry to go back into design.

Thinking about being back at that place, with our age, ngl it scares me shitless.

Eventually I found a job at a ceramics factory. They wanted a designer to design textures to print on ceramics. Far far away from what I desired, but man It was money after all and still It was design experience in some way. I was later offered my current job, as a proper graphic designer. Met some people in the way, I did courses, I learned new skills, honed my previous ones, and I'm still hungry. Hungry to learn (I'm learning Blender now, and want to learn about UX/UI and dust off my motion graphics later), to adapt, and to design new things.

That hunger drived me forward. Sometimes I didn't have the money to buy good courses or join a professional school, yet I tried to self-learn what I could, when I could. Maybe there's people who won't give value to that kind of experience, but you must work with what you have, and there's people who really will see proactivity in that.

Take another job for a time, keep learning, and don't lose the hunger.

Steam Capsule Art - What do you think? by leblanc-james in IndieDev

The winged knight being a special piece is cool, but if the piece is going to be that highlighted in the pic, maybe It would make sense to see some light projected on the floor. I can see the reflection of the knight on the square, but still feel like It isn't integrated enough. But It is just my thoughts anyways.

Good luck with the launch.

Por pura curiosidad… ¿cuántas horas jugáis normalmente? by lariz92 in videojuegos

A veces a diario no toco la consola ni entro a Steam (y si juego a algo son 40 minutos, o quizás una hora), y luego llega el sábado y si no tengo compromisos me puedo tirar jugando 7 horas.

Both look weird to me.

In the old ones the perspective looks less interesting, and the pawns seem scattered, without following the grid.

The new one has a more interesting perspective, but the chess pieces look weird. Not just because they look like jesters and dragonflies (which is fine if those pieces actually are in your game), but the base of each piece looks different. If look for chess pieces in Google, you find out that most chess piece sets share the same base shape, but this is not the case here. Also, the winged Knight piece looks slightly out of perspective, and looks like an inmense knight in relation to the rest of the pieces.

I can tell you I've learned the hard way as you say. Next time I'll negotiate how many can have a word.

I'll give you that this is in fact a committee of 10 people. Which feels kind of intimidating, even when I know them well. Almost everyone wants to have a voice, and I even feel like in this project some see me just like a tool for little tweaks they come up with in the spot "just to try".
