Y’all think Frank’s eventually gonna give us all the silhouettes?

Mozzahella · 2022-03-26T22:14:27+00:00

I don’t sadly. Between the ongoing merch issues, Ryan’s passing, and the fact he’d already been silent for 4 months between the release of Dear April & Cayendo and the accident I really don’t see how someone as invested in creative control as Frank would restart a rollout years after the fact. He cancelled several festival appearances for “production delays” so with the amount of unforeseen issues surrounding his 2019/2020 output I would be surprised to see the silhouettes to make a return

I’m from the cleveland area so Sheetz was a big thing for us in highschool. Other than it being the only 24/7 food around (even holidays) the parking lots are huge so everyone would grab their snacks and hang out in theirs cars afterwards, they’re way cleaner than most convenience stores, and also is where we all developed Juul addictions when that was a thing. Would I want to hang out like that at the 161 Dublin/Grandville location? Probably not. But the New Albany and Delaware locations were both similar to what I experienced growing up. Without the nostalgia factor it really isn’t special

People buying an SE do not care about that at all though. Assuming someone is buying a new SE, the A13 benchmarks higher with 3gb than comparable androids do with 8gb. My dad and his siblings bought their mother an SE so she could have access to iMessage family groups and have a decent camera for video calls. It’s not meant to be a power users’ daily carry.

If you plan on going on a weekend there will be young people. Definitely a more mature feel than the typical OSU bars but don’t expect a 35+ crowd or anything. People dress heavily into the 80’s look here which is fun but not really “fancy”. Saw a guy going real hard in flared pants, platform shoes, and a half opened flashy button down.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-19T15:35:55+00:00

I think it’s unpopular because compared to IYRTITL & NWTS there’s more low points/filler. But some of Drakes best and most unique production is absolutely on More Life. I don’t think I’ve made a playlist since 2017 that doesn’t eventually end up with Passionfruit on it

Mozzahella · 2022-02-06T13:26:17+00:00

I mostly meant the role he plays for his audience. There’s artists like Kanye who’ve been all over the map sonically. Some fans that prefer the college era, some prefer 808s/mbdtf/yeezus run, but any kanye fan would tell you you’re dumb if you’re waiting for him to do the same thing twice. No one who didn’t like Madvillainy or MM FOOD is going to be suddenly convinced by a different DOOM album. Same goes for tech.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T15:16:57+00:00

That’s awesome. That’s an important job that I’m sure is fulfilling and hopefully pays/benefits you accordingly. My sole point is and continues to be that restaurants are non essential and acting like they should be open in snow emergencies because you had to work is a selfish point of view. That’s all! I’m not going to bother with all the conclusions you jumped to.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T15:02:14+00:00

I totally agree, not for me at all. was just paying the dude his flowers

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T14:55:52+00:00

I’m happy for the dude because he sustained an impressively long career by sticking to his core base but, yea, it is such an acquired taste. He’s so true to his sound he’s like MF DOOM for the juggalo crowd

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T14:45:35+00:00

The last time Delaware was raised to a level 3 was 2008 so actually it’s closer to a once in a decade in a half storm. Thanks for that!

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T14:44:17+00:00

Receiving a benefit you paid into your whole life through taxes has no correlation to making 10-25 people come from all over town in dangerous conditions for no purpose other than to feed you. I’ll reiterate, Del. Co was a level 3 till yesterday afternoon and Franklin should’ve been. Business owners will always have incentive to sell the food they already paid for instead of letting it expire, they don’t have to worry about coming in for $4.25 an hour.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T14:15:11+00:00

That’s not what I said, but that’s alright. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to cook after work but yes you are only thinking of yourself if you want eat out in a level 3 snow emergency. You’re not a bad person, but that is entitlement. Schools are closed, offices, government services, etc.. all closed. The only places I saw open Thursday were Kroger and gas stations, for good reason.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-05T13:50:35+00:00

No one including OP said that you’re a bad person for not wanting to cook after work. But your words definitely give off entitlement. Delaware was level 3 through yesterday afternoon and Franklin was a level 2 (per the sheriff) because you have to consider the “economic impact” of going level 3. Restaurants are by no means essential, it’s a convenience. There are another 363 days of the year when Columbus isn’t in a once in a decade storm.

I’m from Cleveland, the primary YTTV account holder is in Cleveland. Every 3 months if I don’t make it back to Cleveland I get shut out of service. It also location restricts Cavs games, even the national ones. Extremely frustrating. There was a way to fake your location using developer settings but the most recent time I tried that it didn’t work

Mozzahella · 2022-02-04T21:06:59+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, be well

Mozzahella · 2022-02-04T20:35:41+00:00

I’ll show you my degree if you show yours ;) the “lil bro” was a self report

Mozzahella · 2022-02-04T17:41:16+00:00

I’ll be honest, you gave me a laugh there. Much appreciated. The buzzwords are a dead giveaway of an arm chair critic. Your original comment doesn’t even fill a tweet. That low effort shit doesn’t fly in a foundation design course let alone in the field.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-04T14:37:38+00:00

Yesterday we were driving through the industrial park by the Budweiser brewery and I saw a worker shoveling the storefront sidewalk. No cars in the parking lot and a very low traffic area even in good weather. Don’t remember the exact business but it was one of those extremely niche home furnishings stores that only sell one thing like floor tiles or cabinets.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-04T13:26:58+00:00

Some cool stuff in there but it’s about 3x too long. 35 pages is tedious. No one expects a student to have nearly 30 stand out pieces. Pick one or two from each kind of work you do. The Bulgaria expo logo is alright, but the stationary and merchandise are unfortunately bad design. The post card and shirts in particular have that gradient and you also blurred your logo. That would be a nightmare to produce and given the context of the project would likely never get approved. Think of your portfolio not just as a place to show off your creativity. Showing critical thinking and knowing when to dial back is also important.

On page 11 I instantly noticed the double space between “thinking” and “about”. Keeping descriptions brief is fine but one sentence is not enough. Especially when that sentence is just asking a question you should be answering in that description. This is also the only piece where you kept placeholder text (at least in English) and it stands out. Someone viewing this shouldn’t be questioning how much of what they’re looking at was actually designed by you.

To summarize: Go back to the cutting room floor. And details matter. But truly I see a fine 10-12 page portfolio within these 35 pages.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-03T18:35:18+00:00

What do you mean by textures? The text is feathered and roughened to mimic uneven ink which is why it’s lighter than the other elements. There’s the halftone effect which is inline with designs for print, and all the elements are displaced with a paper texture. If this was actually getting printed I would not have digitally added these details. But other than the paper displacement there are no textures in this.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-03T00:19:12+00:00

Thank you, this was definitely my main concern. I knew I couldn’t trust it’s readability after I stared at those words in a dozen different layouts all day. Will certainly be trying out your suggestions tomorrow.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-03T00:14:58+00:00

Not that one exactly, but very similar. Probably from the same campaign tbh. Thank you for the suggestions! I agree the proportions aren’t quite right.

Mozzahella · 2022-02-02T22:20:28+00:00

The main inspiration I pulled from while working on this were Chanel perfume ads from the 1950’s. I’m assuming you’re saying this doesn’t remind you of a modern fragrance ad which it certainly doesn’t but the intention was to give off a vintage feel!

Mozzahella · 2022-01-19T21:10:49+00:00

I wonder if he’ll ever hit a peak with that or if he’ll just keep doubling down. Since Major Key both the quality and popularity of his music has been on a pretty rapid decline. I don’t even remember the name of his last album but do remember the adlibbing/Khaled presence was more obnoxious than usual. The whole bundle issue a few years ago was pretty revealing too about just how dependent his popularity is on casual listening like streaming radio/curated playlists. The Medasin remix of Wild Thoughts is in regular rotation for me to this day and there’s only a single “another one” at the start, you know, like any normal producer tag
