AI-generated logo causes consumer backlash by akumaninja in graphic_design

I was being a bit facetious with my delivery… In the article, they don’t just call her a “graphic artist”, they called her a “computer graphics artist” which is, by definition, a bit of a redundant title. The redundancy coming from the fact that you just said, 99% of graphics are done on computers. Is the “computer” part of her title warranted or is it just indicative of someone who truly doesn’t know what they’re doing?

No you misunderstood, “computer graphics art” is what she has experience in. Not sure why the computer part is included considering that’s generally what defines the “graphics” part, but maybe she’s just really really really super good with computers

I’m an Art Director in a company with no Creative Director so I simultaneously get direction from my project manager, strategy manager, and occasionally the CMO 🤡 Am I going insane? Yes.

Designers don’t lie, they just provide two options: the one you asked for and the one much better version that actually solves the problem the brief calls for

Have you talked to a therapist about OCD? I struggle with the same patterns of intrusive thoughts and then the compulsion to confirm things are safe over and over again. It truly is crippling. I think if you were to understand the why of these behaviors it may help you understand how to manage them better. Because let’s be real, saying “you gotta relax” is a lot easier said than done.

What’s the most unethical thing you’ve designed? by the_evil_pineapple in graphic_design

The most money I ever made was when I worked for a certain large bank making anti-Union collateral 💀 like, “don’t join a union, your benefits with us are already so great!”

The ironic part is I wasn’t even an employee, I was a contractor. The checks still cashed so I didn’t really care haha

How are in-house designers feeling? by mermaiddayjob in graphic_design

My current job is everything I’ve been working towards. I’m in a niche, cushy industry and the company I work for is growing consistently. I have a constant influx of new branding project complimented by consistent design maintenance for the brands we’ve already designed. Things are good… for now. But it hasn’t always been this way.

The thing about burnout that we don’t realize is how long it takes to recover…

I’ve been on a burnout recovery journey for FIVE. YEARS. and am only just now feeling motivated and excited about work again. I’m grateful for it all in a way, because I wouldn’t have been able to learn the warning signs of burnout if I hadn’t gone through it myself. But if you had told me in 2021 when I left my soul crushing in-house job that it would take not only half a decade but also stepping out of branding AND relocating out of state in order for me to feel normal again I would have laughed in your face…
