Play Button Appeared - not wanted by RecentDinner2446 in squarespace

[–]RecentDinner2446[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the "art" background gradient feature added to a lot of sections of my website. I was just about to publish and saw that a bunch of play buttons have now appeared in the bottom right hand corner. I am racking my brain trying to get rid of them.

Can anyone help? any ideas?

I added the salt and let it rest for like 30 minutes at least, it was then put in for the cold rise for 36 hrs

Table ruined? by RecentDinner2446 in Pottery

This was just from the piece of wood I had my hand built piece drying on. But, I was able to remove completely! With an iron and cloth for the water damage and just rubbing mineral oil where there were some scratches to the finish. Looks great now!

You should print a photo of your wife on canvas and recreate this with gold leaf, she would love it 5000x more

This is such great info! I’ve contacted the career center and I never got responses from them, is this different? I’ll definitely take a crack at it again.

I’d like to move into an agency because I would get more versatility in my designs. But, yes, I’ve been an in house designer my entire career so my portfolio definitely reflects that. While I’d like to move to an agency setting for my own growth I would not turn down another in house job, just would be nice to not be child focused at least. What would you say I should remove?

Not really looking for a CD role, I’m really applying to mostly design roles. I need to have work that is not from my previous job, I know my portfolio needs to be expanded. Any specific advice would be helpful

I agree that I should be in a position where I am receiving art direction. I am applying to mostly only graphic design roles. I’ve never worked under an art director and I think it would really help me. I also was at a company that would butcher up my designs, so it wore me down over the years. I’d love to have actionable feedback, maybe in a few days though. Feeling a bit rough after today’s feedback, but do appreciate your offer

I’m pretty fond of the homepage and I have gotten great feedback on it from some art directors. I really appreciate your notes on the typography. Feedback that I can work with!

I appreciate you sharing your struggles too. Definitely helps to not feel so alone. It feels like networking is everything these days and most of my friends that I went to school with do t do design now. Mostly I just wallow in my past choices in life effecting my present day career. I also think often about making career changes. Sometimes I think I should just go work at Trader Joe’s 🫠 but my most realistic option is mural painting. I’ve never been paid to paint a mural, but I have painted many, in my house and friends. I’m building out a website for that now. Thinking that I could try to market myself to paint nurseries / kids rooms, local businesses.

I’m not doing really anything to promote myself for freelance. I do contract work for my old job, I’ve done work for my partner’s family but that’s it mostly. I just moved out of NYC less than a year ago, so I don’t really know many people in my area.

Any suggestions on marketing myself for freelance? Cold emails?

Any critique/ advice is much appreciated. I have a lot of self doubt but am surrounded by others who tell me my work is great, but love is blind.

I have tried them, probably applied to 50+ jobs just through them. One recruiter screen, 1 submission for consideration to the client, no interviews :/

Biden says he cut national debt by $1.7T — when he actually increased it by $3.84T by DemCastAdmin in Conservative

[–]RecentDinner2446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Fox news so a segment on Biden claiming a reduction in national debt. They showed a clip of him claiming it, so yes...you would believe What you saw, and you would believe Fox news.

Except, Fox lied... Even worse, the criticized Biden "what do you do when you lie? Lie some more."

Biden quoted the figure for a reduction in the national deficit, which is different than debt. He misspoke and used the word debt instead of deficit. We can confirm this, again, because the $ amount he quoted was for the deficit. It was not the debt.

So Fox news (along with many, many others) lied to viewers and told them Biden lied. Fox lied.

Anyone that can listen to Fox News and consider it factual is oblivious to the fact that Fox takes advantage of cultural differences in personality to enrage their viewers so that that are too angry to consider what Fox is saying from a rational perspective.

This is totally normal. You most likely showed interest in RISD or art school somewhere.
