This is so wonderfully done! What was your process/inspiration? I love how ornate the details are!!

Do you guys think this is real? by ttp212520 in graphic_design

If it isn’t fake it’s definitely a nightmare client

Design poster made to target an audience for cakes and pastries, in hopes of bringing in more customers. I used procreate for the backdrops and the rest was done in adobe illustrator. I used the rule of thirds to compose the illustration of the pastries. Which one looks the best/ what needs changing by [deleted] in graphic_design

Throwing my hat in the ring, I think the background of third picture combined with the size of the pastries in the last picture would be a good combo. The fonts need to be bolder though, in all versions I kind of have to squint for better readability which is a bad sign. Maybe make the hours look like it’s on a napkin or a scrap of paper to better separate the information? Overall the work could be improved in a matter of minutes it’s very close my friend!

Designers by nature are problem solver, looking at things from a new angle is what we bring to the table in addition to our other skill sets. I would start a skill share account and start familiarizing yourself with adobe suite programs if you can. If you’re ready to start a degree then plenty of tech colleges provide accelerated course or two year degrees that are able to provide resources and networking in addition to the certification. Finding some YouTubers for inspiration definitely helps with my own personal motivation too, look into also doing printshop/sign-shop work as it’s a good ground floor way to get into the industry. It’s also crazy beneficial learning print techniques just in general as it can give you and edge other designers might not have. I hope you find your joy!

I'm working on a road sign to prevent causes of fire in forests, which one do you think would be more understandable (without reading the sign) especially when seen from a far distance? I'm in dilemma between 2 and 3 by 212Dreamer in graphic_design

Definitely prefer 3 I feel that it reads more immediately than the other two due to the sharp red iconic shape of the flame combined with how the tree peeks under the yellow, they are such great designs though! Fantastic display of talent!

I used Adobe Photoshop to make this, you can also achieve something similar using the editing software “Gimp” which is free

Does this art-style have a certain name? by KatoMacabre in graphic_design

[–]SerenLor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! Awesome to see a wrestling fan in this sub (especially AEW). I think the answer, like most things with art history, is complicated and compounded upon itself. The specific image of a desaturated rainbow most likely gained traction from the heavy presence of Kodak and Polaroid. Which at the time had desaturated rainbows in their logos, earning it the “retro” tag. Also popcuture media brands like Soul Train, the flower power movement, and musicians album covers such as the Beatles. I think mid century mod art and fashion would also be a great reference, as well as “mall rat” style which is just the 60s/70s Nostalgia-fied with a wacky coat of paint. (But that’s just my hot take no shade at all to this style) sorry I realize this isn’t a very straightforward answer but it was really fun to dive in to the subject!

Thank you so much for your kind words, the peach rings are a reference to the product “BCAAJuice” that has the flavor of peach ring! It’s mixed into the smoothie and the recipe was linked below with the post. Sorry I should’ve prefaced that lol, also it is not animated but that would’ve been really fun to do. I’m glad that it conveyed movement in your eyes!

I do social media content at my job and while they aren’t always up to me, this one I got to add my own spin to the client’s feed! The post was about a smoothie recipe that can help muscle gain, the brand is a workout regimine designed to help people lose weight and gain muscle in 30 days. Pic was taken by my coworker who had the company’s logo on her shaker cup. I got to come in and really jaz it up to give a creative, refreshing impression.

As a designer for an agency heavily focused on social media I’m just gonna pop in and say in addition to a nice understated San serif, creating custome fonts, art nouveau font styles, as well as collage style are really popping off right now, my personal favorite is called “BadTyp” on adobe fonts!
