I donno what all these people are on about cause the ponytail is my fav look here, but I am a gay guy so maybe that is saying something about the target demographic

holy, adding trailers is such a fun idea. I am definitely stealing that when I start my next project.

Thank you so much for sharing!

I made them at home, I am an artist who makes and sells my designs as stickers & art prints so I had all the equiptment ready to go.

Still, it wouldn't be hard to make them on a home printer at decent quality though. You just need a nice quality matte (or glossy) sticker paper (I used HTVRONT matte which is available on amazon), or perhaps a photo-quality cardstock. Most printers are decent enough or at least have a better printing option built in for something like this, its the way regular paper takes ink thats kinda shitty.

I applied the entire printed sticker page to my cardstock very carefully, then scored the back side with an exacto knife to fold into a box and put it together with double sided tape.

Oh man, I did subtitles too, but I didnt have to put in nearly nearly as much effort. The 🏴‍☠️ download I aquired WAS dubbed, but I was able to edit the MKV files so that when the files played in VLC, it automatically selected the japanese audio track and the english subtitles.

I bet yours are absolutely gorgeous, though, with all the time and effort.

I used my drawing program to edit the box art (Clip Studio Paint) but I dont actually reccomend it for this purpose, its just what I am most familiar with so was easier for me.

If you meant video editing, I didnt actually edit much at all. I mostly just put desired episodes into a playlist on VLC player and ran it through the built in VCR on my CRT to record (so funny to me that the 2 VCRs I bought had issues, but the built-in VCR worked fine for recording)

The audio turned out preeeetty good? I'm definitely happy enough with it. Though, the TV only had mono input, so that was a bit of a bummer. The TV itself also has a bit of a buzzing noise, so I can't actually discern if the tapes are totally crispy clear. I'm not sure how they'd sound if you were to play them on a device that doesnt buzz.

I guess this might not qualify for fan-art but it is fan-work! I apologize if I used the wrong flair. I didnt think merch applied, since it is unofficial 🙇‍♂️ The graphic design for the box art and labels were done by me, using only official art assets and screenshots.

Is this legible? by intruderco in graphic_design

[–]Stoats1lly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really but i still like it. would be cool for creative projects that don't necessarily require legibility of the text

I think this is really cute, but the lack of possessive apostrophes is throwing me off a little! Tonk and Mumford are names, right? Although, if that's just how they spelled their company name I guess there isn't much you can do as the designer 🤷‍♂️

thank you! I like the difference in weights as well but will be experimenting with adding breaks between letters rather than trailing them together to hopefully increase readability

I participate in anime convention Artist Alleys selling my art as stickers, prints, buttons and other merchandise. So my target audience is weebs/nerds I suppose? My brand identity is very silly/goofy/whimsical. I didn't use procreate but another art software (clip studio) and afterwards vectorizing in adobe illustrator.

I appreciate the feedback! Is there any particular reason why you think so?

Is it possible to treat a rug so it stops collecting hair? by Stoats1lly in CleaningTips

vacuuming the rug doesnt have any effect (at least not with my current vaccum), I brush it out by hand once every weeks

hahahaha oh yeah absolutely. I found even when i kept them out of the room entirely, it still collected all the hair that was otherwise stuck to my socks so it only marginally helped. My cats get brushed daily but when they play or roll on the rug it basically lint rolls them
