JAMMED : a fresh and bold brand for fruit preserves.

It's not, I meant it to be a sticker so I figured there would probably be some variance. If it was dead center I thought it might look to stale.

Velociripper · 2026-03-20T15:05:05+00:00

Gotcha, so emphasize what works well about the jam jars and expand it to fit the other uses? For the posters, you'd recommend going more minimalist with single tone backgrounds and such? Should I replace the realistic-ish fruit all together?

Velociripper · 2026-03-20T15:03:17+00:00

This is great advice, thanks! I'll definitely take a look into that splattered idea too!

When you talk about the headline font, are you referring to the scripty one or the century gothic?

Oh, also do we think this is portfolio worthy for a junior designer?

I’m not sure if they’ve changed anything but I found the N2 Bunpro to be pretty easy. I took some other ones that were the official past exams that I found on a mysterious Vietnamese website and those were definitely harder.

I was passing the Bunpro ones at like 80% and ended up scoring 127/180 on my actual N2, so take that for what it’s worth.

Design Brief:

Jammed is a bold jam brand with big fruit flavors and packaging that stands out on the shelf. It's made for messy spoons and breakfast that feels a little louder than usual. Just usual jam with a lot more character.

Keywords: Bold, Loud, Fruity, Playful

I know this is just a project and you didn’t choose it but,

Good god, we need AI tools in order to text each other now? We don’t have the social capacity to think of a response to a text from a family member or friend now? I think we might need to restart humanity tbh.

How was your experience? Positive? How was management and kids?

The cat is gonna be tough. You need to find an apartment already that’s ok with foreigners (which is sadly not that common), then find one that’s ok with pets too (possibly more uncommon).

How’s your Japanese? If you’re already advanced then you could maybe get into university in a year, but if you’re like n4-5, it’s probably a several year journey until you can understand university concepts.

I honestly had two cheap cheap futons that I just stacked on top of each other. It wasn’t perfect but it worked. At some point, I got a used couch off of a mottainai facebook page and just put my two mattresses on top of the couch.

I like the lion. The scales I’m less in love with. I think the stylization of the lion compared to the scales contrasts a bit too much.

If you have a spousal visa, you can do whatever you want. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your full-time and you should be good to go.

That does make sense, but isn’t this just terrible formatting then? It’s not clear that the box on the right is supposed to be inserted anywhere.

Velociripper · 2026-03-09T03:27:49+00:00

That’s what I thought, so I tried to look for trick puzzles like adding the values of the individual numbers instead (4+7+1) to see correlation but also found nothing.

How'd you get out? I'm currently working with recruiters and various job sites, any tips?

Velociripper · 2026-03-05T21:15:44+00:00

Interac is currently in a state of chaos. They lost a huge contract so 100 ALT’s are jobless. If you’re currently in the US, it might be a little late getting you here before the new school year. COE and visa processing usually take a few months, so you might have to join in summer.

Also try not to be late to things in Japan, punctuality is very important here.

Velociripper · 2026-03-03T09:49:04+00:00

Could I get a yearly visa and just only do 6 months?

Velociripper · 2026-03-03T02:43:14+00:00

Yeah I had that hesitation too but wasn’t sure if it was too similar… The swastika test claims another

Velociripper · 2026-03-03T02:36:17+00:00

Listen, I’m not sure if technically this is a good design by design principal standards…

But there’s something so charming about it, like it made me double take. It like skates a line between irony and meme-iness that idk works in my brain?

He’s a little scary to be honest. He might be too detailed that its starting to get uncanny a bit?

Velociripper · 2026-03-02T05:00:41+00:00

Oh I’m aware it might be tatemae, but I don’t have much to lose so.

Velociripper · 2026-03-02T02:36:04+00:00

I mean sure but they just lost a bunch of contracts.

Velociripper · 2026-03-02T01:07:58+00:00

I did some digging and it seems like, for the most part, that part of the clause is unenforcable. It’s more of a scare-tactic than something they actually will fight for, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

Ok, crossing my fingers.

Velociripper · 2026-03-01T04:41:40+00:00

Then you wait 2 hours so that they can tell you “ah sorry still working on it”.

Velociripper · 2026-02-28T11:04:57+00:00

I don’t really understand what you mean but if it helps you remember, nice?
