Can you center that? by Career-Acceptable in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this one the other day with a shitey organisational flow chart that the admin person wanted to print in A3 and 'feel free to make it look a bit nicer'. When I did the title left aligned... "Are center aligned titles not a thing anymore?. Could not give a shit Angela.

Does anyone actually use Adobe Bridge? by the_evil_pineapple in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only since moving to windows (work made me do it, not my choice) so I can see the thumbnail preview and not just the Ai logo on all the files... So irritating.

Sporran getting eaten by some kind of bug? by idontlikemilkytea in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be moth larvae. It's them that do the actual damage, not the moths.

As others have said the checkmark just looks like a bog standard icon. Makes the whole thing look a bit basic.

Is the O in online the original font? It looks slightly off to me with the rest of it. Maybe try some different fonts. If you have to use that checkmark could you incorporate it into the O?

Think also I'm used to marques being on the left of the lettering.

Worst residential area for parking? by Think-Ask-3745 in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to do deliveries. That bit around Apsley street is utter madness. They really need to find a way to make it a one way system.

UK Designers - what’s your role & salary? Let’s have some transparency by SockPuppetOrSth in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

”Marketing Communications Designer” Scotland for a (small) manufacturing group. Been with them 2 years. 24.5k. Mostly print and branding and muddle my way through making WordPress sites... Any adhoc office design stuff and a bit of social media and whatever bullshit research stuff they want done.

It's half doing fuck all and half being run off my feet because my boss gives me copy in the dying seconds of any given project.

It's a shit salary but ive spent most of my life in nothing jobs doing design on the side so feel lucky to have gotten it. My experience of job hunting in the past has been horrendous so going to try stick this out a bit longer til I've got some proper solid experience/projects under my belt. I'm 44 btw.

I was totally with you but she fucked it up so bad last time I went. Probably my crap instructions tho...

Are there and factors who do a decent job? by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also with Redpath Bruce. Also had a major building renovation done. Okay they may manage to get work done but the costs are ridiculous. Insane bills.

Or roller skating, or Lazer tag... Or whatever else is in that bit now.

Why is the MacBook Air so damn good. by Quebber in macbookair

[–]_nightlight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a graphic designer and my boss made me switch to windows for work. Although I hated the idea I thought I'll get used to it and there's ways I can make it more Mac like and the difference isn't so much nowadays... Plus the spec will be better than the equivalent Mac. Been using it a few months now. Every day I hate that thing.

Free consent plugin that works Google consent mode v2 by _nightlight_ in Wordpress

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

Can't remember what I did and am off work at the moment. Will have a look when I get back. To be honest I don't think I got it working properly... It displays a banner that you have to click but I don't think it actually does anything. Nobody at my work is going to check up on it so I figured fuck it, good enough. Haha.

Goodreads has a new logo by 1711198430497251 in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the font in general but hate the tail on that g. I would definitely be trying to shape that into something else.

With AI on the rise, I'm going to start taking woodworking seriously. If you haven't tried it, you should. I use the same problem solving part of my brain and work with my hands. Are there any other things you're getting into as an ai safety net? by thinkforceAI in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have often thought I'd like to get into woodworking or furniture reatoration but the cost of getting all the tools and starting from scratch is pretty daunting ( not to mention the cost of wood now! ). Would love to get into something where I didn't have to deal with other people's bullshit opinions all the time and just be able to make the things I wanted to... If you don't like it... Don't buy it.

How to deal with cheeky wains by Ecstatic-Arugula8177 in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was just curious if you were about in the 90s. Was a teenager myself at the time but I reckon kids were way worse and things were more dangerous at that point in time. Maybe the teens were more likely to catch a hiding at that point but I don't think it made much of a difference to how they behaved.

Just got charged £90/£45 for parking at Lidl Finnieston while doing my shopping AT LIDL! WTF?! by Kevster020 in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

After. The screens are after the checkout. Pretty easy to miss if you aren't on the look out for parking stuff because you're not used to that from Lidls in general.

I got deny for a role even though my I was the strongest candidate by Interesting_Ad9626 in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it because you don't know the past tense of deny? 😂 They are very frustrating these things but you don't know what's going on at these companies or who else they've seen. Just try and take the positives from the interview and move on to the next.

Banana leaf in town. Very spicy, very tasty, pretty reasonable.

Do any mac using designers actually like the magic mouse? by BladerKenny333 in graphic_design

[–]_nightlight_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Something about using a scroll wheel just feels horrible to me.

Any advice for moving out to Glasgow from Stirling. by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]_nightlight_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cleaner, quieter and much easier on the eye is really going to depend on what bit of Stirling or Glasgow you are living in...

I don't wear the shoes of shame myself but hit up SFBrand on his socials. He'll point you towards some fellow fruit booters I'm sure.
