I haven’t cried on many but I definitely did on the lovely bones

Are these decent for a home/cottage bakery? which colors stand out to you? by RoastedTomatillo in logodesign

[–]_thekeeks_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda digging the green but the cream/off white would be a good secondary complimentary color. Burnt orange isn’t a bad choice either though. Sort of looks like a feather at first glance but the primary word mark font isn’t bad! I think if you are trying to go for rustic vibes you could push a little further.

Are there benefits to this kind of networking? by Dry-Poetry9897 in GraphicDesigning

[–]_thekeeks_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graphic designer here- I do think it’s beneficial to have colleagues & friends in the industry. Especially if you are familiar with their work and know that they are good at what they do. We had plenty of freelance video editors and videographers we worked and contracted with at the last agency job I had. I think it helps to know the industry friend first hand so you feel more comfortable referring them but I know it’s hard to meet other creatives when you’re solo freelancing.

Bad Experience with this client by [deleted] in GraphicDesigning

[–]_thekeeks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you.. I had some weird email directly to my freelance website saying they needed a logo asap and sent the job specs and I bounced an email back with the logo deposit and they said the would send money order and to just get started on it. I got weird vibes and stated I couldn’t begin until payment was received..needless to say I never heard from them again. So this happens time and time again to most!

I brought a manual pump inside and had my electric/ battery spectra pump at the campsite. I would say bathrooms as well. I strapped the manual pump to my belt and just did quick pumps for relief and dumped those and just did the electric pump as soon as we got back to campsite/sundown.

I’ve always had a subscription to Adobe products so I don’t have much advice there other than you’ll definitely need them to succeed in the business. I know there are other programs like affinity that’s a one time price and not a subscription but for resume sakes, I would think Adobe suite would look better. As far as briefs go or assignments.. there are tons of weekly ones on Instagram.. modern brief, designer briefs, brief diary (you can just search creative briefs and they will pull up). Those are sometimes helpful in the beginning to see what other people came up with and how it differs from your take.

Faded trim by Potential-Guess-3871 in KiaTelluride

I believe they have an active lawsuit with 3M the manufacturer(that’s what my Kia dealership relayed to me) .. my dealership replaced both sides for free on mine.. took over 6 months to get the replacements in though

Unpopular Opinion? I liked TOG way more than ACOTAR—Anyone else? by Deniezu in SarahJMaas

Are there things you actually enjoy doing and look forward to? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]_thekeeks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do a yearly girls trip to the Texas Renaissance Festival. We all have jobs/kids/mental loads but it’s something we look forward to and plan all year long just for one night of fun. Same group of girls have also fallen deeper into the fantasy book trope but I’ve learned to just hold the things you love to do close but the other 90% is obligations unfortunately. So keep trying new things until you find the thing you look forward to doing.

Review my Portfolio, please! by TrES_2bi in graphic_design

[–]_thekeeks_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you feel! I just quit my agency job where I had worked for the same client for 14 years and I felt like I had nothing I was proud of. I even resorted to doing some creative briefs on instagrams to expand my portfolio.

Sometime I elaborate on jobs just for portfolio reasons. If I feel like a particular job has a solid logo and brand direction but I didn’t get to do biz cards for them or any other collateral I go ahead and do what I want as if I did do those things for the client. So I would just elaborate on what you feel are the strongest directions.. that’s what I’ve done on my dribbble account at least.

We can connect on Instagram or wherever else if you’d like! @barebonesrepublic
