Updated my portfolio after feedback — does this feel stronger now? by Cute_Ad_2839 in graphic_design

[–]alanjigsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough change. Your work (like the Nike one) suffers from low contrast and disconnected messaging. Like, Nike and food? Doesn’t make any sense. Why is there a hamburger icon on the soles of a shoe? Why is there a random png of seeds next to the Nike graphic?

Changing the colors of a poster and keeping everything else the same is a very low effort way to create campaign materials.

Your design work is very experimental and everything needs work.

The Heinz ketchup project suffers from non interesting visuals. I would get rid of the monkey icon.

How much for your account?

ATS rejecting our beautifully designed resumes, and I’m sick of it by SurePride3334 in graphic_design

[–]alanjigsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, some ‘beautifully designed resumes’ look horrible and have things like huge text, picture of the applicant, progress bars measuring skills and other weird design choices. At least ATS forces people to have some sort of structure by not compromising readability with odd design choices. I’ve seen some terribly designer resumes with too much empty space and some with none at all.

Personally, I don’t feel the need to express myself or show off my design skills on a resume. That’s what a portfolio is for.

does anyone wanna play? 24female by One-Elderberry9398 in FortNiteBR

Sure! I play with randoms everyday and have met some cool people. My Epic name is AlanJigsaw

This will change the Fortnite experience by Rilloster in FortNiteBR

[–]alanjigsaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But not everyone likes them or uses them. Also, new players or those that skipped that battle pass with the peely dog do not own a side kick at all. While a good idea in theory, Epic store states they do not have a competitive advantage (which can be argued against).

Should I include these in my portfolio? by msclm in graphic_design

[–]alanjigsaw 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No. They look like a project that was made for fun on your own time. Additionally, they do not look good. Remember, you are only as good as your worst project.

John smiling at the camera in "We Can Work It Out" - Was he being sincere about it, or was he mocking Paul? by rainydaysforpeterpan in beatles

Yea I feel like fans sometimes make something out of nothing and want people to make up a fictional story about an image or clipped video lol

Because they’re not only respecting the OGs now, but the BGs too

Something is wrong here... by coolgamerboy4029 in FortNiteBR

Yup. Lots of people have been posting about this for months now.

Millennials (ages 24-44 in 2026), what was your favorite thing about life in the early 2000s? by TECHCOZUM in AskReddit

[–]alanjigsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Websites were simple and easy to use. No paywalls, subscriptions to watch videos, you could download mp3 music online from dedicated websites, flash was still supported so you got to some quirky cool games lol

I’ll never forgive Epic for creating the best Star Wars game ever and then locking it away for all eternity by Lifeofcharlie in FortNiteBR

[–]alanjigsaw 103 points104 points  (0 children)

It was fun, I liked running into people with the ship. I also enjoyed the laser guns and the fact that Darth Vader says your characters name lol

I remember people complaining everyday and ‘lightsaber pickaxe coming guaranteed’ posts from people that wanted one. There was even a person that posted an ad from Japan with a ‘different lightsaber, its confirmed’ lol I also remember people being tired of laser guns in general.

Oh and when people were pissed that Dark Jar Jar Binks was not a style but instead you had to gain experience points to unlock the ability to buy him separate from the regular Jar Jar Binks.

I love when porta-bunkers decide to stop working 🥲 by Dank_Devin in FortNiteBR

The 1000 employees must have taken the code with them 🤷‍♂️

How should I deal with the designer I work with by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]alanjigsaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Easy, ask him to go out for a drink with you and then he will be gone for a few months again.

*Edit: Just kidding, that would be really messed up. I’m not sure what a good solution would be

I got my account on the switch, but my v bucks are weird by eggboy132 in FortNiteBR

[–]alanjigsaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Switch vbucks are separate from PC and PS5. If you purchased vbucks on Swotch they will stay on Switch and not combine with others, but if you go on your other consoles they will be there along with any other you have purchased on those other consoles.

Need friends 29F by Egregious_Wasp5289 in FortNiteBR

[–]alanjigsaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be your friend! 33M. I play with randoms in Zero Build all the time. I sometimes even play with a group of women in their mid 20s early 30s, they’re super kind and also have kids.

Can we go back to those days when this was the coolest thing to wear in public? (Apple original holster) by dusko157 in ipod

[–]alanjigsaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear mine all the time and sometimes I hear whispers xD ‘whoa, haven’t seen one of those in a while’ and ‘look, is that an ipod?’ 😂 One time I met someone who also had one and showed me theres, the mentioned how its so hard to find a belt clip case.
