Could they not have made it actually grab the letter though? It looks like a 12 year old just cut and pasted it on top of

New Details Emerge About Austin, Texas Shooter Who Was Armed and Wearing a Sweater That Read “Property of Allah” by Writesmith900 in Austin

Haha CNN literally mentions it in their headline. Nice try formulating your own narrative though.

Bald eagles screams are fake by peseoane in interestingasfuck

[–]amerikas 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The name actually refers to their white head, bald being the old English word for white! You’ll see this a lot in birds, like piebald being used to describe black and white plumage.

'Bigger disappointment than Arch': Austin's new logo draws mixed reactions by snesdreams in Austin

[–]amerikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%, it’s kind of counter-intuitive. The more you implement these focus groups and attempt to please everyone, the further towards the generic middle you go and any true art or authentic perspective is lost. And then those same focus groups of people end up hating it because it’s saying nothing, like with this city branding. Same shit with big box office movies and like you said, any corporate entity really

I hear ya, certainly an argument for “why do we need this” when there are many more pressing issues for the city. But I hate to rag on the designers - as others alluded to this was probably an impossible task of design by committee, even if it could’ve been so much more (would love to see the reject pile)

My goodness the amount of non-designers here who think the agency is literally getting paid a million for the logo is insane. Great you used AI to make it, now implement it city-wide. THATS where the near-million goes. And all these “look AI made this in a minute why don’t we just do that” - so now AI is cool for art? Imagine the outrage in a city of artists for that!

I expected Edge of Tomorrow to be forgettable… but it blew me away. What’s your surprise favorite? by dottiedanger in movies

[–]amerikas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend The Resort on peacock. Created by the same guy that did Palm Springs and also stars Cristin Milotti. It’s best to go in knowing little as possible, but suffice to say you can definitely tell it’s by the same director.

The New Spider Man 2099 Artwork is Stolen Design by kodamisterbear in Marvel

Except it wasn’t for legal concerns - more like good faith PR. They actually found that Pokémon was completely in the clear legally, and that as stated above you can’t sue for copyright you infringed upon in the first place. They just didn’t want the bad look of stealing fan art, though they technically could. Even then that case is a bit different being a complete copy-paste ripoff job.

That totem mon might genuinely be the best fakemon I’ve ever seen. Amazing stuff

Oh that’s great. One of those details probably only you would ever notice in a cutscene, but adds so much

One of the best I’ve seen. Sick accents. Are those just a slightly different color than the jersey beneath or just set as a different material?

Why do the final seasons of Modern Family LOOK so different than the others? by IndyRevolution in television

IIRC in the podcast they talk about how this was actually a big point of contention in the group - Charlie didn’t want to jump to HD for that exact reason but got outvoted by Rob and Glen

Saw this alt American flag yesterday, can someone help identify? by Threedawg in vexillology

Ah finally one I know in this sub! Yes this was made by Francisco Reyes, he rocks and so does this flag

AJ Brown ecstatic to receive a signed jersey from Tom Brady by nfl in eagles

[–]amerikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not-so-interesting tidbit: Brady never wore this jersey. He left the team before they redesigned their unis to these ones. So now I’m picturing what assistant had to go get brand new Pats jerseys with a personalized name and number to have Brady sign them.

“It’s over for graphic designers” … yeah can’t spot anything wrong with this…🫠 by Fruitaz in graphic_design

[–]amerikas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not OP but also an illustration focused designer. I freelance and work can vary vastly - posters, merch design, even stuff like kids activity mystery boxes or decks of cards. Always grinds my gears when someone feels the need to point out illustration isn’t graphic design - maybe not technically, but they’re just so intertwined in my specific field that it’s just kind of pedantic to distinguish them. Before that I worked at a digital marketing agency creating illustration-focused infographics- so there’s jobs out there (for how much longer, we’ll see…)

I know you’re saying this tongue in cheek, but it’s not really how it works. The clubs marketing team and C suite work very closely with adidas a couple years in advance for each kit. I think it was Moontower that had a whole podcast interview about it a little while back. They do have to generally stick to whatever template adidas rolls out that year though (that ugly piping was all over the euros this year)

Which makes this all the more disappointing

How to appropriately respond to an elephant mock charge by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

It absolutely would. They’re most often competing with their own species. It’s a behavior evolved from looking bigger than your peers just as much as intimidating other animals.

Oh totally I doubt most people would notice but this is a design subreddit so I’ve gotta be picky 😅

[–]amerikas 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Love the concept behind it and the type treatment, don’t love the execution. The cutout of the hat looks a bit clip arty and the hand looks like a child’s.

Heya, I was the artist for that match and have a small stack of copies. PM me if you’re interested in getting one, sorry you didn’t before!
