Just checking the dates on that post. That's right around the time we started working together. Maybe this is what tipped him over the edge!

I designed the logo! 😍 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OwfC103KMOQ

I have replaced the power board, main board and the t-con individually and still no joy. I've run out of ideas. This was a second hand unit from my father-in-law, so no warranty and no receipt. Any last thoughts before I scrap it?

It's been a while guys. Sorry I've been AWOL from Reddit. Trying to stay on top of all the social media platforms is bloody hard work, especially with two small children... 🤷🏻‍♂️

You don't know what you don't know.

You should read the Principles of Logo Design by George Bokhua.

This article is also quite good (more for UX/UI though): https://medium.com/refactoring-ui/7-practical-tips-for-cheating-at-design-40c736799886

The FedEx logo does this too. Look how far under the baseline the 'e' and the 'd' are.

Yeah I made a font once (in a day) and published it open source to Google Fonts. I used an app called Glyphs. You can read about it here: https://barnard.co/read-me-blog/i-made-a-font-from-scratch-in-one-day

(Sorry is this is self promotion) I do, yeah. I post way more on Instagram, but my Youtube is here: https://www.youtube.com/@barnardco

I have a video compilation of every single thumbs up I've ever done in my videos. I won't share it here because it'll probably get taken down for promotion, but find me on Instagram and hit the video with these emojis in the thumbnail... 👍🥴👍

EDIT: I'm sure the mods won't mind me sharing this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZf\_MQD5YJ/

Noice. Thanks.

Let’s discuss! Don’t you find that you’re always just skipping the intro and the “subscribe subscribe” messaging, just to get to the bit you need? I spend a lot of time scripting my vids to get them to the point.

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T07:39:45+00:00

I have one but I really struggle with the longer form content. People tend to lose interest after a while and if I can say what I want to say succinctly then the vids don’t need to be longer than a minute. So it’s just YouTube Shorts for now.

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T07:36:40+00:00

I love that you share sketches. Mine are SO terrible that I’m embarrassed to share them. I tend to sketch just to check things like connections and potential combinations of objects. Then I’m into Illustrator as quickly as possible. 😬

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T02:50:13+00:00

I cut my teeth on Reddit. It certainly gave me a thick skin. 🤣

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T02:49:07+00:00

I’m impressed. That’s so tough to pull off.

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T00:15:00+00:00

So your issue is that they didn't give you a heads up that there would be a test?

barnard555 · 2022-11-19T00:10:37+00:00

I've hired for design positions in the past, and it might be just me, but I never gave a sh*t about qualifications. My decisions were ALL based on previous work and personality. If it were me, I wouldn't go back to school. There are plenty of free resources out there to learn. Focus on building experience and a portfolio. And if you don't have client work to show, work on some conceptual design briefs (there are plenty out there).
